"....knew it was a sin to lock them up..."

[raven]

Apparently the LJ servers are screwed. I don't know if I'm going to be able to post this...

Anyway... Pedar has been bugging me tonight to print off some of the screenplay of the Shawshank Redemption. I asked him which part, he told me, and I printed it off and gave it to him, thinking he wanted it to read again and there was no need to get so stressed about it.
So I gave it to him. And came back ten minutes later just to check it was okay.

He started to tell me about John Hewitt's memorial service. John was one of Pedar's best friends as well as being the doctor who delivered me into this world.
He died several months ago from cancer. I remember the funeral for him - it happened while Pedar was out of the country and he regretted not being able to go very very much.

But the memorial service is still to come, and Pedar is going to deliver the eulogy. He was reading the last few lines of the screenplay as I came in.

"... and the part of you that knew it was a sin to lock them up rejoices. Some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright.

I guess I just miss my friend."
