Colin sadly could no longer face the world. 17 days after his 18th birthday he took his own life ... He is at peace now .. My precious child has left so many family and friends who loved him so much ... SWEET CHILD OF MINE . Miss you so much ..XXX
Happy Birthday Colin!
I can't believe you have been in Heaven for so long now, I still miss you every day and wonder what our friendship would be like if you were still here. I know that you would be one of the few people that would come out to the Isle of Man to visit me know. You were always the type of person that would want to make sure others were ok, always thinking of everyone else before yourself.
I know that you are watching down on all your family and friends and it's a comfort to know that you are still always with me. I hope that you are happy where you are and that you can still get a giggle out of some of my antics!
I will never forget your kindness and the big heart that you had and I will never stop missing and loving you.
Lots of love,
Lyndsay xx
I think about you a lot, often when i least expect it your face flashes before my eyes and i wish i were 17 again so that i could meet you again and say all the things i didn't before, thinking there'd be another day. I'll never forget how kind you were to me making me feel included despite my awkward nature- you were a generous soul and the world is less for not having you in it.
Miss you. Jen.
Hello Old Friend
So I'm getting a little older now and as I do, I often wonder where you would be if you had stayed. I was barely a teenager when you left and I often looked up to you as a wiser and talented man.
Often, just listening to you Colin, whether you were talking to me or someone else was the best Colin Anderson experience. Ina group of darkly dressed youths, sprung a tie-dye, short wearing ray of mockery to us all. I often wondered if was meant that way, but based on your own sense of humour, I could only assume!
My favourite moments of you include classic one liners such as "His hair looks like the back end of a peacocks arse!"
" I wish I could be..."
"KMFDM were ripped off by Rammstein!"
And you grabbing everyone in the Cathouse, where dancing was not cool in order to get us in arms to jump merrily to whatever death metal happened to be playing.
As I get older, I still find myself in intense situations in which I think of you. All I needed was your laugh to take the serious edge of anything. It's a laugh I miss and wish was still around me now.
I hope that wherever you are that you are happy. You are missed in your time Colin.
X Watching Over X
Where are you
Where can you be?
Now you have gone
It feels like you have left me!
Dont be silly
That could never happen!
For You are watching over
From sky's Up Above
Sending down all your love
In everything that makes me laugh
In every gentle wind that smooths my face
Yes you watch over Angel
Until we meet again
x In our own happy embrace x
Don't Judge Me - by Unknown Author
Don't judge me for how I left this world,
Remember the love I gave,
A lot of grief will follow me
For the decision that I made.
Changes appear in everyone's life
Some good, some bad,
The one I chose for myself
Made everyone very sad.
But in time the memories
will heal the hurt of hearts
And my presence will be felt by all
With an inner peace.
Remember me when the sun is bright
And laughter fills the air
And a moonlit night and a whisper of wind
Will tell you I am there.
Don't look down on my family
Or fill their hearts with blame
For my leaving them without good-byes
Has left them so much pain.
If I could go back in time
I would say a last good-bye
I would tell them to look to tomorrow
And for me, please do not cry.
SweetChild of Mine - I almost felt you were, Colin. You just fitted into our household and family as if you'd always been there. You had a special relationship with wee Indi-Bob-and she'd have followed you to the ends of the earth, if she could've walked fast enough! Such an easy personality as yours is hard to come by and so very sorely missed. You will always hold a special place in all of our hears, Colin. You deserve to be in a better place now. Enjoy rocking the heavens and knock the socks off the angels! Let me in too when I come knock, knock, knocking on Heaven's door. I'll likely have a few more wrinkles, but you'll hopefully still recognise me....love to you, 'borrowed son.'
Alright man.
Well, 6 years and I still have no idea what to say. For the time that we got to hang out, you were the funniest, most energetic guy I knew. You walked faster than anyone ever, and to this day, I don't think I've met anyone who would have a chance of keeping up with you.
You couldn't have given less of a crap about what other people thought, and most of the time it seemed like the more contrary an idea was, the better it was (exhibit A:taking a bee for a walk) which was fantastic.
Every time you pop into my head, you're either dipping a bit of lime into some lemonade and lime, laughing, or pulling devil horns (and a cheesey grin) and saying ten-f*ckin-points. Mum didn't like it, but it was still funny as hell.
Oh, and when we went to see the Damned, and Nat got proper embarrassed cos we were dancin about pulling devil horns. "devil horns? at a punk gig?" Top notch.
You affected everyone who met you in the best of ways, and I doubt anyone who met you even for a second will forget you.
Best of all, you made my sis happy, and that was a tough task.
You're a rare sort, Colin. I'm forever grateful that I got to know you.
Party hard man! \m/
summer 2001
alright chief!
although i never really go the chance to know you as well as some of our other friends, i was still very sad to hear the news of what happened.
i will always remember the summer of 2001 when i came back to town from uni and we all spent our days floating about town and hanging out just for the sake of getting out. you always used to laugh and call me a hippy because of a certain past time of mine, but now you are with the biggest hippy of them all.... the Big Man upstairs. I hope you're ripping him as much as you did me!!
i remember the day when me, you, gary, and some of the guys found ourselves on the wrong end of some trouble and were chased about town by an angry group of neds all day and you actually found the whole situation funny and were laughing when the rest of us were getting nervous. i still tell my friends that story to this day.
i moved back to edinburgh shortly after and never really came back to town again so lost touch with many people, but that summer was one of the best summers i have ever had, and you were an equal part with everyone else who made it so awesome and i thank you for it.
Im sad that you decided to move on the way you did and couldnt and still cant belive that someone i always saw smiling and happy was so troubled inside.
i hope youre at peace now dude and partying it up with the Big Man.
luv fae sprought
