Today would have marked my brothers 40th birthday

Many of you know that we lost our brother Jim in July 10th 2005 from a heart attack – at 35yrs old.
Jim moved to America in 1996 to work in my aunt’s restaurant as a chef.
A few years later he met his future wife – Lisa. They got married and had a wee boy,Dale.

Im not going into too much details but i wanted to post this as this would have marked his 40th Birthday. Even to this day i cant believe we lost him and when things like that happen nothing else in the world matters, work, debts, absolutely nothing.

On a lighter note, below is a clip from a stupid video he and his mate ( more of a friend of the family ) Brian made back in the early 90′s, i think they are talking about that ridiculous jumper brian is wearing, and i have no idea what Jim has on his nose. Maybe Brian can chip in? To be fair its total nonsense but it cracks me up everytime i see.
If you watch carefully you will see my brother who is at the back drinking some Irn – Bru, drops the lid, and panics thinking he is going to drop the whole bottle, and the beauty of it is his wee smirk and laugh when he realises Brian didnt see it. Priceless.

There are literally hundreds of these videos that they made but this one certainly stands out.
Theres also some photos that ive posted too.

you are and always will be missed, buddy
