heart In Loving Memory of Alex Kazimir Yorke heart
A Boy who I never met, would have loved too and never will....
My group was laughing in an attic one day, Alex Kazimir Yorke sat on the top step and I was sat beside him resting my head on his shoulder. Morgan was sat on the couch next to James and Oliver Harvey while Sarah (Friend) was sat on James's lap and Marina was sat beside me on the floor. Marina laughed and pointed at Morgan calling him her "b***h" (as in female dog).
Alex's hand shot into the air and he said, "Oh, oh, I wanna be a b***h!"
Sarah laughed and said, "You can't be a dog, and you're a cat"
Then I added, "He can't -be- a cat, I'm a cat. He's... He's just a.. A Kazimir. There you go. Kazimir. Special breed of feline >.<"
We all laughed and agreed that Alex Kazimir York laughed and he to agreed on being a Kazimir animal.
Several weeks later Brit comes to me with a question, "Kat, I'm making a shop on Gaia and I need a name."
Curiously I asked, "What type of store?"
"A feline store" Brit replied.
A smile crossed my face and I responded with, "Kazimir." I never told Brit the real meaning behind it, because at the time it never bothered me. I was dating Alex at the time and thought it was a great idea.
After a while of having the shop open, Brit came to me again with another question, "Where did you think of Kazimir from?"
Sadly I replied, "It's my ex's middle name. It means peacekeeper. Or so I'm told." Unfortunately Alex and me had broken up three day's prior to that and we both still loved each other so much.
On May 28th. There was a terrible accident. Something that I wish I could change. Alex had slept at Oliver's house that night. And they were going to take Ollie's dog Sarah for a walk. I was going away for the long weekend and the day before that my best friend Sarah and I had a fight (Which caused the boy's sleep over). The boys decided to take the dog for a walk along the Blackpool promenade with Ollie's other college friends -who we still only know of four that where there- it was 70 knots winds. Ollie's dad tried to stop them going, but Ollie had never learnt the word no and his dad never learnt how to say it.
At some point in the walk Sarah was let off her lead. The water was violent and crashed against the walls of the prom. Sarah -who still thought she was a puppy when she was really old with arthritis- decided to go to the water. Unfortunately a wave came up at that point and took her into the waters. Ollie and Alex saw her go in (we think) and ran after her along the Prom until they came to a ramp, both boys jumped the gate, with another friend hot on there trails. One of them held the railing as the other tried to reach Sarah. Kyle -One of the other mates- arrived beside them and was stood one step behind them when a massive wave came and knocked the two boys against the wall to pull them into the water.
We have no idea what happened next. Ollie's body was seen in the water or Red bank.... Marina and myself lived just off that road. Alex's body still hadn't shown up. One week full of tears at the name Kazimir, one week full of hate for the water, one week full of severe pain that nothing could kill... Alex was found. I looked to Gaiaonline as my escape of life. Where I could hide and live the life of someone else... Until I remembered the shop. I'd forgotten in the whole time to even look... I looked, and I remembered. Kazimir. The shop that I will forever love because of the connection it holds to my Alex.
Alex was the reason this shop was named. And I'm telling you this because we (Brit and myself) thought you'd all like to pay tribute to the name.
For if there were no Alex in the first place, there would be no Kazimir shop, right?
