(((hugs))) mummy I will remember Stephen when i go to church tonight. I lost a very good in a car accident twenty years ago in August. I read it in a newspaper as i was on holiday. I couldnt attend the funeral due to it being a long way but remembered him in the church where i was living at the time.

Thank you, i know its no where near the same as losing a parent/child/sibling but 6 years on, he is still my best friend, i still love him and it still hurts as much as the day i got the call to say he had died.
Everyone told me to get a grip, it wasnt like he was my brother etc, i'll get over it, but i dont think i ever will.

I so wanted him to meet my children, and my (now) partner and see me get married.

This is the text message i got the night before he got killed i have it stored on my computer, we (me and exp)
went to his new house he had moved into 2 weeks previous with his gf of 3 yrs
"Thank u 4 the presents, they were very lovely. 'Gf' loved the wedding fund money box..dont give her ideas! Also thanks for a brilliant night, u r the bestest friend i could ever ask for and u will always be my no1 girl. i cant w8 to c u walk down that aisle and i will be the proudest man bcause u are so special to me. i love u very much and me and gf will see you sunday'

He died the next morning Sad

it was very rare of him to be so soppy and sentimental.
i read the message every few days to remind me how awesome he was.

he was just awesome. there are no other words.
I wanted to send his parents something, just a little card at xmas, as they do know me but for obvious reasons havent seen me for a while.
Do you think they would be upset/offended?

I just want them to know that i still remember him all the time and he is still and always will be my best friend and that i hope that they and his 2 sisters are ok
I know i would be touched if my dd friend done this for me

I think a card would be lovely. They may feel that others have moved on and perhaps don't grieve as they do any more - so to know that you are going through something like them would surely be a comfort.
