Dios De La Muertos...or something like that ;)
God evening to everyone it may concerne ;)
So what we in Sweden call All Helgona afton,was celebrated yesterday. Not to be confused with Halloween,common misstake...
This holiday is to remind us of absent friends and honour theire memory by lightning candles on theire graves and if you walk pass a graveyard it looks very beautiful with all the lights flickering in the gusts of wind.
For me this meens celebrating the memory of my father that passed away back in 1999,and even if that´s almost 13 years ago I can´t remeber a single day gone by that I haven´t thought of him in some kind of way,sometimes with tears but mostly with laughter and big smile,since he was on crazy old fart :D And all of you who met him might be sitting and nodding your head right now thinking "DAMN RIGHT ABOUT THAT!!!"... And yes,he was crazy in one way but that was also one of his biggest strengths as an high school teacher. He got most of the kids to listening to him and as I understands it,he was the one that they respected the most.
Maybe because he gave you and showed you the respect you earned....maybe because he really seemed to know what he was talking about (mostly at least...at home is an entierly differnet story..I meen...as a teenager I couldn´t admit that my father was right sometimes ;)....) or maybe he just spooked the kids language...
But of course,he wasen´t easy to deal with all the time... everyone has their ups and downs so,not much more then that... He was no saint,but yet again who is and who was...even Jesus hung out with prostitutes ;)
He was no saint...he wasen´t perfect...had a couple of drinks to many sometimes...had bad coffe breath...smoked to much...tried to quit to much...smelled funny sometimes...was very wrong sometimes...and of course right as well...he had a temper,oh yes...he had dreams...he had broken dreams...he was a jackass,a prick and a complete bastard occationally... And my fucking god I miss him!! And love him!! But life goes on,and I really wish that some of you out there in my life got the chance to see him...but you can´t have it all ;)
But,my dear father...where ever you may be...try not to cause to much trouble ;) But yet agan...i don´t think the Holy bouncer at the Heavenly gate would let him in... and the Downstairs Pub would most likely be begging on their knees by now for him to leave :D
Probably he´s sitting somewhere in the middel,chuckling and giggling like a little schoolgirl for pissing some of them off :D that´s my dad for you ;)

Take care people and don´t forget to be happy for the little you have instead for complaining over all that you don´t have!!
Ta-Ta! :)
