Vale Phillip Hughes (1988-2014)
We stopped and stared at the screen, It was so fast, 135km/hr to be exact. One ball and two lives changed forever. That's all it took for the young man to hit the ground. And never wake up. Complete accident, a deadly concoction of factors saw Phillip Hughes battling for his life. A young man with the world at his feet, had ventured overseas to fulfil his dream. And now the world mourns him because it's more than a game. It's grief. We all feel it, the sadness. The abruptness. The tragedy. #getyourbatsout in honour of a young man that was fulfilling his dream. Don't forget Sean Abbott, he needs all the support and empathy. His life was dramatically changed as well. Keep playing, keep safe. Follow your dreams as Phillip Hughes was doing, for life is fleeting and in a moment, it can all change. 63 N/O. (Author note: 29/11/14. My deepest sympathies to the Hughes family, may Phillip rest in peace.)
