If i had 1 wish do u know wat it would be ? my wish would be to have my son here with me,my heart
has been broken in so many ways, i still cant believe that my son is away. At only 15 and a heart of
gold i thought god would have allowed him to grow grey and old. But that was not to happen as god
had plans of his own, he took sweet baby James and brought him home.I hope god has given you the
golden crown youve won,for my heart is broken in losing you son. Your in my heart and in my soul and
you shall remain there until im grey and old. Love and miss you loads son R.I.P , forever young
..Love mum xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

wednesday 2nd march 2005..the day my whole world fell apart.
James was my eldest son and losing him to suicide has devastated me my partner and his other
brothers. i was pregnant at the time of his death so unfortunatly he wasnt here to see the birth of
his baby sister who we called 'jaime' after him. to lose a child to natural causes is
heartbreaking but to lose a child to suicide is the most awful feeling a mother will ever have, i
would not wish it on anyone. i know someday i will see my son again till then his memory lives
on..xxxxx miss you always love mum.

Footprints in the Sand


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."

to my darling son who i miss so much..love mum..xx

No one knew the torment,
that you were going through;
We only kept on seeing
What we really wanted to.

We saw the outward smile,
but not your inner pain;
We never really dreamt,
That you would never smile again.

Forgive us if we failed to see,
What we could do to aid;
Or if we failed to comprehend,
How much you were afraid.

We pray your mental anguish,
Will now forever cease;
And that your deep anxieties,
Will be replaced by peace.

We know your pain invaded,
Every single thought you had;
It made you cry internally,
And deeply, deeply sad.

But we in turn remember,
The good times, not the bad;
We remember when you smiled at us,
And not when you were sad.

So when we think about your life,
We won't dwell upon its close;
We'll remember all the good times,
And forget about life's blows.

We'll remember all the happiness,
The joy and not the tears;
The assurance and the confidence,
And not irrational fears.

Our lives have all been better,
Because you have been there;
So now we leave your memory,
In God's all-loving care.

Miss Me But Let Me Go


When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no tears in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little – But not for long
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me – But let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone,
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to your friends that we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good works,
Miss me – But let me go.

Perhaps if we could see the splendour of the land
To which our loved ones are called from you and me,
We’d understand

Perhaps if we could hear the welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear
We would not grieve.

Perhaps if we could know the reason why they went
We’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow
We’d wait content

Miss me – But let me go

Candles in the Night

Candles flame in darkness,
Flicker, steadily glow,
Bringing light from shadows
And help to soothe me so.

My son, like the candles,
Gave my life true light,
I use the candle's beacon
To connect us in the night.

As I light the candles,
My wish and my request
Is that he'll see my signal
And know my love's expressed.

As his light joins my lights,
Our worlds touch and flame.
As I snuff out the candles,
I softly say his name.

Thinking of you.XXX

Next to you

You cannot see or touch me
But I'm standing next to you.
Your tears will only hurt me,
Your sadness makes me blue.
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through.
I love you from a different place,
Yet I'm standing next to you.

Sometimes life's most precious things,
Slip too quickly from our hands,
Snowflakes, rainbows, childhood,
Castles in the sand.

God gave us a special spot,
to preserve them in our hearts,
A forever place where all we love,
lingers when we part.

Fireflies and autumn leaves,
Roses, kittens, dreams,
Icicles, sunrise, spider webs,
Mornings dew, moon beams.

Butterflies and baby birds,
Flowers that bloom in spring,
Perhaps in life God's greatest gifts,
Are blessed by Him with wings.

Life is Hard Without you
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥

Missing you more with each new day

and trying to be brave...

Thinking of our happy times

and all the love you gave...

Feeling very grateful

for the dreams we saw come true,

For every lovely thing we shared

and, most of all, for you...

Treasuring each memory

that keeps you ever near...

Remembering familiar things

and wishing you were here.

Life's very hard without you

but that is the price to pay

For all the shared and precious times

grief cannot take away.
