In Memorium

Then suddenly again, Christopher Robin, who was still looking at the world, with his chin in his hands, called out "Pooh!"
"Yes?" said Pooh.
"When I'm - when - Pooh!"
"Yes, Christopher Robin?"
"I'm not going to do Nothing any more."
"Never again?"
"Well, not so much. They don't let you."
Pooh waited for him to go on, but he was silent again.
"Yes, Christopher Robin?" said Pooh helpfully.
"Pooh, when I'm - you know - when I'm not doing Nothing, will you come up here sometimes?"
"Just me?"
"Yes, Pooh."
"Will you be here too?"
"Yes Pooh, I will be, really. I promise I will be, Pooh."
"That's good," said Pooh.
"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."
Pooh thought for a litte.
"How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."
Pooh nodded.
"I promise," he said
Still with his eyes on the world, Christopher Robin put out hand and felt for Pooh's paw.
"Pooh," said Christopher Robin earnestly, "if I- if I'm not quite -" he stopped and tried again- "Pooh, whatever happens, you will understand, won't you?"
"Understand what?"
"Oh, nothing." He laughed and jumped to his feet. "Come on!"
"Where?" said Pooh.
"Anywhere," said Christopher Robin.
So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place at the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.


This is dedicated to those whom guided and befriended me, but have since moved on.

And also to those whom I hardly see on anymore...

And finally to those real-life friends of mine (who simply confuzzle me :)
