10 years ago today, one of the brightest stars in the firmament dimmed and went out. Countless adventures have come and gone since then, for all the folk you loved... and yet memories of that day are etched as clearly as this morning. The uniquely 'you-shaped' hole left in the sky is still visible if folk pause to look for it, and your absence at those times looms as large as once did your presence. There are times when I think you are an arse for leaving, because - despite surging extremism, the advent of sexting, and the appalling rise of Tony Abbott - mostly you've missed out on so much good in the world. And you've missed out on the chance to keep making new stories, to be making a difference, in all ways big and small.And that's what's so infuriating to me about you being gone. You bugger.
