Alix is dead

[laura_seabrook]

Kevin just found out that Alix next door died three weeks ago. This explains why I hadn't seen him around much. His wife, Anna, died last year (though I saw her ghost for months afterwards) so they are both gone now.

I don't know what will happen to the house and block. Earlier this year they cleared the back block and it looked like it was going to be developed, and then, nothing. But with Alix gone I expect that things will change.

Until new neighbours moved in the other side a month ago, I haven't seen much of anyone either side, other than clearing and cleaning up. It's been a bit of a vacuum. I haven't done any repairs to the fence on Alix's side because I didn't know what was going to happen. Why fix a fence if it's going to be knocked down the following week?

Alix and I had our disagreements (mostly he would tell me to chop down my trees) but I will miss him.

it is always sad when we lose someone-even if they werent your best friend.I can relate to loss as I have lost 4 good friends,one of them a best friend in the last 2 years so it has been a sad time for me in that respect.I wish I had the right words to say to you,but all I can do is offer support and tell you how much I think you are a very cool person...also,thank you for your uplifting comments on my journal,they help,belive me!

-peace,love&happiness from the other side of the world!
