RIP Bernie Currall

Two years ago today, a brave woman lost her battle with surviving survival.

For my dear patient and friend,

I am sorry the retrieval failed you.
I am sorry we ditched into the ocean and changed the course of your short life.

I am ashamed of the treatment by the Aviation agencies involved.
No matter how many facts that have been presented about the preventability of this crash, all have been brushed aside, covered up in the name of accountability.

I am sorry that the Honourable ones that we are to trust and confide in, turned their back on us and contributed to your struggle, rather than support you.
I am sorry that the lawmakers that should have protected you, did the exact opposite and denied your right to psychological treatment.

I am sorry They Never said Sorry.

Could have been different in so many ways, on so many levels IF the scramble to cover up was trumped by honesty and integrity.
We still wait for this day to come.

Will always remember my ocean pal, Bernie.
A kind, warm, funny as ever, brave friend.
Missed with all my heart
