Happy Birthday Bruv

Firstly I'm sorry I don't know how to rotate the photo on my phone.

Today would have been my brother Michael's 71st birthday. Sadly he only had a very brief life and died at age 3 of TB Meningitis and spent 6 months in a coma, but he was treated with a new miracle drug at that time, "Streptomycin" and he partially recovered and even came home from hospital for a while, before fatally relapsing several months later. However I always feel proud of him as his part in the drug trial went on to save many other lives in the future. Although it is very sad that he didn't pull through.

I never met him but he has always been a part of my life and always will be. I've blipped him before on his birthday anniversaries.
