The Reaper Calls

[CINDERS]

We were away up the Northwest for 8 days going to abandoned stations looking at early life in a harsh outback had a ball and learnt some interesting stuff and met a very eccentric person whom had amassed over 20 years from stations an armada of stuff to big to even write about.

However we learned when in mobile range at one point 3 days in our riding buddy had whilst riding at a race track slowly drifted off the track falling off deceased.
He has gone to Perth for autopsy but those of us who knew him realise that it was probably a heart attack, we had some times together now all the emotions of loss come back.
It's bl**dy sad as his wife is battling melanoma cancer now she has lost her main support I mean their children are there but it's not the same as your life partner.

Then today I get a text msg a shooting buddy of 19 years is in the ED as his heart stopped momentarily so he's up and away to Perth getting a pacemaker ! Jezus !!!
This bodes no good for me as it's flooded me with memories when I went down getting RFDS medivaced to Perth from my heart attack.
Then I get to thinking of my older brother, my sister, mum & dad it really has knocked the stuffing out of me and dampened our much looked forward to trip away.

Sorry for the bleat guys but some things trigger stuff..........?
