In my YouTube welcome vid where I show pictures from my life I craftily dropped in one of my late brother. No one has noticed as we look alike. It’s his birthday today, Happy Birthday Simon, wherever you may be. I hope I’ll see you again some day, somehow
Picture is from when he came to work at Virginia and came with me for a week so I could show him the ropes, as it was his first truck driving job (owned his own van doing parcels previously.) Virginia almost had the full Vernon set, at one point me, Simon and Dad were working for them! If that doesn’t make clear how good a company they are nothing will! They’ve had their own heartbreaking loss themselves this year. He had left by time of his passing but Virginia helped us so much it was moving & helped my grief stricken parents esp. While some companies wont repatriate their drivers who die at work Virginia helped us no end during this terrible time with a driver who no longer worked for them! It’s why I love working for family companies when possible.
Also!- One lesson learnt is never leave anything unsaid. Don’t assume people know how you feel about them, tell them! After accident I also went back to saying ‘love you’ at the end of phone calls to Mum.
Also2!- Stop being silly about having your picture taken. Do it for others. One day those that love you most will cherish photos of you when it’s all they have left.
See if you can spot him, goes by fast!
