3 boys, 3 budding careers, 1 fatal accident. Losing my friends at the age of 17 with Emmanuel Awoyelu.

Welcome back to another episode of The Grief Gang podcast. Thank you for being here!This week I was joined by Emmanuel Awoyelu as we speak about his 3 best friends, Jess, Idris and Raymond who he lost to a fatal car accident back when he was 17. A powerful conversation on the meaning of friendship and what theirs meant to him. Through those poignant moments in Emmanuel's teen life there was one running theme, his boys were always there.I loved listening to Emmanuel speak about their friendship, growing up together and the boys budding future football careers. With Raymond being signed for QPR and Idris and Jess being accepted into Fulham academy, the world was truly at their feet.Thank you Emmanuel for sharing Jess, Idris and Raymond with me and The Grief Gang audience.
