Tomorrow is the big Walk MS day, it's starting at ten a.m so we have to be up good and early. I'm looking forward to it although it probably will be a little emotional as I am going to See other people with MS that are in a worse position than me and I'm sure it's gonna be a little hard to deal with. I imagine I will be wondering if I will end up in a bad way but fuck it, I'm not now and I must face the reality. Things aren't so bad i suppose as I heard today my poor friend that I went to school with had a horrible accident and passed away this morning. R.I.P Cuddles, what a shame such a nice lad. His name is Gerard Kerr and I went to school with him since we where four years old, that is and Ardee nick name I forgot to add to the list. H e would attend my birthday party's as young fellas and I would attend his. I can remember that he used to live beside Seamus Farrelly on the Dundalk road and myself and Bobby Dunne would call down on the bikes and have a mess with Nicky Callan, Blacky, Cuddles and the catapults out in the fields. I can't remember exactly but we did some sort of messing involving Brian Farrelly. We where only gasons and I think we made him cry or something stupid like that. Seamus took myself, Cuddles, Dunney and Brian in to his house and reenacted a court house, him being the judge. We all had to take turns in our defense and Seamus decided who was innocent and who was guilty. I think we all where a bit innocent. All the best to The Kerr family, Adrian Black (blacky)and Nicky Callan (fat) as I know they where close to Cuddles, it will be a hard time the for the next while and I will be thinking of them.
Sad when you lose an old school pal, and one so young too,all you can do is to be with his family in spirit,God bless them.BIG HAMMER.
