To a Dear Friend / Christine Bu (Friend)
Dearest Nicky
10 years have gone by since we lost you a great friend that can never be replaced.
I just want to share some thoughts with you because to me you never departed:
A few weeks before your departure to heaven I remember we had the Youth Centre Carnival Party. What fun we had I still remember us all in costume dancing around and having so much fun. We were such a great group of friends.
Do you remember how they used to call you and me CHICKENS because of our surname Buttigieg?? Hehe I used to be offended even though we all gave each other nicknames jokingly.
My last memory of you is this Nick:
It was Thursday 17/02/2000 and as we did every Thursday evening we all met at the Youth Centre for our weekly meeting.
After the meeting you and I played table tennis and even though you were good at the game I managed to beat you.....Haha or you let me win because I am girl :) I really teased you that day because I won.
While playing I remember I lost a bracelet which my grandma had given me and you helped me look for it until you found it and gave it to me. Thank you!!!!
You then walked me home as you didn't want me to walk alone through the 'bandli' in the dark (you were a gentleman for a 14 year old) and probably you arrived home a little later than usual because of me. Sorry. :)
I still remember us saying good night to each other and saying: 'See you on Sunday for mass and youth centre after'.....who could have told me that that was the last time I would have seen you?
Nick you are not here physically it's true and we really miss you but deep down in our hearts we know that you are always by our side.
I think of you often........ My boyfriend loves airplanes and his dream was also to become a pilot just like you but certain circumstances he went through did not allow him to pursue his dream. We go to the airport often to see the planes take off and land and every time we pass by the place that led you to heaven we say a little prayer for you.
I sometimes find myself talking to you as I am sure you know.
I speak to you even when I find myself in certain difficulties I turn to you for help and I feel that you help me as I am sure you do with your other friends. Your mum is right: YOU ARE AN ANGEL.
As an angel of heaven Nick please keep us your friends under your wings and protect us from any evil and harm that the world presents to the youths nowadays.
PLEASE BE OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL NICKY......
Yesterday we celebrated a mass for you on your 10th anniversary in heaven. Thanks to you some of us saw each other again and re-united also to sing during your mass like we used to sing at the 10:30am Sunday mass which was taken care of by us the Attard youths. It was beautiful seeing old friends again and all becaue YOU brought us together again.
And as I close this tribute to you my friend with tears in my eyes I would like to tell you that I love you and you are always in our heart mind thoughts and prayers.
Take care of us and your beautiful family Nick.
Until we meet again my dear friend.
Keep us a place next to you in heaven.
Love you loads
Christine Buttigieg (the other chicken) ;)
