My brother was killed early hours of this morning. Dont know too many details as an investigation has been opened only that he would have died almost instantly and he's unmarked.
I feel so guilty i wasnt there for him when he needed me (always been like that with each other)I woke up with a start about that time and knew this morning that something was very wrong. Im going to mortuary later to see him, im dreading it as its going to make it seam more real but i have to do it for him id never forgive myself if i didnt. Atm it doesnt seam real its all just abad dream. RIP bro love you loads

oh f*ck shell - I don't know what to say. I saw this thread title yesterday but didn't click on it. Just seen on your FB profile about it.

I know I've been shite, but I'm still here if you want to talk/scream/come over.

Many hugs. Many prayers. xx

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Been to lay flowers where it happened. So surreal got the markings on the road etc. Flowers are at the roadside. A bunch from db, my parents myself and dp and some from ds. Left cards with them too. Mum and dad printed a photo of him of and have attached them to their flowers with a note. The police have now realised his name which should make it seam more real but it only has the opposite effect. Messages of support from our friends and his have been flooding in today. Just had one on my FB from a mutual mate saying he was a great bloke and will surely be missed. My heart literally aches. He was 18 months my junior and we were always so close growing up. My younger bros and i were like the 3 muskateers, always there when one needed the other nd i werent there for him in his hour of need.

I'll still up late every night if you want to talk later at night, and after tomorrow (exam and leapfrog) will be around as well if you want.
