A year ago I had the pleasure to begin a birthday thread for my late friend @messymascot and it was this interaction that allowed me to begin a strong bond, and friendship with him that was cut short when he died of cancer back in December. Today would have been Karl's birthday and I don't want this occasion to go by without remembering his kind soul. Karl loved Everton dearly and this forum so it seems appropriate to remember him today.

"Today would have been your birthday
And though you're no longer here
I couldn't let it just slip by
Not this or any year
I miss you each passing day
And hold you in my heart
Hopefully we will catch up again some day
But until then happy birthday mate
I'll put my tears away for just awhile
And spend a moment remembering you
With thoughts that always make me smile
Happy birthday in loving memory of Karl!"
