Young Jigme

Here are a few memories of mine....

The many times Jigme made funny faces. Grimaces, I
never imagined possible. It was hilarious when he
pulled a face and changed his voice to suit it.

When the idea came to Jigme to experiment with the
water in the tiny, but deep, dipping pool on our roof
by motivating us to go around and around and around
in that tiny pool, and ever faster, just to create a
current that would move us, when we stopped, a few
centimeters further than the one we created before.
This naturally escalated into us becoming the creators
of waves and storms, of course.

When Jigme came over to play Zelda/ Mario Bros. Many a
time with new tricks and secrets... god knows how he
got hold of them!

Jigme taking a buzz out of pretending to be Freddy
Krueger holding his hand up and moving his fingers, as
if he really wore that metal-clawed glove, whilst topping
it by muttering, 'Come to Freddy!'

Jigme telling me the whole story of the pet cemetary
so vividly that it wasn't even scary when I first
watched it! Same goes for Freddy Krueger Nightmare on
Elm street! He was quite a storyteller.

Up in the ford, whilst playing sardines, Jigme was
always the most difficult to find and it was always a
challenge to find the others before he did.

Jigme singing 'Coz I am fat, I am fat, you know
it....' by "Weird Al" Yankovic, whilst doing the moon
walk.

I surely cherish the times spent with Jigme - he was
truely inspiring and astonishing in all his ways.
