Ok just a note this is not offensive to anyone or isn't meant to be taken as a personal attack this is all true life events and people's names in this are real.
Well I had a cousin from Canada named Ash he was a brilliant guy ok he was a little bit in the crazy side but a brilliant guy who always looked out for his family and friends and of course Simon his partner, well I can only describe my cousin in such a manner of been a mad S.O.B but yeah I loved him for it even if he did throw me in the pool fully clothed and he used to pick on me but not out of a horrible way just him being himself and I guess that's where I get it from really.....well ash has a sister called Amy who i miss 2 bits anyways more about her later, well ash worked in new york city and well he had left school early because he was getting private tutoring by Simons relations and well yeah Simon helped him get through it which is great and he had a job had done for well over a year he worked in the world trade centre and this is where the memory will shift from good to bad....I was in school on the day of the attacks and I remember getting a phone call to my school and well little did I know that Amy was on her way to the school to get me....well when Amy got there I was taken to the head teachers office and told what had happened and I didn't and wouldn't believe it, so I went home with amy and switched on the tv and just looked in pure horror of what I saw and seeing people jumping from the towers the buildings being hit with planes I thought that this was something from a movie not really happening until I saw him falling to death and I just say there not knowing what to say or what to do I was fixed to the tv like a bunny caught in the head lamps unable to move....I just sat there for hours watching the tv not wanting to eat or sleep or do anything.....I had school the next day but due to the nature of what had happened I was given time off and work sent home to me to do in my own time and it would get marked when I went back. I just came up to my room and sat there on my bed looking at Amy thinking what the f**k do I do now, do I cry or what I just cudnt get any emotions out. Amy was very supportive and so was my family I owe it to them for everything and getting me back on track. So the decision was made when air traffic was fine to travel again that I wud go to Canada for 5 months to live me and Amy went in to school and told them what was going on and they said that they would send work out to Amy's for me to do they sent it by email so I cud do it out there and email it all back when it was done and also I was allowed to go to school there in Canada which I have to say was fantastic and I wish I cud thank Amy and Rachel and the guys for making it easy for me to fit in but granted a lot of people were fascinated by my English accent because I was from the north of the uk they said I sounded funny I didn't mind so as the months went on things were hard but grew easier I mean Rachel and Amy looked after me and made sure I was ok and Simon used to come see me and we wud chat and hang out even tho he had lost his boyfriend I guess it just helped with the healing process which I am still not over fully. I miss Amy also she was taken from me on 23rd November 2006 she died as a result of internal bleeding due to a car accident but she wasn't driving it was on a bus. Amy was my rock she helped me through so much while I was out there ok Rachel helped in which I miss mine an hers late night chats by the pool looking up at the stars and I admit I had a crush on her but no point telling her oh wait she did find out big mouth Amy told her lol but the memories I have of the 2 most wonderful people won't fade ok they may not be happy some of them but I like the happy part of the memories we shared.
Amy was 18 when she died she left behind a husband and 2 baby girls.
Ash was 19 when died and he left behind a partner who I know they were going to marry in 2004 when I left school.
The plans I had to move over there with them all never happened anymore I would of moved there with my partner if she wanted to go with me.
But ash and amy you won't be forgotten or not loved because you still are loved, I know your daughters miss u Amy but so do I,
Ash your missed by all and not just by family your friends miss you and I know you told Simon to move on if anything happened and well he did cousin and he is happy but I know he has a photo of you and him still and his partner has accepted that.
Goodnight god bless never forgotten, we will meet again soon forever u sleep forever you dream forever you look down on us all and protect
Ash and Amy RIP
