a New Year

New Year

the first we didn't drunkcallaugh.

I slept through it.

The best option.

I feel you here with me, today more than ever.

Willow has roused in her sleep, she is growing up into a little girl and I see time passing in her beautiful face every day.

With you, time seems still.

We two,

wrapped up in the shadows,

trying to unravel the past

and just when we start to find clarity

the film runs out.

I sit in the dark.

A year is as clear as this moment.

I wish that I knew you knew how much you were loved.

any way .

Happy New Year lil sis

Hope this gets to you in the wild blue beynd

Adam Tikly to Demian

It's unreal Demian. I'm so sad and gutted, but for you it must be heartbreaking. I'm feeling or you.

Marc Kremers to Demian

My thoughts are with you dude. She loved you dearly. Be strong.

I was trying to think of something special to say but I feel sick to my stomach and am in shock!!! This type of thing freaks me out but don't be fooled my friend it happens across the globe. Yes here in London I lost one of my clients to a road traffic accident he was sitting in the back seat and everyone except his uncle who was driving died. I went to the funeral he was only 23. Similar story they were hit by another car. Please people be extra careful on the roads.
Love and peace
R.I.P Stacey
I saw her at a random party in London we only spoke for a short amount of time. Hope your soul is soaring to new heights...

So miff.
To be honest looking through these photos feels the same.
It is so strange to me, because we where very close but I had not actually seen her in maybe 5 years. All just IM and email. And now that has stopped, but if feels so distant and removed.
So so strange.

Joburg - A World Class "African" City

Posted by Steven Brimelow

http://www.facebook.com/notes/steven-brimelow/joburg-a-world-class-african-city/330197952741

My friend Stacey Lee Wilkinson died in a car accident on Friday night. According to the scant information through one friend and the other, the car she was traveling in was hit by a Minibus taxi at the intersection of Barry Hertzog and Empire Roads.

I drove through that intersection on my way back home tonight. It's 2km's from my house. There's a lot of construction going on for the Rea Vaya bus rapid transit system which they're trying to get ready for the 2010 World Cup.

It's a major intersection in Johannesburg, well known by everyone, yet for the last 6 months or so, because of construction, the traffic lights have been out of order.

During daylight hours the intersection is manned by private pointsmen, from a South African insurance company, not by Johannesburg municipal workers, a private insurance company. At night it's deserted and dark. There are no warnings about the lights being out of order.

When I drove through the intersection tonight, coming back from spending a day filming in the poverty of Katlehong, a black township in the East of Joburg, with my colleagues from Tokyo, we saw the flattened pole where the accident occurred, and the broken glass from an accident that killed my friend. My colleagues were shocked that such a thing could have happened, that such a major intersection could be left so unsafe. And they asked me what kind of recourse the family have, because clearly this was unbelievable

I thought about the monthly utility and rates bills I get from the town council, bills that cost about the same as minimum wage here in SA, which most residents in Katlehong would be unable to pay. On the top left corner is the Joburg Logo, and the catchphrase - "Joburg a world class African city."

I thought about the lawlessness of taxi's in this country, I thought about how close to my house Stacey had been when she was killed, and how we'd missed each other in London and not hooked up since she came back to SA, hadn't seen each other for about 6 years, yet here 2 k's from my house, she'd died a death that in a world class city, under the same cirumstances, would really never have been.

And I felt bitter and sad and caustic about this, I still do. Every five minutes I see Stacey in my mind. Throughout the nineties and early 2000's in my circle of friends, she was always there. I guess I'm just coming to terms with everything, and I know I'm bitter, but one thing's for sure, Johannesburg, by world class, is just another African City.

And it makes me sad, because this is the country I love, the continent I treasure and the city I come home to. But it's a sad and unforgiving place.

What's done is done, and bitching won't bring her back, but I feel so horribly numb.

This is one of the songs from Stacey's favorites on iLike on Facebook.
