Thank you so much for visiting my page.... I will be walking the half marathon with my amazing, beautiful, lovely Boyfriend Rich (thank you for everything baby - you are my rock - couldn't be getting through this without you - you smash it!! and thank you for doing exactly what my brother asked you and what you promised him and that is to look after me, you are my everything.. Also our two friends Alex and Tina! B)...... in memory of my dear brother Colin (Codge). Love you so much <3
My brother was one of the most amazing people I have ever known, he was the perfect son, the perfect husband, the perfect dad, the perfect brother, the perfect friend.. He done absolutely everything for his family and took absolute pride in doing so.. A true role model that a lot of people looked up too, he always done the right thing in life and always said the right things and gave good advice. Codge was an Angel here on Earth and now..... Heaven has gained an Angel.
We all deeply miss and love my brother soooo much! He is THEE bravest person I know! He was so positive, so brave and so strong through his 2 months of illness before he passed.
We are walking to celebrate his life and to beat Skin Cancer.
Two of my brothers songs at his funeral were "Lucky Man" by The Verve and The Changing Man" by Paul Weller
The lyrics that stand out for me are
"Time is on loan - only ours to borrow What I can't be today - I can be tomorrow And the more I see - the more I know The more I know - the less I understand. "
I can't write much more because I am crying writing this, all I know is that one day... I will meet my brother on the other side of the Rainbow... LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH CODGE.....give a kiss to Belle for me too

25TH SEPTEMBER 1974 TO 13TH JANUARY 2011
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again....
