A few days ago I lost a best friend. He died far too young. I will always regret not doing more to help him and be there for him through his internal struggles. I have no more that I want to say here, apart from one thing.
Please, everyone, look out for your friends. Keep any eye out for those who withdraw and disappear off the map. If someone you know is deeply unhappy, talk to them, it could save their life.
Lots of love to you all,
Simon Oxenham
Postscript: I have been writing here lately about a lot of grand plans, I still intend to fulfil them and please keep the comments and emails coming, but forgive me if I don’t respond right now. I will need some time to process things. I will continue my normal activities soon but might put off taking on extra commitments for a little while.
