It’s hard to describe how I felt when my friend Megz called and told me Craig Folbigg had passed away.
Craig was Kathleen’s Folbigg’s ex husband. I never met him and I often wished Kath hadn’t either.
I think Kath’s lawyer Rhanee summed it up well when she said: “There were only two people on this earth who knew what it felt like to lose Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura. My condolences go to the loved ones Craig leaves behind.”
Craig had a heart attack over the weekend and died on Monday. He was also being treated for cancer, but the details are sketchy. He was only a couple of years older than me.
His death comes just two months after Kath’s convictions of three counts of murder, one count of manslaughter and one count of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm, were overturned in the Court of Criminal Appeal.
Until the end, Craig maintained his belief that Kath was guilty and he refused to provide his DNA to allow scientists to explore whether genetic issues caused their deaths.
That confounded me.
Why wouldn’t you want to KNOW?
The situation is so terribly sad on so many fronts.
Despite everything she went through and the terrible fact Craig didn’t stand by her, she loved him long ago.
You can see the adoration in Kath’s eyes on the day they married (pictured main).
It must be confronting to deal with the fact he is gone with so many questions, unresolved issues and pleas left unanswered.
It is a reminder that you never know what your future holds or how long you have on this earth.
Make each day meaningful.
Be kind.
And always keep your mind and heart open.
