  • to my big brother

    i had the worst feeling on the day of the quake.
    i texted you thinking you were out filming destruction, all it said was "please text and tell me you're ok".
    I never got your reply and it guts me.
    I cannot stand the fact I will never see you again....
    i was told the building had collapsed but we weren't sure whether it was CTV or CTB bus depot... all i remember thinking was please God, don't let it be CTV..
    but it was and we were all horrified..
    I went to Latimer Sq to wait for news of where you were at the time.
    JB told me you were in the building, and it was the most awful feeling of dread i have ever experienced.
    We didn't always get along in life growing up but I am forever greatful for the time we had become friends.
    Just gutted that we wasted so much time arguing and being enemies.
    Please rest knowing we will always hold you near in our thoughts and hearts and dreams, and we will always be there for Tyler.
    I know you would have been watching over us and so very proudly when we all got up and publically spoke at your service.
    What an AMAZING bunch of friends and colleagues you have, all there for YOU!
    Your final production and everyone was running around after you..
    Andrew Bishop... this was your life.

    Sleep eternally sweetly my wonderful big brother, I could never ask for better.

    Love Always, Anita and Nicole. xxooxxoo
