It’s been 48 hrs since I got the phone call from Dad to say that you were not longer with us. In all of my 46 years you’ve been there. Quietly and dependably. We don’t talk regularly but I’ve always known you would drop anything if I needed you.I am struggling to imagine the future without you being there in some way.

I promise I’ll look after Mum and Dad. We’re being practical at the moment (as you’d expect knowing us as your do) but don’t imagine for one second that means we don’t miss you and grieve for you.

Rest in peace my darling brother. X
