Some of you may know that I had some devastating news at the weekend. I opened our front door at 8am on Saturday morning to see a police officer stood there asking to come in... the not so nice kind with the white cap 
I knew immediately that something was wrong and he told me that my brother had been killed in a collision with an HGV at 2.39am that morning... he was 30yrs old last week. Me and my brother weren't ever that close but in recent months, since moving house, we have been getting on really well and he took me into his confidence a lot more. Just as that was getting through to my brain, the officer then told me he was with Marc, not only his best friend, but also our cousin (by marriage). Marc was alive but had serious head injuries. He died from these injuries on Tuesday morning.
We were allowed to see my brother for the first time since the accident yesterday and I can only think that this is why I had to write the following, very long - sorry, poem to my brother. I hope you don't mind me sharing - I never told him how much I loved him and now I just want to tell the world!
