It must be an awful time for you every year dear Carmen, but you do have photos and memories of your brother. I know how you feel as I lost my sister, Janet, in a motorcycle accident a few years ago. It’s awful as it is instant with no warning or preparation. Big hug. Ralph ❤ xx

Thank you dear Ralph! Not a day goes by without me thinking of Johnny, but his birthday is a special time. Sorry to hear about your sister. How old was she? It’s never easy to lose someone we love, whether it’s the shock of a tragic accident or a sickness where we have to watch someone suffer. Hugs.

You must miss him very much my friend.
Because the accident was so unusual it made the headlines in the local newspaper and was on the UK national TV.

Thanks so much dear Melinda! He was a popular guy at school. I was at our school reunion a few years ago and it truly warmed my heart to hear the wonderful things people shared with me about Johnny. I hope to find this girl/lady. It was my cousin who suggested that I try posting the photo on social media.

Like every year, a magnificent and tender memory of your dear brother. Each year this moment is one of the most exciting, because it is evident the affection you felt and the pain that caused you, and causes you, his absence. The photos are tender and endearing, how pretty you were when you were little, almost as beautiful as now! I wish you have a nice day today, despite the sadness you feel, I’m sure. I shared your tweet, of course. A kiss.
