Title: In a state of shock.
Post by: shipto on December 11, 2015, 06:05:53 PM: Anyone who reads my posts will see that once or twice I have mentioned a friend of mine (usually to moan about the shop time he takes up needing help with quads, motorbike and various other things).
Had his sisters around tonight and he has been found dead in his car.
Complete shock to me I have known the bloke since we were 5 years old and been friends with him since secondary school and even though he was a pain in the butt at times he was a very good friend who would go way out of his way to help if I ever needed it.
I was supposed to go and help him get a wheel on a scooter tomorrow and was quite dreading it because of the temperature dropping but what I wouldnt give now for that to still be happening.
Nothing definate as to the cause yet but he had a few health problems over the last few years.
I am going to miss him.

The unfortunate truth of life is that we will all lose a few friends along the way. Don't beat yourself up about thinking that he could be a pain sometimes, I think we all know exactly where you are coming from.

Enjoy your friends whenever you can, feel no guilt - its a wasted emotion, they wouldn't want you to.

Helping others helps you, both mentally and sometimes physically

I miss both of my mates, and it still feels kind of lonely, but the upside is, it stopped me drinking. No fun doing that alone.
Now I just remember the good times. It helps; lot.

Hope you can do the same.

Cheers
Wobbly
