In the end, if all does not work, just walk away. Do not look back; leave the past to the past. Do it for your own sanity and well being. Walking away is not a sign of weakness; it is a brave resolution.

For some, it will take tremendous courage to walk away but you can do it.

Remember to keep going, even on those days when it seems impossible. So long as you keep moving forward, you will get there. And whatever you do, do not stop. 

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. – Paulo Coelho

If it’s love that you’re running from
There is no hiding place
Just your problems, no one else’s problems
You just have to face

If you just put your hand in mine
We’re gonna leave all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don’t look back
Gonna walk and don’t look back

Now if your first lover let you down
There’s something that can be done
Don’t kill your faith in love
Remembering what’s become

If you just put your hand in mine
We’re gonna leave all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don’t look back
Gonna walk and don’t look back

If you just put your hand in mine
We’re gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk and don’t look back
Gonna walk and don’t look back

Places behind you
There to remind you

If your first lover broke your heart
There’s something that can be done
Gonna heal your faith in love
Remembering what’s been done

But if you just put your hand in mine
We’re gonna leave all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don’t look back
Gonna walk and don’t look back

[Talking:]
How far you been walkin’ now
About 100 miles
You still got some more to walk
I know, I got a little more to go
I’m gettin’ kind of tired but I got to keep on walkin’
I’m walkin’ barefoot
You’ve got to walk and don’t look back

On 11 September 1987, just after Tosh had returned to his home, a three-man gang came to his house on motorcycles and demanded money. Tosh replied that he did not have any with him but the gang did not believe him.

They stayed for several hours and tortured Tosh in an attempt to extort money from him. As various associates of Tosh arrived, they were also taken hostage.

The gunmen became more and more frustrated, especially Dennis ‘Leppo’ Lobban, a man whom Tosh had previously befriended and tried to help find work after a long jail sentence.

Tosh said he did not have any money in the house, after which Lobban and the fellow gunmen began opening fire in a reckless manner.

Tosh was shot twice in the head and killed. Herbalist Wilton ‘Doc’ Brown and DJ Jeff ‘Free I’ Dixon also died as a result of wounds sustained during the robbery.
