My brother Mark

As today is Wednesday the 7 August 2024.

For many years, every Wednesday morning I would talk to my brother Mark, better known Lloyd.

These days I cannot talk to him anymore.

On this day in 2017, which was a Monday, finally there was a phone call from his best mate to say that he had final passed away.

Almost a week before that, his mate rang me and said that Lloyd, was in a major car accident near where he worked.

I organised a flight from Sydney to Perth to see him in a hospital bed with tubes, all over him.

That was hard to see.

I stayed until Sunday, there was need to be home, away from the bitterness and bitching from his wife and son.

So today I miss him more than most other days, excepted his birthday which is fifteen days before mine.

I still miss the talks, probably full of bullshit for the most, especially after our parents passed away.

I miss and love you, Lloyd.

A hell of a lot.

RIP
