Remembering Desmond
I lost Desmond at 5pm on July 21st 2006 and, as people who read me regularly will know, he has never been very far from my thoughts. I spent today doing pretty much my usual stuff; a three hour one to one teaching session with one of my students and a bit of time at home before going over to my practice rooms to see a therapy client and of course I thought about Desmond perhaps a little more than usual.
He had such an amazing impact on my life, I totally believe that I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for him. He opened up a world to me that I might have missed out on and he was perhaps the only person whose advice I could trust to be impartial - though I regularly ignored it!! He was my best friend, my partner in crime and undoubtedly my soulmate. I only regret that so many years were between us meaning that we were parted earlier than either of us would have liked.
Still, I was glad I was there right till the end and the last person he saw on this earth was me. He saved my life when I was young and heading for trouble and though I couldn't save his life three years ago at least he knew I tried.
God bless you Desmond I love you still.

Oh my gosh. Bless you. This made my heart swell with love for you and your darling. I am glad to know you, if only here. A beautiful post. May his memory impact the world. A joyous ripple in the sea of humanity.
A very moving tribute to a remarkable man. He would be happy to know that you are now settled with some one else who cares for you . Marie
What a lucky pair you both were to have one another. I shed a tear as I read your tribute, but it was a good thing. So many people miss out on what made you and Desmond's relationship special since they are focused on superficial things. A lot of couples could stand to learn a thing or two from the example you both lived.
