Regrets (no replies)
We all have them. And on this I’m not for a minute blaming myself, but it’s easy to for many.
I play a lot of fantasy football leagues. One league is run for some lads in Edinburgh by a lad from Edinburgh who I was put in touch with a few years ago. Good craic and the WhatsApp group and some honest conversations about mental health struggles and life problems on there. I messaged the lad who ran it before Christmas as he’d not posted for ages. He quickly replied on the group that he’d been struggling mentally but he’d be ok. Was a relief. All seemed ok.
I’ve thought the last week that he’d gone quiet again and that I should message him or tag him on the WhatsApp group asking if all was good or if he needed a chat. I didn’t get round to it.
One of his work colleagues put on the group he’d been called into the office this morning and told that the lad had passed away yesterday. Tragic. 40ish. Young daughter. It’s really shook me up.
If you’re worried about anyone. Drop them a message.
And speak up if you need to folks. Tomorrow will probably be better than today if you’re struggling.
