RONNIE

RONNIE

THE=STORY=BEHIND=THE=TRUTH

The facts and truth became our worst nightmare on the day of 12th october 2006, and is there for the rest of our lifes.
My Brother Ronnie Aged (45) at the time and very much at the best peak of his life had his life taken away for what some say being in the wrong place at the wrong time, when infact this isnt the case,he felt safe to go as a normal day to visit his friends like many days months and years as he always did before.
I recall on the morning of the 12th october 2006 feeling somewhat diffirent in myself light headed and my thoughts were all over the place, At the time i put it down to worry of diffirent things going on in my life as well as loseing my father in march the same year to cancer and my grandson the year before.
The morning seem to get the better of me so i took my self back to bed in hope this feeling would clear before my children can home from school.
I rememberd wakeing up around 2.45 that afternoon and i phoned Ronnies number as he was due to pop round as he promise me the night before,
The phone rang and rang so I left a message telling him off (HaHa).
It was 3.55 when my daugther Daisy returned home and she said oh mum i just see UNCEL RONNIE sitting on the Bench,
:IS he ok then I said:
:yes mum: :he was sitting there talking to a woman:
:with who: I asked:
:oh dont no who she was:
I,pick my phone up this was about 4pm and I called his number again it rang and rang and rang,
I didnt understand why he didnt pick up.
That very second I got this strange feeling of panic.
My Friend was hear by this time 4.05 I called Ronnie again but this time the phone rang twice then it cut off,
I called it for the final time it was turned off.
I heard this big bang on the front door whos that I shouted,
(Then my nightmare began)It was the man next door (MAX) something terrible has happend to your Ronnie luv, I think you should make your way to the hosiptal
What do you mean? my mind was runnig so many things I couldnt get my words out,
my friend walked out behind him,
me running hear there and no where,
I heard her say well you got tell her,
Tell me what::::::: Then in slow motion as I recall::::
:I think Ronnies dead:
I dont really remember much its very faint I no I arrived at the hosiptal around 4.45/4.50/ as the hole of the main road A good 2 miles of it was blocked off.
I remember being stop by the police as I was fighting my way into the Recuss room police everywhere trying to hold me back and by this time I had no control over my thoughts, I remember banging open the door fighting to get in the room with police dragging my arm,
Then, to my horror broke down on the floor in a heap, For the bed in front Layed my ronnie so helpless, yet he looked so peacefull.
I new in my heart Ronnie was gone,so many things run throught my mind,
This Doctor came towards me helping me to my feet with my friend,I new the news was comming,
He ask me to come into A room as he wanted to tell me what had happend,
I was some what rude demanding him to tell me there,
I was in total shock,
He managed with the help of my friend to walk me to this room and shut the door behind us.
:Sit down: he said: I remember slumping into this chair shaking from head to toe,
I have some bad news......My head was everywere I couldnt Quite gasp what he was saying I could hear him but he seem a million miles away,
all I could think was how do I tell my mum what has happend to our Ronnie.
We have done a Brain scan as your brother was violently attacked and has had a very bad bang to the head,
which has caused a very large amount of bleeding to the brain, we have sent the results to Another hosiptal for speicalists to over look the results.
I couldnt understand how or why and all I could hear in my mind was the last words Ronnie said to me the night before on the phone,
(see ya tomorrow sis I love you).
Well it was a good hour or so,
(yet it seem like it was days waiting for the results)Before the Doctor came Back into the room,
By this time a good few of my family had heard what happend and were outside waiting to hear how Ronnie was,
Little did they relise the heartache had just begun.
The Doctor returned but this time with Another Doctor and Nurse before they could shut the Door I knew by the look on their faces As they stumbled with the words how to break the bad tragic news to me.
I remember jumping out of the chair before they could get another word in and say :My mum: What am I going to tell my mum,
I ran from the room outside :shouting back:
I have to Ring my mum,
As i walked outside there were so many faces yet in all my confusion I couldnt focus who was who,
I remember trying to put my mums number in the phone yet I couldnt remember her number,
My hole mind was a blank It finally rang and seem so long in Asnwering,
:Hello: :it was my Brother: I felt this big pain in my heart as I said :Graham: its me,
:Whats up luv you want mum:
:No: listen something terribles happend to Ronnie
:What: he knew by the tone of my voice it wasnt good.
:whats happened to Ronnie:
I could hear my mum in the back ground as her voice became clear and loud.
:HIS DEAD:I said
:OH MY GOD NO:
By this time my mum knew something was so terribley wrong before i said another word I heard her voice,
:Max: its mum
:OH MUM:
Before I said another word she said,
:I heard all the police cars:
:Please tell me :MY BOYS OK:
I told my mum please get to the Hosiptal Quickly.
I rang my Aunty her sister and she meet us at the Hosiptal,
We All returned to the Room were the Doctors came and gave us the tragic sad news,
He said the results are not Good the speicalist have told us theres no point moveing Ronnie.
:I am most sorry:
Later, they moved Ronnie to I.C.U were he remained on a Live support Machine
They done two more test called (BRAIN STEM)
That clearly stated he was Brain Dead and in a matter of hours his body would start to such down
They prononced Ronnie Brain Dead At 10.00.PM
And Ronnies last Heart beat was at 1.05am.
ON the 14th october 2006.

The Ronnie I knew was good fun and a good laugh. Even though I have not seen him for a long time, it really upset me when I heard the sad news. He did not deserve this! Regards to his family.
