I'd like to say a few words about Colin, as I said he was my best friend and I miss him very much! He was a great guy , one in a million with many friends ((Makes me proud to have been close to him!)).
He was a large part of my life and was taken away with his family ((MR &MRS Beck and Tanya)) in a freak accident with a truck! Colin was always there for any who needed support and I really feel alone without him.
Him--->>Well what can I say.......If it was a challenge He would take it on ((he would flirt with a pavement if he thought it was available *LOL*)). All he wanted was to be successful and he was definately on the right track! He was a good swimmer and a brilliant academic......super confident and always smiling.......*BS*
I would say that he had a great life.......Too damn short but filled with goodtimes and some bad......He lived life to the fullest and tried out many new things while I watched......Although I feel there were too few greattimes spent with him...I am thankful for those I had and will cherish them always! *S*
To say the least, Colin was all the things I wasn't and that made being with him so great ....I admired him, his confidence, optimism and his determination.....((he knew what he wanted and he would get it!)) He always wanted to stay young and in a way he will, because in my memory he can never age!*L*
I'll never replace what I lost when he died.........
Here is some cool stuff which says it better....*S*
Friends
A friend is someone that makes you happy.
A friend is someone who cares.
A friend is someone you want to spend your time with.
A friend is someone who is always there.
A friend is someone who is there, when no one else can be.
A friend is someone who never judges.
A friend is someone to comfort you, in unhappy times.
A friend is someone who will be there forever!
A friend is someone to laugh with, to cry with.
A friend is someone to share your innermost thoughts with.
A friend is someone with whom you can share hopes and dreams.
A friend is someone who will encourage you to reach those dreams.

Even when they are no longer with us,
we still think of them as being close.
We feel their warmth, and remember special things they said and did,
and times we shared.
And sometimes, we hurt because they aren't with us; we miss them so intensely and think of things we wish we'd said.
But we can find strength in the impact they made on our lives; we are so much richer for our association with them.
We can smile, and celebrate the realization that love is unlimited by distance or time,
and that our hearts will forever hold the people who fill our thoughts.
Friendship
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.
This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we want to be.
But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was ours
alone.
And we allow that person to see, to feel and to share
All the reason, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.
That person adds new perspective to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our special place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend.
