Everyone on here made the noise a strange mixture of keyboard strangers for what it is, we may not always agree we may have a different opinions but we also have the laughs ,the memories and we all felt the loss of a fella we never met but in a way knew him so well ,his gift to little liliana melted alot of hearts and brought a few tears of joy to even us grumpy fekrs ,,,
mon the beau also sadly missed
I was doing 'ok' until I read this
Kelly ya F@kr (in the good way) that got me 'right in the feels'
Michael and I were the same age, and had been through and experienced, a lot of the same things
We clicked right from the start, and what a laugh we'd have with the stories, as his nighttime, was my daytime
I sent Michael a Christmas card a couple of years ago, and put in a photo of our Beau, he sent me a message saying how much he treasured our big goofy dug's photo
Then he asked me for our address, to 'send a Christmas card'...crafty auld bugger...a few weeks later on, package arrives and it's addressed to my Granddaughter...I called my daughter, they came over (I had no idea what it could be)
I admit, a few tears flowed when Liliana opened it and she was over the moon with glee
I was truly gobsmacked, what a gesture from a 'stranger' who wasn't a stranger
A measure of the man, for sure
I felt that my family, was his family in a sense, and we would regale each other with tales from our teenage years in Scotland
If ever, anyone embodied the spirit of the noise, it was oor Michael, and we are fortunate, to have known oor Michael
We will meet again and him & I, will walk Beau together
For those who are curious as to who Beau was...here's our Bhoy, as Stevie nicknamed him, the noise mascot ;-)
And here's our girl, loving her Celtic strip
I'm glad I found the noise and have got know most if not all of you
We won't always agree, but we are united in our love of Glasgow Celtic FC
And if anyone has a problem with that...well...DILLIGAF ?
