Jacques BadenhorstRegistrar - JohanEmail - jjansen_van_nieuwenhuizen@vnet.ibm.com Memorial: Jacques, Or times from Sept. 91 - June '97 were great. Times were hard, but our LOVE made up for what went wrong. I stood by you all this 6 years - me - and you +. Our last 5 weeks together was great. Our love bonded into something very special. You were my Jelly Tot and I was your Astro Pop. Babe, just a thank you for your humour up to the end. I will always miss you and Love you like Astro's. You will continue to live in our GARDEN. Your proteas just opened. BABE, I MISS YOU. Love you lots, just like Astro Pops. Johan van Nieuwenhuizen Johan van Nieuwenhuizen (South Africa) adds: Jacques Badenhorst - 07 July 1966 to 05 June 1997 Babe, although we were together for 6 years, it felt like a life time. I met you when you tested positive, but instead of turning my back on you, I took you into my arms and care and told you that I will be with you doesn't matter what. Well, it wasn't easy at times, but it was the best times I had in my life. When you fell ill the last time, we just opened our hearts to each other and I have never experienced such true love in my life. It's now two weeks after you went on to a better life, and I MISS you so much. All our friends are with me all the time, but I am still alone. The dogs miss you so much. They look out for you every morning and nite. It's hard for me to except that you will not be there no more, but I have the wonderful memories to live on. It's also a great comfort to me that I know that you are in better hands. Babe, I LOVE you so much and I miss you. Johan van Nieuwenhuizen (South Africa)- Johan (S.A.) adds: Babe, this is a little poem I got from one of our friends and she said this is what you would say to me : I HAVE NOT GONE You think I've gone, that I am dead, and that life has lost its will but look around, I am right there, living with you still I watch your tears, I feel your pain - I see the things you do I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul it lives with you. It gives such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do And when you smile o'er bygone days, I smile right with you too. For we;re still one, just you and I, one mind, one soul, one being. Walking foreward into life, though only you are seen. And in the stillness of the night, when the pain it really starts Stretch out a little with your mind, and draw me into your heart. For I am always right there, always by your side For you have been, all my life's days, my joy, my love, my pride. -------------------oOo--------------------- This is the most beautiful poem I have ever read. It gives me hope. Babe, love you lot's like Astro Pops and miss you plenty. Lot's of LOVE and HUGS. Johan Johan (S.A) adds: 03 July 1997 Babe, this is your birthday today and I'm missing you so much. This is the first one apart. It's difficult, but like we use to say "We shall not surrender". Everyone wants to know what's gonna happen to the WINTER party ?, Well, I will have one soon. I wish I could hug you just one more time, hold you and tell you how much I love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Babe. Johan........... Johan adds: 18th July '97. Just a short note to say I am missing you badly and still loves you plenty. Johan. Johan (S.A.) adds: Babe, just another note to say....I MISS YOU!!!!! Cheers Johan (S.A) adds: Babe, I haven't spoken to you in a loing time. I really miss you. I would like to go down to Cape Town on Sunday to put you to final rest as you requested. I will miss your presence in the house though, but it is something that you have requested and I will stick to it. Our celebration day is coming up soon (remember 14th September). It's gonna be hard but it's something I have to go through. At least I have all the wonderful thoughts of us together. They help me a lot to get through bad times. Babe, I miss you......!! Johan Johan (S.A.) adds: Hi Babe, I missed you last nite. I can feel your precense sometimes. I will be going to the coast in September and see your mom. Jelly Tot died of tickbite fever and I am getting a Great Dane. Snuggles will at last have a BIG friend to play with. Live is getting a bit easier, but not there yet!!! It will come in time. Cheers johan Johan (S.A) adds: 15/10/1998 Hi, Just a note to say that I am ready to take you back home (Cape Town) where I will scatter your ashes as you have requested. I do find it very difficult to cope these few days before going down. I will survive this, but in a way I do feel so guilty doing it. I am taking you out my house to your new resting place, but I know it has to be done. I am taking a very good friend with and he will stand with me when I do it. We all miss you stax!!!!
