Headline: More Than a Friend, He Was My Brother 🕊️
Today marks 4 years since I lost a legend. Owen, you weren’t just my friend; you were my brother in every way that counts. From the time we were little kids, you were always there for me, telling me never to listen to the bullies and making sure I knew I had someone in my corner.
I look back at the days we spent knocking about with your sister Stephanie, having a cuppa with your mum, and those "fantastic" days out on the push bikes and rollerblades. From getting our dog Patch from you to the pride I felt making that memorial bench for your mum in your honour—every memory is a treasure.
You never judged me. You only ever gave me love, support, and just enough banter to keep me smiling. Giving your son his punching bag and seeing him grow reminds me of you every single day.
4 years have gone by so fast, but I’ve not forgotten. I’m still looking up at the sky, talking to you, and feeling proud to call you my brother.
Rest easy, Owen. Always in my heart. 🤍

My response.
Hi George . I'm Owen's step-dad and Steph's father. I was in hospital when I heard of his death. For some time now I've been involved in a programme for people who like to use science as well as art to show that death is not the end. Synchronicity can be used to help prove that we live in a very strange universe where hope, love and life can survive anything. Interestingly, today is International Pi Day as well as being the anniversary of Owen's (shall we say?) Passing. I congratulate you on your post. You sound like you were - and still can be - a very good friend.
