Hi Everyone........
Our 1st Morning and the house is ominously very quiet and there is a huge hole, that should be Timothy.
Please forgive me the pace of these old posts, The computer recovery program is still running and I am finding more updates all around 2012.
To me they are proving a very important thing, as with the glancing at some replies as I edit the rubbish from the corrupt files, leaves me with tears streaming down my cheeks, but they seem to be having a calming affect on me.
But they also are making it harder for me just to to these Life n Grimes in max 10 min slots, but it is a battle I have to face and beat as I can feel that if I just try and do them all as quick as possible, the calming affect they are having on me, could turn into something sinister that the Black dog can take advantage on.
(but as you know I have no memory of these events), but with the tears, I feel they must be doing something that in time I hope will help me to recover from the mess I am still in 10 years after that horrible day!..
I will add multiple updates that I made on this day, back in 2012 and will use a purple line to divide the different posts.
Again these posts are unedited and as were posted, please respect that wish.
If after all this time, you would like to leave any comments, please add them to the blog at the foot of each page.
Morning all - I just dont know what to say about the support from family and friends, since Tims untimely death.
We have tried to keep up with messages/emails/texts as much as we can, but decided yesterday when emails went over the 700 mark that we would leave them and try to go thru them later on and reply to everybody we can.
I would also like to thank the steady stream of family and friends who have turned up yesterday and helped us thu the day, without you being there dont think we would have got thru the day.
You are more than welcome to nip in if you wish, even if for only a few mins, the door again will be open all day.
If the appeal is done this morn, can someone please record it ( look north I think) so We as a family can keep it as a momento and maybe look at it at a later stage.
Once again many thanks to everyone Lynne, Creature, Michael, Emma & Zoe
________________
Hope the support continues to hekp

People don't expect a response Mr. C. - there will be times when you take comfort from others and other times when others overwhelm you. I found I answered what I could when I could and left the rest

Sorry we're not a bit closer. Thinking of you and your family constantly. For once the saying Much Love, Honour and Respect truly applies to an individual. Love to all your family too.
Noone expects you to reply hun. We will help where we can. Xxx
it's at times like this that our extended biker family shows it's true nature. we may be miles apart, but we are all with you in our hearts and minds, and willing to help in any way we can. 'to each other, from each other, according to his needs and abilities'
u,r family and we look after family anyway we can brother
No answer necessary mate. As long as you can take strength from the love you are receiving so much in abundance from all quarters, that is all any of us would hope. You've put yourself out for so many people and worked your heart out to make people happy, giving you a little bit (or more) back is the very least we can do. You're a much-loved family and you just need to be there for each other.
HANG ON IN THERE MR C .
no one is going to worry about not getting a reply, i know its an impossible time for you all, much love to you all and blessed be
our thoughts are with you at this time to hopefully give you that extra bit of strength, not for thanks. stay strong.
our deepest sympathy ,,,our thoughts are with you and all your family,,,, no need for replys x

There's nothing we can say that won't sound trite, but just know that Steve & I are thinking about you, and if there's anything we can do (eg any gigs that need covering), make sure you give us a shout.
Dave Cooper
Stay strong Mr C, we're stood beside you in spirit.
Caroline van der Horst
Oh sweetheart .......I cannot think of any words that may help you an yours now .
All I can do is to let you read this >>>
I heard quite often "men don’t cry"
though no one ever told me why.
So when I fell and skinned a knee,
And when some bully-boy at school
would pull a prank so mean and cruel,
I’d quickly learn to turn and quip,
"It doesn’t hurt," and bite my lip.
So as I grew to reason years,
I learned to stifle any tears.
Though "Be a big boy" it began,
quite soon I learned to "Be a man."
And I could play that stoic role
while storm and tempest wracked my soul.
No pain or setback could there be
could wrest one single tear from me.
Then one long night I stood nearby
and helplessly watched my son die.
And quickly found, to my surprise,
that all that tearless talk was lies.
And still I cry, and have no shame.
I cannot play that "big boy" game.
And openly, without remorse,
I let my sorrow takes its course.
So those of you who can’t abide
a man you’ve seen who’s often cried,
reach out to him with all your heart
as one whose life’s been torn apart.
For men DO cry when they can see
their loss of immortality.
And tears will come in endless streams,
when mindless fate destroys their dreams. "
Nicola Pattyson
beautiful

