A SPECIAL TRIBUTE

This part of my homepage is dedicated to a good friend I lost earlier this year. I had known Andreas (Andros as I used to call him) for over 18 years, he passed away at the age of 37 on the 4th of April 1997, after a long battle with cancer. I was with him during the last 2 weeks he spent in hospital and I saw and lived the pain he was in. When I was told by his sister that he had passed away, just a few hours after I had left the hospital, I didn't know if I should be sad or happy. I sure was sad for the loss, but on the other hand I was happy that his pain was over and that he'd be much better of where he had gone. The following few lines I wrote the day he died, you might find it a bit confusing but that was the state of mind I was in those few days.

The music you hear in the background is "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" by Elton John. This was Andros' favourite song......I hope you can hear this Andro wherever you are...it's for you.

The guy in the picture is Andros himself, the pic was taken exactly 1 year before his death.

FLIGHTS OF THE MIND

What is the difference between reality and nightmare, or rather...... what is reality, what we live or what we call a nightmare? Maybe what we live is a nightmare after all, but if that is the case what is reality.... maybe reality is a nightmare. If these wars, hunger, misery and pain in this world aren't a nightmare then what are they? Or is it that we call nightmares the bad things that happen to us in person...why so much egoism.

Good bye my friend.
