Default Best Mates Sister Killed by Drunk Driver

This happened yesterday and I've known about it since then.. and I've had my head up my arse since then trying to keep busy and stuff, but its got a bit much for me tonight since I'm here alone and got time to think etc.

News Story is here: http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2...14334958t0.asp

I am down about whats happened and am hurting because I knew Caroline and also because I am one of Chris' best friends, I've known the family very well over the past 15 years... they're a lovely family and its such a tragedy.

I saw my mate yesterday evening and when he got out of the car I gave him a hug, Chris has never once in the time I've known him shown weakness or anything like that.. but when I held him, he crumbled away in my arms, was one of the most powerful things I've ever had to deal with.


Cheers,
Grant
