Roger Williamson's fatal crash at the Dutch Grand Prix. It is the actions of David Purley, a fellow driver who abandoned his race to try and rescue Roger that makes this video so sad. His walking away at the end hits me. Such a helpless, frustrated, heart breaking walk. What he now calls the saddest day of his life.

And if Fry's dog wasn't here.....
I was gonna post it...And I am gonna post it! Because even though the pic is here earlier in the thread, it needs the video\song

and its left me in a total heap!
I still can't believe its year and a half since I wrote that...
It still feels like yesterday!
Its even harder to believe that its a week short of 6 years since Kate died.
Even now the number\the time elapsed is still constantly calculated in my head since she died.
Life moves in ways we never expect it to...
Survival is learning to swim and survive in strange waters i suppose and all I can say is we're still swimming
Love ya more than chips Kate and always will.

P.S Thanks for the comments and sorry if i upset anyone.

Jeez don't apologise at all man...it was heart-breaking stuff to read and there was such an 'honesty' in your thread. Fair play to you for having the strength to write about it, & write about it in such a touching way. I can't even imagine what you & the little fella have gone through, and in actual fact I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say here...I just wanted to 'say' something to you after reading the thread.

Back-story from the video translated:
I received a request from a friend and customer, who knew that the famous Anderson Silva (Brazilian mixed martial artist and current UFC Middleweight Champion) was a client of mine, to get an autograph for his son Joao Pedro, 12 years old, to help him in his recovery. I asked what the boy had and she told me: "Dr. Eduardo, Joao Pedro is extremely active and has played sports and wrestled since he was 5 years old (he's 12 now). Turns out he has a disease of the femur (Epiphysiolysis) and has spent 9 months in a wheelchair, he has undergone two surgeries and doctors don't know if he will ever walk again and if he does they don't know how long it will take, and adding that Anderson Silva is his biggest idol." The video speaks for itself. A feeling gripped everyone and it gives me chills every time I watch it again. This has given a renewal of faith, hope and solidarity, and made a change in the destiny and life of little Joao Pedro and his family. This was my Easter present ... the rest is chocolate egg. In Anderson's own words: "it is better to die for something than live for nothing." And to think that each of us can do something to help someone. Have a good Easter everyone!

One of the youtube portugese speakers translated what he is saying:

He is telling "let's get better quickly? Give me a hug! A strong one! I'm here, brother! Lets get better fast or not? Let's take a pic! Look what I bring to you! Autographed gloves, i got it for you, get. Let me tell something: you'll need do a really important thing for all of us: strive to get better fast. "Minotauro" had the same problem and today is fighting again. Got it? You need to strive, OK? I spoke to the doctor, we will talk with Dr. Angela (who was taking of "Minotauro") to help you"

This piece is entitled "A Mother's Journey". It follows a single mother during her young son's battle with cancer. It won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for feature photography. Really heart breaking stuff.

This got me, hard.
I didnt even read the translation, i dont think i needed to, either.
My lips quivering and tears building up meant I had to turn it off before the end. A lot of hours clocked on the internet and thats the first video to make me do that.

An old man sits in a nursing home, completely unresponsive. He is given headphones and an ipod with songs he recognises from his past, and the man behind the dementia resurfaces.
