Good- Bye SAMUI! Part 1.

It was the early morning, when Alex went to pick up taxi. It still was kind of dark on the island,but even darker was the feeling inside of the sister and the brother hearts. This time the game really was as a lotto.
Can she make home with no money to pay for over weight of her stuff,guitars, computers, bags?

After arrived to Samui small airport, she still had a mix feelings "should I stay or should I go" she was scared to go to Bangkok where she had a nightmare a few weeks ago.

The same lady, a very nice local lady,who worked at the airport recognized them and smiled.
Overweight for all stuff was around $33, and she was trying to wave fees saying maybe you can take something out,so the payment will be lower. The Artist took some studio parts off and some other heavy things from the bag and gave it to Alex. It worked, the weight was much less. The lady seemed like understood the situation and did her best to help out. After everything was taken care off Alex started to walk her sister to get to custom, holding the stuff in his hands what gave a bit of overweight. She was holding guitars.
It was the time to say good-buy to Samui, and Alex. The time was ticking and just a few minutes were left,before the plane take off.

The Artist gave a hug to her brother, and put her bags and guitars to custom check in.
- Oh you forget to put this thing for check in - the custom guy said and showed on the studio part Alex was holding. Alex wanted to say something,but our Artist said:
-Oh yes, thank you, and took that important recording studio piece from the hands of her brother.

Alex looked at her sister with sad eyes...but got the point.
This time these people there were for them.

When He is Gone...

Viki called Ian's daughter, and gave her condolences about what has happened.
She also spoke to Ian's younger daughter she knew, and met many times before, and in a few days she would know about Ian's last take off.

A few days later, the day and the time was set for May 30th of 2006, in the House of Blues. The family was thinking to make the funeral normal, but Ian wouldn't like it.... That's why it was the House of Blues on Sunset Blvd,CA.

........................

The House of Blues was full of people,the all family members friends, funs, musicians.
Viki and her child were sitting on the first row, and all the procedure was very painful. The movie about Ian's life and the songs of artist's he brought to US and made a Rock stars from them were played. The speeches of people who worked with Ian were interesting, and people cried, people who has a big status in the Music Business cried.... Cortney Cox sent her letter too,where she admit that Ian was her true love a time ago and he had a great heart... yes he did... The Golden Heart.
There were a lot of funny and strange stories about the Music agent Ian Copeland, but for Vikki it was the most personal, because he was her love and her lover for 7 years. Not too many people knew about their relationship, it was a very personal for many reason. They didn't need anyone to know, because they wanted to escape from the whole world, making their own, simple, but true world.

..........................

Viki was driving back to Vegas, and all the thoughts were back in time, and to the strangest and warmest relationship she ever had. She was thinking about mistakes were made and was sad, she was thinking about strongest and a goofy moments, she smiled. The mood was very jumpy, but tears just won't stop falling.
She was trying do not fall into hysteric only because of her child,who had a heart break of loosing Ian, and was sleeping in the back seat of the car.

Long day...a very long day... which turns into one year of nightmare.

When He is Gone...

Next day she called and talked to Ian's daughter, while Ian was sleeping.
It wasn't the same daughter of his, it was the girl she never met before, Chandra lived in Australia, and came in to the US only because Ian got very sick.
She said that he is not doing alright, and every day it is getting worse and worse.

.... In a week or so all visitations were closed, and only family members were allowed into the house.

Chandra's voice has been change in a few days later. She was very tired, because she was the one who took care about her dad mostly of time.
Vikki also was talking to Joules almost every day, who was the manager of a Backstage Cafe, and the friend whom Ian brought from England. Nothing sounds good.
- I can't come to visit Ian anymore... and I am running the Backstage...Joules sounded upset.
- I know, Viki said - I was talking to his daughter...
Viki couldn't do nothing about this situation, and just kept in touch on the phone every single day with a few people who was there for Ian.

She was crying after every conversation with Chandra, and the girl in L.A.,the girl she never met before became the dearest, and one from the closest people in the world, she was her connection to Ian and she was taking care about the man she loved.
...............

The world stops, when Viki's child found,while doing research on Google
- Mom!!! - Ian died !!!
- What ? Viki didn't believe her ears and started to read the news.
Cold sweat went trough her body.

In a second she grabbed the phone and started to call Joules, he answered.
- Joules.... how is Ian?
It was a short pause
- He is dead...
- What ?
He repeated
- He is dead..
- When?
- Just a few hours ago.
The world was breaking apart, though the brain still didn't catch the fact.

The conversation wasn't too long, because no one has no words...
Ian Copeland... left this physical world, his friends, the Backstage Cafe and his loved once forever, or...
