Our darling Gareth most precious son of Dave and Sharon. Beloved brother to Samantha and Amy.
Gareth suffered for 2 years from a cruel brain tumour ( glioblastoma)
After 2 brain opps and endless treatments the cancer got to him in the end.
Gareth worked with his dad as a painter and decorator, he was a fun loving party annimal and a huge
Madonna fan, he really was beautiful inside and outside.
When Gareth knew he wasnt going to get better he planned his own funeral with so much bravery and
courage beyond belief, everything had to be perfect, typical of Gareth he was a perfectionist,
He was to see his beloved Madonna in Cardiff on July 30th 06,
At this time he couldnt walk and the 4 hour journey there seemed immpossible but Gareth being Gareth
was going, me and his Dad went for the weekend and against the odds stacked against us we got him
there he had to go in a wheelchair but he saw her for the last time.
It was after we got home that Gareth starting to get really ill.
The bravery and courage facing his own death was out of this world. but the pain we had to endure
watching our darling child go through this was unbearable.
Gareth lost his battle on 8 sept 06 at home surounded by his loving family
he passed away so peacefully, watching my brave Gareth take his last breath was heartbreaking.
The picture of Gareth in his cowboy hat was taken 2 years before he died at a Madonna concert.If you
go on his photo gallery the picture with his thumbs up was on his way to his last madonna
concert.Music playing Madonna-------- LITTLE STAR.
FOREVER YOUNG, ETERNALLY BEUATIFULL NO MORE PAIN MY SON XXXX
MY DARLING GARETH
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
My Darling Garethxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Because Of You My Dearest Son................
The time in my life has come
where my skies are clouded,
Even if the sun never refused to shine,
I’m believing that i'm living this life
With you
Through you
Because of you
Never without you.
I will forever more,
walk within the sunlight of you,
Knowing the days will be endless
and the road long and winding,
With you
through you
Because of you
Never without you

♡ The Hearts Library..... ♡
By Sarah Blackstone.
Imagine if I was given one moment,
just a single slice of my past.
I could hold it close forever,
and that moment would always last.
Id put the moment in a safe,
within my hearts abode.
I could open it when I wanted,
and only I would know the code.
I could choose a time of laughing,
a time of happiness and fun.
I could choose a time that tried me,
through everything I've done.
I sat and thought about what moment,
would always make me smile.
One that would always push me,
to walk that extra mile.
If I'm feeling sad and low,
if I'm struggling with what to do.
I can go and open my little safe,
and watch my moment through.
There are moments I can think of,
that would lift my spirits everytime.
The moments when you picked me up,
when the road was hard to climb.
For me to only pick one moment,
to cherish, save and keep,
Is proving really difficult,
as I've gathered up a heap!
I've dug deep inside my heart,
found the safe and looked inside,
there was room for lots of moments,
in fact hundreds if I tried.
Am building my own little library,
embedded in my heart,
for all the moments spent with you,
before you had to part.
I can open it up whenever I like,
pick a moment and watch it through,
My little library acts as a promise,
I'll never ever forget you

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.
Angels ^I^
Make yourself familiar with the angels,
And behold them frequently in spirit;
For, without being seen,
They are present within you.~
Angel blessing
"Angels around us,
angels beside us,
angels within us.
Angels are watching over you
when times are good or stressed.
Their wings wrap gently around you,
whispering you are loved and blessed."
★★~★★~★
GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART..........

FOR A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND.

I’m Only a Whisper Away
Come dry your tears, smile again, love,
I’m only a whisper away.
Near in the dusk of the evening,
Just out of sight through the day.
Watching you waking and sleeping,
Hearing each prayer that you pray,
Sending my love to surround you,
I’m only a whisper away.
Come dry your tears, smile again, love
Remember the good times we’ve known,
Cherish the joy we discovered and the
Love that was planted and grown.
Your road may seem lonely ahead,
And distant horizons look grey,
You won’t be walking alone my darling,
Because I’m only a whisper away.
* ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ *
I'm calling you from heaven
Because I know how much you miss me
Please don't cry
I wanted to talk to you
Because you see I miss you too
Just before I called you
God and I were talking
He told me how sad you've been
And he didn't want to see you cry anymore
Then he told me there was one person
Who could always make you smile
So that's why I'm calling you today
I wanted to let you know I'm safe in heaven
So wipe your eyes
There's no tears here
Only beauty surrounds me now
If you get lonely
Just close your eyes and remember me
I'm there in the corner of your heart
God gave you those memories for a reason
So take them out and think of me
I'll send you my angel kisses
'Cause I love to see you smile
Well, I have to go now
"I LOVE YOU"
Maybe it seemed like a short time we were together
But someday we'll be together for an eternity
Until then remember what I told you
I'm always with you
In fact I'm just a prayer away!
