R.I.P.







On Thursday 29th July at 1.30am my beautiful cousin Peter died. He was also my god son. He was 33 years old, had just built a beautiful new home with his fiance, bought a new puppy and was expecting his first child on Valentine's Day next year.

Many of you will already know this via Facebook but I had to write it here. My sister didn't think I should blog about it, but I need to. I've been putting it off but if I don't do it now, I simply can't blog about anything else. It would all be a lie if I didn't include his death, as part of my life.

So he died. It was unexpected, senseless and a waste of a beautiful soul. Our family will be broken without him. His mum and my mum are sisters. We are all very close. It's been hard.

The funeral was the Friday a week after his death (about 300 people attended), and this morning my aunt, his fiance, his brother and my sister, scattered his ashes in the river at a memorial park near where his mother lives.

There's so much I can say about Peter, so many things that make it all the more tragic but, it doesn't matter, because...he's gone.

RIP Beautiful Boy.

EDIT - oh and his favourite colour was purple....

I'm so sorry, Frankie.

For what it's worth, I think blogging about things that are important to you helps you deal with them.

Hey darl,

I'm really sorry for the loss of a beautiful spirit. This is truly a beautiful post.

I hope that in time, the pain of missing him becomes remotely bearable.

I think he would've liked it to know how many people came to say Farewell not goodbye! Keep those fond memories close to your heart and always remember what he brought into your life! RIP Peter!
