6. Omg Matt I just spoke to you and we where ment to be catching up. I just seen this post shared by shawn Grant ("Thank you shawn") "I am in shock, I am lost for words I don't have means of transportation witch you no as you was gunna help me. and get me out of this hellhole."I never new where you had gorn all them years ago as a teenager you would get into trouble and I was infactuated. Our parents use to be friends and everyone eventually leaves but you came back I thought you had died along time ago,and would talk about you often like I do with old mate rewa thorougood. "But I GOT THE BEST OF MYSELF SND LISTENED AS I WALKED PAST YOUR OLD HOUSE IN NELSON STREET WONTHAGGI AND LOOKED YOU UP, AND I found you and we had so much to tell each other, AND MADE PLANS."What THE .... happened. I DONT UNDERSTAND . I loved you when I was younger as a girl, so funny the s%&t we use to do as kids. But as a woman and mother and you keeping out of trouble and both struggling we both needed something and what we GOT WAS A SECOND CHANCE AND TOOK TO BLOODY LONG. WE haD got a miracle and we reconnected and talked FOR HRS long into the mornings now your gorn again AND WE MISSED OUR CHANCE AGAIN AND this time, your gorn for good and there's nothing I can do.

7. Hibby its so sad to hear of your passing i was only talking to you days before you disappeared we haven't seen each other in 20years but you will always be a great mate of mine. My first best friend in kindergarten and primary school till I left to Kongwak primary But as soon as we got back to high school we were best mates again nothing changed. Smoking down the bike shed at school, riding our bikes at the bmx track hanging out down the streets smoking and drinking behind Safeway's and in the old red shed behind the train. So many funny and naughty memories what can't be added on this nothing to bad just teens with a heap of weed hahaha we were to high for crime or to hungry from it hahaha. Wish we caught up mate just to shake your hand rest easy mate see you in the next life from Shawn Grant or Shawny Shawno or Granty
