When one person dies prematurely in the western World, no-one will ever forget them.
Bouquets of flowers and cuddly toys litter our raods sides, reminding us all of tragedies that have occurred there.
Facebook is full of groups, dedicated to remembering those whom we have lost.
Newspaper headlines, large funerals, dedicated memorials.
No less than they deserve.
But it struck me yesterday, how many young people die in the third World and get nothing. Any large family there will, sadly, almost inevitably have lost a child, it is the norm, how can it be that we live in a World where such inbalances can be tolerated.
Let us stop, and remember, and give every young life lost the same respect.
