Daniel was our only child born 27 jan 1982 he was our life our everything..
daniel was an easygoing lad all 6 ft 5 ins of him he disliked school but when he left to become a
builder he was as happy as larry
always popular our house was always full of pals both girls and boys...oh how we miss all that..
His grandad brought him a car when he passed his test and that was his pride and joy and he spent
every penny on it including the music system of which he was so proud and i recall one day coming
home to see our very old neighbours sitting in the car whlie he demonstrated it..but that was
typical Dan young or old he just got on so well with everyone
he never drank and drove i guess his dad being a trucker that was instilled in him always....but on
that awful friday of may 11th 2001 looking for a high like so many kids he inhaled lighter fuel and
our life ended.....
we have many good family and friends who help us through but deep down we are just waiting to be
with our precious son again...xx
if i knew
IF I KNEW
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say 'I love you,'
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say 'I love you,'
And certainly there's another chance
to say our 'Anything I can do?'
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say 'I'm sorry,'
'Please forgive me,' 'Thank you,' or 'It's okay.'
And if tomorrow never comes,
the truth
Hello old friend,
Oh yes you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please don't look away
And change the subject. It's ok.
You see at first I couldn't feel,
It took so long, but now it's real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk, Come sit with me?
You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, My, She is so strong.
They did not know I couldn't feel,
My broken heart made it all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail, Broke from me.
My child! My child! The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my child, I see their blank stare.
But I thought you were over it, their eyes seem to say,
No, no, I can't listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say, Oh, I'm ok.
But inside I am crying, as I turn away.
And so my old friend, I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start, You never knowing all the while,
All I've just said to you in my heart.
a name?
when a wife dies she leaves a widower,when a husband dies he leaves a widow,,when a child dies there is no name..why ? because its so awful to comprehned this sheer and utter grief you feel, this awful longing to be a mum again,,
this exsistance instead of a life..yes i cannot think of a word to describe me either....
Oh daniel i miss you with every breath xx
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd,
i shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of
righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though i walk
through the valley of the
shadow of death,
i will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my
enemise.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will
follow me
all the days of my life,
and i will dwell in the house of
the Lord
for ever......
sudden death of a child

may 11th
hi baby,
another year gone...so many people have moved on now..o hope they took a minute to remember you..Lee took some flowers down he always remembers you...we had some lovely cards from family and friends which helps,,we miss you so much..MUM and DAD xxxxxxx
My thoughts and prayers are with you
Elaine and Mick...
I am so sorry for your loss. Life is filled with such sadness for which we have no rhyme or reason. It's very difficult to lose one you love. I believe Daniel has gone to a better place and it is harder for those left behind then those that crossover. You will see your precious Daniel again and do know he watches over you and wants for you to have a happy heart.
May time and wonderful memories help to ease the pain in your hearts.
With love and a hug,
Tara

IN A CIRCLE ROUND I WALK
SOME DAYS I HARDLY EVEN TALK
ROUND I WALK IN THAT MAZE

I CANT THINK WHAT TO SAY
BETTER TO WAIT ANOTHER DAY
WHAT WAS SAID I NEED TO REPLY..
OH MY GOD I WANT TO CRY
DONT BE DAFT THEY DONT WANT THAT
PUT ON A ACT ..TALK OF THE CAT
THIS IS LIFE HOW IT IS YOU SEE
THEY WONT UNDERSTAND YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO BE
I WAS HAPPY I HAD A SON
NO SON..CANT BE A MUM
STAY INSIDE DONT GO FAR
AT LEAST AT HOME YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
OUTSIDE IS SCARY ALL ALONE
WISH I HAD THE GUTS TO PHONE
WILL YOU TAKE ME OUT A WHILE
I MAY REWARD YOU WITH A SMILE
IF BY CHANCE I HAVE A TEAR
WILL YOU HELP ME WILL YOU CARE
MY HUSBAND IS BREAKING UP SHOULD BE STRONG
HES NOT HE NEEDS HELP..I SHOULD KNOW THE WAY
I DONT..I JUST GO THROUGH THE DAY
HOPING TOMORROW IT WONT START AGAIN........
