really sad day

today was the funeral of one of Ed's friends,who was killed in afgan last week.
over 500 people turned up,and it was incredibly moving.i just about held it together until his best friend came to the end of his speech and stumbled over "he wont be best man at my wedding anymore, but to me,and many others, he will always be the best man"and then broke off sobbing, and the last post was played.i just dont want this to be real. He and Ed were going to live together in Catterick and i was so looking forward to it, it was going to be so much fun.
RIP Merv, we will always love,remember and talk about you.

    It's incredbly sad but always particularly sad when somebody young dies.
    The addage "only the good die young" sadly is usually always true.
