Slipping away

 John Byrne, Artist

He of the portrait of the Big Yin.

Shane of the Pogues.

Losing friends too. 



I can see changes in Pirate too..but he is fighting and working hard to stay here.

They won't give us a prognosis...in case they get it wrong. We can understand that.

Moved to listen to Fairytale of NY (w Kirsten MacColl)— it’s the time of year too, but for a sad reason…

Here’s to the Fighting Pirate ❤️

Pirate will be here as long as he is able. I'm sure he will know when it's time.

It has been a week of departures (I got a shock when I saw Byrne's name come up)... I counted seven around the globe; and of course those are only the ones in lights. So many unsung. I continue to send 'upstream' vibes to your Pirate. YAM xx

Thankyou all.
Pirate reckons he will see this year's turn...but not the one in a twelvemonth...who knows.

We all actually live from day to day, so I agree with the doctors that there is no use thinking about it all too deeply. Very best wishes to Pirate and to you.
