When David Hookes passed away yesterday, it made me think about the people in my life that have passed on. Unlike my sister, I haven’t had as much experience with the death of friends, which is a good thing in a way. However I have been thinking about one person with whom I was friends in particular.

We weren’t best of friends, but he was one of those people that you meet in life that leave a lifelong impression on a person. He committed suicide just over 2 years ago. Same age as me, but life had treated him alot harsher and his method of dealing with his anger and deep sadness was ultimately to take his own life. He was one of those notorius bouncers who were accused of killing a man at a casino in Sydney, the full story of what happened never made it to the media outlets. My friend dealt with post traumatic stress disorder in the only way he knew how I guess.

I know it’s a slightly depressive post, but the next week or so is going to be a little hard coming up to Anniversary time for Gran.
