Hello bro,

Hope you're keeping well mate, man I miss you so much.

I've not been up to a great deal just working, fishing and messing round really, not sure what I do to fill my time really. Popped over dads the other day to clean the car it was freezing, minus 1.5 degrees.

Nan is well and I bet you won't belive this but she's off to Lillians for a couple of weeks soon! I'll nip over the bungalow to make sure all okay. Me, Dad, Pitcher and Mark are off to the Lakes in April, just for 3 days - I've booked us in a hostel (I'll have your photo with me). Remember wild camping in Wales when we shared a tent with Pitcher and you wanted to cook packets of noodles, man that was funny.

I'll nip over mum's this weekend to use the computer and show her and Terry photo's of holidays. Me and Tina are going to Barcelona in a few weeks, just for a couple of days.

Also I've got Thursday off this week so will be taking nan to see Colin the Smoke and also pop to an aquatic shop, boring I know for you - still gets nan out and about.

The boys are all okay, don't see them that often as we all seem to busy doing bits and pieces. Hoping to see Steve tomorrow night!

I had a little cry the other day in the car when I listened to some hardcore stuff, mega bass but it made me upset. I keep thinking about millions of things, rave, parties, travels, cars, motobikes, arguements, climbing, holidays and all the things we used to get up to.

I miss you so much Jim and I hope you are with me always. I long to be with you again and know that one day you can say to me 'take it easy geezer'.

All my love from your brother Tom ;-)

Till I arrive rest easy with grazzo. x

Hi Bro,

How are ya geezer?

Been a while fella. Please don't think bro that as I'm not on here that often that I'm not thinking about you....you are with me all the time. Whilst on holiday I lay thinking about you, when I'm running, at work and just in daily life.

Me and Tina went to Mexico for 2 weeks, lovely country, terrific people and awesome sights. The flight home was a right pain, turbulence... remember the flight to Thailand you nearly pulled the seat rest off because of turbulence.

Met up with the boys last week for a pint, dad came along - had your picture with me. I don't see the girls and Jackie that much now but they have their own lives and I'm pleased they are happy. Mum and dad are so so, but none of us will the same again.

Christmas and life in general is not the same as the good old days...I so wish it was, family christmas, and always something going on. Sitting round the burner with the boys at dads, you on the guitar! Nans and dads seems so empty now....lifeless.

Me and dad went to Ranworth Christmas morning, put you and grandad a note in the broad and we had a stella each. We poured some in so you could both have a drop to drink.

The old bill have clamped down on the raves now....good job we went to them when we did.

Well thats all bro, you take care and visit me anytime you like. I was proud to have you as my brother even though I never told you that.

All my love Jim - rest in peace my friend and keep an eye out for us all at the gates!

xxxxxxx

Hi bro,

Forgive me for not getting on here sooner, no excuses.

I've been watching some some clips of a Queen concert on You Tube, when they performed at Wembley in 1986. In total there are 14 clips, but there is a song on clip 8 'they are the love of my life'. Not sure why but when listening to this and typing this not I'm sobbing my heart out, shaking as I miss you so much geezer!!

I saw Steve last night, Terry was there - another row with Julie! Terry at one point called me Jim instead of Tom. I had your the photo in my pocket of when we went to Thailand. I would do anything to have you back or just to spend sometime with you again and I mean anything. If I could die to bring you back I would gladly do it. Life isn't the same without you bro and I miss you so much. I sometimes wonder what life is all about, the purpose of it all. I so hope to see you again geezer and grandad of course.

I'm making sure nan is okay and pop round to see her regularly. When sitting in grandads chair I keep thinking about you sitting there and trying to think about your mind and thoughts.

I've ordered yours and grandads memorial bench, should arrive soon.

Went fishing today but didn't catch a*&^%$£"thing.

Now going for tea geezer..........

Love you bro/grandad - see you soon :-)
