[Note sent today to friends who know me well and probably deserve better...]
Very quickly guys, a very (very) dear friend of mine, Phillippa died suddenly yesterday morning from a brain aneurisym. The shock is that her mum suffered a similar thing (but came out ok) around 7 months ago and she was riding her horse in a competition only 6-7 hours prior.
Phillippa was an amazing, vibrant and pivotal part of my life when I was in my formative years. She is the first girl I really recognised as ‘a girl’ and I’m going to miss the heck out of her.
As such, it’s entirely possible that I’ll be far worse this next couple of weeks (ie if you think I’m bad before yesterday, you haven’t seen me when grief sets in). I will try to keep contact at a minimal because I do genuinely know that I’m going to be a PITA/workaholic while I get my head through this.
Thankfully I’m holidays at the end of this week, and my intention was to do/say/see nothing/nobody when I was at Tangalooma, now I just have something extra on my plate to process when I do get there.
Sorry if I snap anyone’s head off in the meantime.
