Exactly one week ago today I had the sad task of attending the funeral of a 21 year old, of saying goodbye to a lovely young man with his whole life ahead of him, and of holding his mother in my arms, feeling her whole body tremble with grief.
I don't ever want to do that again.
Two lives were lost, and three others I believe still hang in the balance, in such a horrific and tragic accident that I feel nauseous every time I think about it. I feel deeply for all the families involved, as well as for the Police and Paramedics who had to deal with such a shocking scene.
Please Mums and Dads, hug your teenagers and young adults and tell them you love them.
RIP
