Today my family and I attend the funeral of a young man who was a friend of my son and a part of this small community. Who's mother has suffered to much tragic loss in the last 6 months. Today that is who I pay my respect to. Today I stop and think how valuable this short life we experience is. I pause to think how valuable we are to each other as we steal memories as we pass and remember.

A sad loss

Last Friday morning I sat here and listened to the radio about a car accident where a fatality occurred, I realised I would have to drive past the scene. As I passed the car was being removed and what a mess it was, little did I know I would receive a call from my mate telling me I knew the young driver who was a good mate of my son , they grew up together.

Such a tragic loss, 20 years of age, still yet to live and a mother who had just months earlier lost her husband tragically as well.

Th young people in this community have lost several close friends over the last few years to car accidents, will they ever learn?

Unfortunately not.

RIP Eamon
