John Melia

This morning, I heard the very sad news that John had passed away. My sincerest condolences to all the family. Aonghus

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Dad spent a while yesterday reminiscing on the craic he had with John in the 60s. A previously unheard of story of camping in the south of France, visiting Andorra and driving to Sitges, John apparently slept well during the stormy nights in the tent. Love to all the Melias what a great guy John was.
