Fuck. My neighbour died.
Fuck. He was around my age and leaves behind 3 kids and a wife. Fuck.
Recently had an elderly neighbour die, all his belongings turfed onto the street for collection including Narnia books and other long owned sentimental books/VHS. Had to collect it before it got rained on or collected to go to the op shop that was only 200m away.
Jeepers! That's a shock to the system alright.
Yep. Even in her grief she was so kind as to get one of the neighbours she’s closest to come and let us all know the news.
Mrs b is taking it pretty chill but it’s kicked me in the fuckin teeth.
That's terrible. 😔
Yeah. I feel like shit. We didn’t know him all that well but we know her very well and she’s always been super duper kind to the family.
Can’t even imagine what she’s going through.
