Remembering Sparky

10 years ago my little brother Marcus (nicknamed Sparky) passed away at the age of 28 after a short 6 week illness.

I miss him, he was cheeky and drove me nuts. I often think of the pain my parents ,also now sadly no longer with us, must have suffered having lost a child. It doesn't bear thinking about.

There are so many things I think about that Marcus would have loved that he never managed to enjoy, Alan and I got married 2 weeks after he died (on Sept 11th - the irony!!). He never got to meet our son Alex, and I know he would have LOVED Peter Kay!

So Marcus, wherever you are, I miss you mate and today I have been remembering you bro xxx

My heart goes out to you Sam...he sure sounded like a great brother.

I am sure that he is sharing that cheekiness with your parents every day, and probably with you in a special way!

Big hugs
