I tried to get home in time for your send off today, Lil. You know why I couldn’t and that’s all that matters to me. I’ll never forget young Lira. One time in particular. Not long after I moved from Sydney and meeting your family for the first time. Sent to your room but so defiant, you jump out your window, unwilling to be contained. I watched, confused and unable to digest what was happening when I saw your head run past another window heading towards the street haha no one could stop you. You were gonna do what you were gonna do. And… that, you did. An older Lira reached out to me as I was preparing to leave with the Army. Sat on Mum and Dad’s front lawn in Worrigee and told me how she wanted to join the Navy. I was so passionate about it. I thought you would’ve been a great Seaman (yeah, you laugh now but that’s what you would’ve been haha). I didn’t know if you were serious or you were just stopping to yarn but I stopped to chat. And that chat lives rent free in my memory. I leave Nowra and years later, I’m back for a bit of time. Me, you, Leesh, Jen… I don’t even remember the places we went or what we did but you were still struggle free. Every night out was a good night out. Even Jen was trouble free! Me… me too. I leave and come back again. By now, your personal torment had begun. Your personal struggles, broke my heart. I didn’t know I’d walk in your shoes one day. I could go on with so many great memories but, I’m not sure if I have a character limit lol But yeah… We only spoke weeks ago. It’s like I haven’t processed it yet but, I’m broken like that. You’ll see. Talk to me sometime though. I’m telling you sista, I’m capable of hearing when I can tap in. Still learning but, try with me. One last thing - You owe me $10. I lied when I said I didn’t have $50. I was worried it wasn’t really for fuel. Looking back, I believe it was. But lucky I didn’t send the fitty because who knew you’d never pay it back haha Until next time, my friend. Never above you, never below you, always was and always will be… right beside you.

I wrote a poem for you.. I hope you like it Allira. Another day tainted by the loss of a beautiful soul - a golden heart, I have so much that I wish I could say but my mind is racing and I don’t know where to start. You went through so much in your not so long life, always battling through yet you managed to keep that smile. Always laughing and joking around, you laugh was in infectious - i’ll never forget that sound. You just wanted to make people happy around you, you didn’t want people to hurt or to be left feeling blue. In a chaotic world you brought so much light, like a star in the night you shon so bright. I’m gonna miss you just like I know many others will too, a town left in mourning due to the loss of you. I know you wouldn’t want us to be sad and cry, but my heart hurts at the thought of saying goodbye. So goodbye is something I refuse to say, instead i’ll see you when it’s my time - you can light the way. Make sure you keep watch over your family - especially your baby girl, in this cruel harsh world Briah was your pearl. I will always cherish the memories I had the pleasure to share with you, your warmth i’ll always remember - I hope you know that this is true. Life was a battle - but you always made it through, now it’s time to rest easy - sit back and crack a brew. Now let your spirit guide you for it will know the way, i’ll keep you in my thoughts tonight as I get down to pray.
