Birthday

Robert McLellan Feb 01, 2010

The birthday of James was a very sad occasion for his family and friends. For the first time in 20 years he wasn't there.

His family gathered together and remembered a special and beautiful life over a meal of pesto - James favourite meal.

We visted his gravesite and by coincidence were joined by 8 of his friends from NHSPA: Aki, Dimitri, James H, Jarrah, Jesse, Riley, Steve and Zoe. We sadly paid our respects and experienced our loss whilst looking out over the white crosses of the cemetery to the blue Pacific Ocean. But it was also uplifting because we took the time to reflect and remember James, a man who loved life and lived it to the max. We shared our stories and laughed together about James, the sporting wiz, master sledger, perfec mimic, keen train traveller, good trumpet player and great wit who was always such fun to be with.

'The sprightly wit and lively eye, The engaging smile, The gaiety, That laughed down many a summer sun, And kept us up so 'oft till one'.

Happy Birthday

Memories and Birthday

James Macca Mclellan.
I won't ever forget the years we knew each other at high school. From early beginnings which involved discussing Rugby League, Union and Cricket. Giving our tips on who would win, and which players were terrible at the sports and don't deserve their places. Or in Maths when we used to sit at the back of the class and hit each other on the back with items ranging from plastic and metal rulers to the spine of our maths textbook. In later years we were in the same Chemistry class and every lesson was full of laughs. We would discuss what Mr Perrington was teaching us, come to our answers - which were usually revealed over 45 minutes later as being correct - and dive right into making jokes about everything and anything. Two I won't forget were making jokes about Cricket umpire Billy Bowden playing rugby league, and commentating an imaginary game of rugby league using the names of chemicals from the Periodic Table.
I remember the last day I saw you at school, playing footy at the basketball courts in the morning - it was like any other. Footy, making jokes about each other, scoring ridiculous tries and sledging each other like crazy. Then a few days later I got a phone call from Mike telling me that you were in hospital with leukemia. To say it was a shock is an absolute understatement.
Since the day of your passing, no day has passed where I have not thought of you. I wish things were different.

Happy Birthday Young Friend.
