Sun blinded
October 22nd 1979. Aged 12. Washing dishes in the kitchen. Mam collecting the washing off the line. Daniel, aged 3, all wrapped up in his little blue snorkel coat going out to play.
The sound of breaking glass. I can still hear my mam's screams as she hammered on the front door. The washing scattered all along the front drive.
34 years later. 20mph speed limit. 34 years too late.
I'm not my best in October, Tony and Daniel's anniversaries, too many what ifs and what might have beens.
