John's cousin Robbie died last night, after coming off his motorbike. He was a really lovely bloke. My heart goes out to his wife and kids. RIP Robbie.
er, I guess I should elaborate, lest I sound shallow. "Ow" was my first reaction. How could it not be? I imagine a bike crash to be quick but painful, so there's Robbie's suffering. Then there's your sense of loss. Then there's the knowledge that other people (wife and kids) who were close and depending on him are also left in pain and with practical issues to deal with like funeral and finances...so even though I don't really know the lot of you, its just pain after pain after pain.
Therefore, 'Ow'. Maybe that's too simple. But it was my reaction in the instant I heard this.
It's another sledgehammer blow from the side - so *ow* is pretty accurate. Thank you for posting - I needed to put something down, however brief, and it is good to know that that was heard, for Robbie's sake.
