Not sure what to say really...
I found out that my aunt in Australia's neighbour Graeme passed away from cancer recently. I never did think Graeme even suffered from cancer, he never looked like he was sick, in pain or suffering. He was always so happy, waving over the fence to me whenever I was over at my aunt's.
I remember the one time I stupidly locked myself out of the house, I went over and asked Graeme for a ladder. He graciously came over with his ladder and held if for me while I climbed up onto the patio to get back into the house. That was the most unglam moment I had with him, seeing at the time I was wearing a mini skirt. Gawd.
He was such a fun guy to chat to, and his wife was such a lovely woman. The saddest thing is that 6 years ago, they had lost their youngest child to cancer as well. He was only 13 at the time. Their family doesn't deserve anymore pain and suffering, now all that's left is a mother and daughter.
Sometimes I wonder why God takes away all the good people away from this earth. The only consolation I have now, is that Graeme is no longer suffering and that he is with his son in heaven now.
This is for you Graeme. Even though I didn't know you as well as the rest of the neighbourhood, you'll always be remembered.
