My brother died aged 7yrs in a cycling accident in 1978. 30 years later mum asked for some reflections of him and I started this blog. I was 12 when he died and my older sister Catherine, 13. What I have written are not long stories, but are memory flashes of events or aspects of our relationship. I am now aware of the many years we have *not* spent together; the life we have not shared. I'd love to have him around now. That would be fun.

The Nickname
Dad gave it to him. Told him stories about gangsters and their imaginative names. From then he called Jeremy Ratface and Jeremy LOVED it. We loved calling him Ratface too, even if with somewhat of a different inflection...
