Pip left us and travelled to Olam Ba-Ha in 1996 after succumbing to Non-Hodgkins Lymphnoma brought on by an HIV depressed immune system.
Last night a group of approx 30 of us gathered to celebrate his 40th Birthday.
It was an emotional evening but one of joy, celebration, remembrance and fellowship.
I could not HELP but share one of the first pictures of Pip and I.
Enjoy - Pip is next to me on the right and yes, that REALLY is me at 19.
Here are more photos of the event.....
Mazel Tov Pip my darling - you are missed, even though you are always with me.
