a gesture and some hard words...


this day
Justin McGovern

a vibrant, sporty, ragamuffin teen from our little town

was walking home
in the early hours of a foggy Sunday morning

when a few hundred metres from his home

he was struck by a vehicle

that did not stop

...

Justin died in the middle of the road 

before help could be summoned

.... 

a year has passed

 and still no one has come forward to claim responsibility 

....





I left a paper heart by the cross that sits next to the road



....
