He was my cousin and he was the closest I had to a brother, me being an only child. We went on holiday together, My Dad sold us castles for threepence - we jointly owned Cardiff Castle because it was big. We shared a tent and I was sick in his wellies and now he has gone.
We had dinner with them on the previous Sunday and we laughed so much. I will carry that image in my mind forever.
My thanks to Sian for inventing this meme and keeping me writing.

Your memories of him are so relatable, so human. Your words have really made him a 'person' - to someone who didn't know him. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Still can't believe it either, and I hadn't seen him for years. You have my utmost sympathies, and I hope the good Lady Bluefunnel is coping as well as she can, too.
