....as a mother, like other mothers we send our kids off to school, at the end of the day they come home. We nag them about homework, nag them to get off the PC,X-Box,phone and generally after a long working day are no doubt, at times a little impatient.

One set of parents of a boy at my daughters school will be wishing they were tonight, on his way to school, within yards of the school gates he was hit by a coach. He died later....................he was 16

His name hasn't been released but of course all the school know, Abi saw him laying in the road as she arrived for school, the ambulance was just arriving. She cried all the way home, as the gates to the school are covered with flowers. She didn't know him, but I bet she's not the only child shaken by this.

My thoughts go out to his family.......
