And- How old was- Oh, we were 16, 16.
And then only a few years later, he went through that and then his dad was going to go on a holiday just to escape all that and was filling his car with a caravan on the back to go on a trip and drop dead at the Bowsers.
So now my mate's lost his mum and his dad and his two older sisters had already gone on to start their own family and had their own
life going and but my mate dave had his younger sister living with him so the older sister said we'll obviously take take nick and he's like no i can't have her lose her mum her dad and then not live in the house so my mate stepped up at a really young age to become the dad to his little sister wow
But when we had to bury his dad, we'd buried his mum not that long before that.
And I'm like, I mean, how do I help him?
I mean, what can I do to help that world?
I mean, my God, this fume is going to work here.
And then I'm like, oh, I've got to try something.
So when we're going from the church to the cemetery, I just said to a friend, I can't not do it.
He's like, what are you going to do?
I said, I have to make them laugh at one point.
The trip to go and put โ they've just โ I mean, I know where they โ I mean, they're about to put their dad like beside their mum.
It's just โ so I'm like, I've got to do it.
I've got to give them one moment to just find a smile and then they'll get their sad face on when we get back to the cemetery.
So my mate had a van with a sliding side door.
So when the funeral procession was going with the lights on heading to the cemetery โ
In that car was my mate and his three sisters because there's no parents left, right?
So there's not parents to judge this as a bit over the top.
It's just the kids.
