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
