our beautiful baby boy was born on 1st october 1991, at 5.25am weighing in at a fine 7LB 11oz
healthy and bright, at 6 weeks old you got a cold and and soon after was diagnosed with asthma, it
was never a major problem just always remembering to have your puffers with us. whenever you got a
cold it would go stright to your chest, but it never seemed to be a big deal in your life, as you
got older and started school, you ran around the playground with the other boys, when you were out
playing at home i was always nagging you to put a jumper on or zip your coat up, but you would
complain that it was hard to ride your bike or play football with a coat on.at 11 you started
secondary school, you loved your smart blazer and tie and took great pride in looking smart,and boy
did you look amazing! we were sooo proud of you. as you were getting older your asthma was a very
small part of your life, you joined the local football team as goalie, going to practice in all
weathers and never missing a match, just me being a pain saying 'have you got your puffer'
as you ran out of the door, yelling 'am going to the park for a kick about'
the day that changed our lives started as any other, dad was cutting the grass, i went to get my
nails done, you were watching the football on tv, at 8pm you said your chest was hurting, at 8.30
dad said he would take you to casulty, once there you saw the doctor, he gave you go on the
nebuliser, then you had to sit in reception for an hour to make sure all was ok, you wanted a coke
from the machine but dad didnt have any money on him, so you sulked, you got bored and wanted to
come home, at last the doctor said you could leave, so you got home at midnight and went up to bed,
at 1am you came into our room and said you felt strange, we went into your room and put you on the
nebuliser, you seemed fine and we went back to bed, about 15 minutes later you came in , could
barely stand, you said you it hurt, i put my arm around you, you were sweating i said come into your
bed, dad will get dressed and take you back to hospital, you collapsed in my arms, and our world
fell apart, i screamed, dad came running in, he did mouth to mouth on you for half an hour while the
ambulance came then they worked on you, i was in a blind panic, i phoned nanny and uncle chris, they
all came over, then dad went with you in the ambulance, i went with tiffany and auntie natalie, at
3am on the 1st may 2005 the doctor came in and told us you had gone, i screamed couldnt take it in,
this wasnt happening, but it was real, horribly real, our family had changed forever.
we miss you so much honey mum xxx
I Believe
I believe in Miracles
And dreams that will come true,
And I believe in happiness,
And friendship, through and through.
I believe that when you cry,
Your tears are not in vain,
And when you're sad and lonely,
Someone knows your pain.
I believe that when you laugh,
A sparkle starts to shine,
And before you know it sparks will spread,
From more hearts than just thine.
I believe the gifts you have,
Are there for you to share,
And when you give them from the heart,
The whole world knows you care.
I believe that if you give,
Even just to one,
That gift will grow in magnitude,
Before the day is done.
I believe that Love is still,
The greatest gift of all,
And when it's given from the heart,
It will conquer all.
The story of the Four Candles.
The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...
The first candle said, 'I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit.'
Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
The second candle said, 'I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable.'
Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke, 'I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer.'
'People put me aside and don't understand my importance.
They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.'
And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.
Suddenly...
A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning.
The child began to cry,
'Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.'
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,
'Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn,
we can re-light the other candles.'
With shining eyes, the child took the Candle of Hope
and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out.
With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be,
Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again.

james' poem
my best mum
by james marshall. age 12
my mum is the best there can be
from making my bed to making my tea
she helps me in any way she can
even with time to put on her fake tan
my mum may be getting old
but she will still have a heart of gold
so as i close this poem today
my mum is there for me everyday!!
i love you mum
How quickly can you miss someone
A week,an hour,a day,
We started missing you James
The minute you went away.
We try to come to terms with it
And accept that you have gone,
But without you life is not the same
It's such a struggle to go on.
We think God must have looked down
And seen how good you were
And he needed a special angel
To lend a hand up there.
It's the only thing we can think of
What other reason could there be?
We just wish He'd send you home
And from this heartbreak we'd be free.
A Glimpse
Sometimes I think I catch a glimpse
of you standing just close by
I turn and see that you're not there
at the corner of my eye.
I want so much to turn around
and see you standing there,
for you to stay and let me touch
your hands, your face, your hair.
I long to hear you call me Mum
in your beloved voice.
I want you so to stay with me
but I know you have no choice.
So I'll keep on trying to catch a glimpse
when you're just beyond my sight
I feel you there, I know it's true,
and not a trick of the light.
I know one day there'll come a time,
when there'll be no doubt I'm sure.
I'll find you there with arms outstretched
and be home with you once more.
Thinking of you all take care XXXXX.
With You Always
As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know
I’m Not Gone Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed
I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below
So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere

Perhaps
Perhaps, if we could see
The splendour of the land
To which our loved 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
And wait content.

Thinking of you all.XXX
I was loved, therefore I am,
And in being loved, I am treasured.
When I peeled away my layers,
And all that was left was my essence,
The bareness of me,
I was still loved.
I was loved, therefore I am,
And in being loved I was able to grow.
In my mistakes held,
In my successes celebrated,
I was always loved.
I was loved therefore I am,
And in being loved I learned to love.
In the sun filled day,
In the ecstasy of the night,
I was loved and loved others.
To be loved is all you need:
I was loved....and so, I will always be.

Angel Mums
We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
We have given encouragement to each other,
Given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
We share the title of grieving mother.
Some of us lost older daughters or sons,
Who we watched grow over the years,
Some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
But no matter the age , we cry the same tears.
We understand each others pain,
The bond we share is very strong,
With each other there is no need to explain,
The path we walk is hard and long.
Our children brought us together,
They didn't want us on this journey alone,
They knew we needed each other,
To survive the pain of them being gone.
So take my hand my friend,
We may stumble and fall along the way,
But we'll get up and try again,
Because together we can make it day by day.
We can give each other hope,
We'll create a place where we belong,
Together we will find ways to cope,
Because we are Angel Mums and together we are strong!
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
