I mentioned the other day that I knew one of the boys that was murdered in Sydney. It was Luke Davies.

I had only known him for a couple of years, since his cabin crew training here in Melbourne, so I am not close enough to his friends or family to really be connected to their community in mourning.

But in my own way I just want the universe to know that each and every word about how he was a beautiful soul are true.

This is a fate that I am still failing to comprehend. My heart aches for his family and close friends. I will dearly miss him.

Just one more big bear hug would have been nice, hey fella?
