Thoughts
3 years have gone by and our lives are not the same. Every day I think of you and wish you were here. Every night I tell you, I love and miss you and wish I could hug you tight. Every family occassion is always incomplete, all wishing you were taking part. Every time something triggers a memory. I wish I could go back in a time machine. Every Birthday, Anniversary and Xmas without you gets harder. I wish you had given us chance to help. Every day I am full of regret and sadness. That my lovely, fun and caring son got that low and didn't want us to know. You and us have missed out on so much. Losing you was never in my future hopes and dreams. You could never of been a burden. You never made us feel any shame. You were never seen as a failure. You had no reason to carry any guilt. I was proud to be your mum. All these things were in your head but they weren't true at all. You were ill and needed help and time. Not a final curtain call 😭

It's been 365 days without you now man.
But forgive me for it still not sinking in as you've been a constant in my mind this past year.
Sometimes I happen across a place a person a thought a memory.
Be it seeing a post about game of thrones and remembering our debates on what we were "sure" was gonna happen with the characters.
Little did we know the ending would suck as hard as it did! 😖 (I still stand by the fact that little finger should have had the throne!!)
Or when Goose so desperately needs bringing down a peg 🤣.
But my thoughts of you surface most in my sensitivity to others and their feelings.
The battles there fighting.
Helping however I can.
To be the best me and help people be the best them.
Checking in on people keeping in touch.
That's how you help me to this day.
I didn't keep in touch like I should have.
The laughs I missed because of that I will always regret.
But when I last saw you was across from each other at Monday night football.
You said "Alright Perry!!" and we cracked on and played.
God you were awful at football 😂 but were still the focal point of every attack for your team.
You made us all laugh and I left thinking about you.
Even if it was just "How did he miss and open goal?!"
You always found a way to stick in the memory.
Every day we miss you man.
What I wouldn't give to have you pop up in our zoom call and sing a song so loud my speaker breaks.
No matter what your never far from my thoughts and I'm totally okay with that.
Rest easy Lane Train. ♥️

Well this weekend was incredibly tough saying goodbye to one of the funniest, friendliest, loudest, most decent men I have ever had the great pleasure of calling my friend. The sheer amount of people that turned up to pay their respects just goes to show what kind of a guy you were and how many lives you touched. I sang as many of our old rock school songs as I could, at the top of my lungs on Friday night, I hope I did you proud. Go and entertain whoever you can, wherever you are, just the way you always did. Sleep easy Laner
