Michael Peplow, aged 19, from Heywood, Lancs, taken tragically doing what he loved best, riding his
motorbike, on 9th August 2008. One of life's absolutely top lads; never unkind to anyone. A
lovely son, brother, cousin, nephew and grandson to everyone who knew and loved him. You were taken
from us much too soon, don't know how life will be the same now, we miss you already kiddo.
Never from our hearts and thoughts Michael. Love you forever and always.
All your family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nearly 10 weeks!
Was sat thinking about you and felt the need to say a few words. There isn't a day goes by i don't think about you. I see your dad every day and he's so, so sad. I want to constantly wrap my arms around him for comfort but i know no matter what i do, it won't make him feel any better because all he wants is to have his little boy back! Yes, i know you weren't a little boy and are all grown up now, but you'll always be his little boy. What has happened to this family is beyond belief. Things like this just shouldn't happen. You're only supposed to read about things like this in the paper or on the news. It shook us all so much. Yes, you made the news and the newspapers but all for the wrong reasons. It should've been pictures of you getting your knee down, or winning a trophy for being the best bike rider, anything but your passing!! We miss you so much darling Michael. Hope you will help us all, especially your Dad, Mum and Emily, to get through the life ahead of us because we'll never stop hurting or wishing you were still here.
Be happy. Auntie Jackie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Miss u son. Love Dad.xxx
Micheal Peplow a beautiful young man
Thought this summed you up kiddo....doesn't help but the words are true....love always. xxx
YOU can shed tears that HE has gone
or YOU can smile because HE as lived
YOU can close YOUR eyes and pray that HE'LL come back
or YOU can open YOUR eyes and see all the memories HE has left behind
YOUR heart can be empty because YOU can't see HIM
or it can be full of the love that YOU once shared
YOU can turn YOUR back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or YOU can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
YOU can remember HIM and only that HE has gone
or YOU can cherish HIS memory and let it live on
YOU can cry and close YOUR mind
be empty and turn YOUR back
or YOU can do what HE would have wanted
open YOUR eyes, remember HIM and go on.
Sadness
Hey kiddo....been in bed, can't sleep for thinking about you. Just cried, can't stop at moment, all sorts of thoughts going through my mind, about the things you're missing and the things you're gonna miss from now on. Had to get up and come on, just to let you know we're all still thinking about you all the time. Am playing Dakota and Maybe tomorrow and sat here tears rolling down my face....its so hard to come to terms with, the helpless feelings of what we could have done to stop this night happening eight weeks ago. God, I wish I had some sort of special powers to do something to change it all. The amount of people suffering at your death Michael, its overwhelming. I really really hope you know how much you were loved and are missed. Especially your Dad, my lovely bro, God how he's hurting, so lost and empty without you, its hard to witness....I hope you can't see the suffering in a way, it could be making you sad and that would be worse to know, that you can't be happy because everybody here is so miserable. God, life is so sh.. at the moment, there seems to be no end to it...the sense of loss and the waste of a life worth so much, to much to have been ended at 19. You would have been a great man, like your Dad, he'd have been so proud of what you would have achieved....he's so proud of you already don't worry, that will never be taken away. There was just so much more price to be taken from you...why didn't we have the chance to see it. Your songs make me cry here, hope you can hear them playing kiddo, they'll always make us sad I think. Wish I could sleep but my mind racing. Why I am crying tonight so much I don't know...maybe it happens every now and then when someone so special is taken, I don't know, we've never had to go through it before. I don't mind the tears....they're just tears for a young man who should still be here, living life to the full and enjoying his bike, not a beautiful life that shouldn't have ended. Will have another drink and a ciggie, see if I can relax and try sleeping again but maybe not tonight, maybe tonight is for you, for your Dad, your Mum and Emily and for you...the things you'll all miss sharing together, the things you would have celebrated and laughed at. How cruel life can be to take that away from a family....so hard to cope with kiddo.
Anyway, could stay on all night rambling, getting on your nerves...need to try and sleep, football early in the morning with your cousin, Ryan. Jay went biking today, he gutted you'll never go with him again but hopefully you watch him every time.
Hope you're partying somewhere tonight, having a Bud and raising your glass to us lot down here, missing you terribly. I didn't even see you every day yet I miss seeing you on the drive sorting out your bike with Ian. God help your mum and dad, who wish you'd walk through the door all the time, I don't know how they do it, so brave.
Will go now, try and sleep, don't mind if I can't though, the odd sleepless night over you isn't much is it, you're worth it kiddo.
Your family miss you and we all realise now how much you were part of us...always one missing now...it'll never be the same. I know you keep hearing that but its true.
Eight weeks....so long without one of us....be happy Michael, wherever you are.
Miss you lots forever and ever.

8 weeks
Hi kiddo
Eight weeks and still no easier for anyone....life just isn't the same without you popping up to see everyone at family gatherings, or just pulling up at your Dad's on the bike. Wish the last eight weeks hadn't happened Michael....you're missed so much, hope you know that.
Love always
Auntie Julie, Uncle Ian, Laura, Jay, Ryan.