One of our raffles this year at the Chilly Willy will be goin towards Creatures family so dig deep on Nov9-10th. Cheers bro thoughts and hearts are with you & the family.
Timothys Testimonial will be on look north around 6pm tonight.
here it is
Timothy James Osborn, ( 27) is our eldest child of 4. He wasn't the most academic person but he had many better qualities and we were extremely proud of him.
Tim worked at Morrisons all his working life mostly in the car park pushing trolleys around and helping those who needed it to load their shopping into their cars.
He loved his job and especially being outside in all weathers.
Tim didn't want much, he was a happy child, He always said as long as I have enough money to pay my rent, update my computer and my push bike. He loved to surprise us all with small thoughtful gestures and has left all of us with a very large hole in our lives.
Tim was the light n soul of our family – always around with his fun and laughter. His family was extremely important to him and at family reunions, and parties or when we went on holidays he was the life n soul having fun and enjoying himself.
Since Tim's death on Friday Night, we have had so many messages of support we are finding it hard to keep up with them all. We are finding out just how special our Timothy was to other people helping them through hard times and being a shoulder to cry on.
To the driver of the vehicle or their families and friends, we would like you to come forward so we can understand how this happened. We would also appeal to anybody else who has information however small to contact the police. Imagine how you would feel finding your child dying in a ditch at the side of the road not 5 mins away from home.
PLEASE PLEASE come forward and hopefully you will never have to know just how hurt and destroyed we are.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the Lincs Police,Ambulance & Fire brigade for all their hard work and dedication.
We are just a normal family, who were like many families just living our own lives the best we could when this happened.
Tim I am so sorry we couldn't be there to stop this happening we love you forever and you will always be in our hearts.
R.I.P – TO A VERY SPECIAL SON
Mum, Dad, Emma, Zoe & Michael

Did anyone record the testimonial to timothy - we put the news on but just caught end 2 seconds and not on iplayer
_____________________
added 24th Jan 2023
(We never did get this and I do not suppose those that recorded it no longer have it. It would have been a nice tough if the BBC had offered us (or anyone else in similar circumstances) a copy of it of DVD) -
(it would just be nice to have everything together in one place)
_____________________
It might be on iplayer tomorrow
Chris Pattinson
I think its an hour before it gets on iplayer
Caroline van der Horst
We don't get the same local news up here pet .........I have tried looking on iplayer too
Look north is on bbc1 at 10.15 2nite Mr C. Hope that helps
Nell Stafford
No we didn't get it either.
Alan Harry Harrison
We're way too far south but perhaps if you asked them they might give you a recording of it.
Saff Ellerby
i dont get look north, but i think its on again at 10:15, for those hat have it, if its the same area, its on virgin ch 858 same time, dont know about sky tho x
Neil Gonzo Buxton
Sky channel 101
Caz Binns
It wernt on ours up here.. Have it on to come on at 10.15.. Iplayer takes awhile to boot everything onto it.. May take an hour or 2 x
Amanda Walker
We did, but it's on our sky box, we don't have DVD/VCR recordables. Don't think you can upload it from sky box? It was a short piece but very good. I cried. You were very brave x x x
I don't think we get it, but going to see if it's on iplayer
sorry creature.... didnt record it... but we did watch and you were all so brave... really hope they find the person soon xxx
We cudnt see it here x how do we get to see in lough x tried internet but just said we need to be in area x if someone cud post a link we wud be very grateful
I agree with you being brave.. Have been crying for you... and went to garden after to meditate after for you all after I saw it- have been learning from a Buddhist monk..
Hi Mick, well done for doing that - i didn't see it as outside the area and can't find it online either, but apparently if anyone has it on sky+ you should be able to plug in a dvd/vcr recorder to their television and transfer it on to dvd using that. Instructions are: go to sky+, press right on controller and you should see COPY at bottom on green button. Select that to mark programme for COPY, then select programme. Instructions will then tell you to start dvd or vcr and press select to start playback. I can get more info if needed (Andy also thinks you may be able to do it by plugging a video capture card into sky box).
Tried ringing you guys earlier but phone was engaged - we're just having tea but will ring again in a bit.
Terry Pawling
Just managed to catch the report via sky. Dignified. Love and Respect, Shep.
Stephen Osborn
we caught it at 10.15ish - the kids ran out the room but Lynne n me watched it - more out of curosity than anything else
Well done to all of you for the news item, immense courage, love and respect, stay strong. Gaz (Riff Raff)
Goodnight Tim sleep tight, am gonna go n hide in our bedroom as totally drained.
R.I.P
loads of love
Daddy
