This is a depiction of my lovely, late friend Keith Konopka. I never met him in "real life" but he's the best friend I've ever had.

My life is far less brighter without Keef in my life... He'd been unwell for quite a time, but always seemed to recover to a period of wellness which lasted many months. His last illness hospitalised him but Keef, being Keef popped back up and for a time, was quietly present in the lives of those who loved him. The ones who knew him in reality, and those, like myself who only knew the virtual online version of Keef. We were informed, online by a quick, throwaway comment from a neighbour that nobody knew, that Keef had passed away in hospital. It seemed cruel that the passing of someone so kind and special to us was announced so 'emotionlessly' by the stranger. We're grateful for the stranger letting us know the sad news, yet hurt that the words he used were short and blunt...
