Hello everyone. This page is in memory of my brother, Christopher John Holgate.
On the 19/07/2012, which will be Thursday this week, it will be the 9th anniversary of Christopher's death.
Chris was twenty-one when his life was taken in a car accident. He had been on a night out with a work friend. His friend had been drinking and lost control of the car until it smashed into a wall. They both lost their lives that night.
I am creating this blog so that people who knew Chris can put up posts of their own, look at pictures, talk about things that remind them of Chris or talk about things they wish they could share with Chris if he was still here. If you want anything to appear in a post then please email me here. I'll make sure it is put up on this page.
I will gradually post pictures, stories and items that we've had for years. I hope you will all take part in this blog and I hope it makes you feel that little bit closer to my brother.
On a final note for this first post, please look at the post on my personal blog regarding National Transplant Week. It took place last week and has a lot to do with Chris as he was a donor, and he saved lives by being a donor.

Can't believe it's been almost 9 years since Chris left us. I still think about him from time to time and wonder what he would say to me if he met me at this age. There's one memory in particular that sticks in my mind about him, coming out of the flat door on to the outside balcony with a fork in one hand, and a cold tin of sausage and baked beans! Good ole holgate. Miss you old friend
ReplyDeleteLol, that sounds about right! He did enjoy his cold beans. He enjoyed his beans and sausage full stop xD
DeleteThanks for sharing and I'm sure he misses you too :)
