Many subjects have been brought across but the only subject in my mind is my brother. I thank Mr McNeil for his sympathy (BEN August 22). In these cases the child's point of view is never looked at. At the time I was eleven and the pain just grew inside and I wanted to kill the man responsible, but suddenly I thought of the pain he must be going through. All I wanted to hear was him say "sorry".

Me and my brother had plans but as he has been taken away from me I will have to proceed with these plans myself. I feel that I have been robbed. I cannot describe the sorrow in my heart, and I wonder if it will ever go away. I am lonely and lost without Matthew.

To all drivers I am pleading with you, drive carefully because I know you would not want to feel the way I do.

SIR: I write concerning the death of my little brother Matthew Hillman who died in 1992. after a road traffic accident.

Many subjects have been brought across but the only subject in my mind is my brother. I thank Mr McNeil for his sympathy (BEN August 22). In these cases the child's point of view is never looked at. At the time I was eleven and the pain just grew inside and I wanted to kill the man responsible, but suddenly I thought of the pain he must be going through. All I wanted to hear was him say "sorry".

Me and my brother had plans but as he has been taken away from me I will have to proceed with these plans myself. I feel that I have been robbed. I cannot describe the sorrow in my heart, and I wonder if it will ever go away. I am lonely and lost without Matthew.

To all drivers I am pleading with you, drive carefully because I know you would not want to feel the way I do.
