Thank you Brad's for posting that (I appreciate it more than I can express) and please thank Julie for sharing. I need to get my eyes checked. This is the second day in a row they have spontaneously leaked.

Certainly an amazing young guy, well beyond his years, thinking back to courage he displayed at the Sika show and his determination to be there inspirational stuff! Then to drive back to Wairoa by himself after. I saw him off from Kinloch, made sure he had everything, asked if he had some water, typical, no bro I'm alright. Got him some water, he had his music going, glad I wasn't a passenger with that shit in my ears! Said ring me if you have any probs well come and get you, and a few hours later get a text, hey mate I'm home. Yep Rushy he still mucks with my emotions, privileged to have known him!:cool:
Maca it could be said that we are just a couple of sentimental old fools but I prefer to think we are human and man enough to admit it.Quote:

He came down one weekend, we went shooting with @Dundee, went for a steel shoot here, @7mmsaum came down we got Toby shooting further than he ever had.
Then another hunt.
He got a txt about midday the following day when we where on the hill, someone was inviting him to a 18th birthday, (female) loaded the car and off he went!
After two big days....he partied all night and woke up in a flax bush somewhere in warioa.
I'm sure he's still smiling about that weekend.

I was thinking about Toby and his family yesterday,he certainly left a mark on us all.
The one thing about Toby is he makes me want to be a better person.
6 months today.
Where's it gone.

I was thinking that yesterday
I miss him...his sense of humour. sometimes sage like commentary...you half expect a post from him from time to time...he made you aware that no matter what, you simply have to make the most of everyday...
I think about him a lot. It's amazing where life's teachers can come from
@BRADS How is his family doing?
Haven't talked to his mum for a couple of weeks but where doing as well as can be expected.Quote:
