Digby Wallet...
...and Warren Eisele, and me. When Digby and I weren't sharing my tresses, we were drinking cold beer and and perving at hot women at the Umhlanga Surf Life Saving Club, amongst many other places: Cottonfields, Joe Kools, The Cattleman, Jack Rabbits, The Sands, Bonkers, Harleys, Cool Runnings, The Hard Rock, Funkies, Hotel California, Yazoo, Billy the Bums, The Westville....etc., etc., and literally "add" nauseum. Man - we had such great times.This was a true friend...a bon-vivant and a confidante. He would have been my Best Friend Forever if the bloody cancer hadn't taken him away. He is still with me though, ever present! I have the occasional "Stoli and cranberry juice" with him. I still share my affairs of the heart with him. He still listens, and he never judges. We still laugh together. I still cry on his shoulder. He has the patience of a saint and the heart of a lion.
He used to say to me: "When my daughters grow up, I want them to be just like you". What greater compliment could there be? I try to live up to his expectations. Digby, I hope I never fail you! I miss you buddy! A LOT!!!

Hello Yngwie,
ReplyDeleteI poured a lot of those drinks :-) They truly were great times. Simple and uncomplicated. It's lovely to see you and Digby again.
This memory has created a lovely bubble...right in the middle of my frightful day. Sweet nostalgia!
