A letter to heaven to my darling Son, xxx

Dear Gareth,
Where do I start? They say that time's a healer this is so untrue the pain of what you went through, the memories that torture my mind that only you and i know flash through my mind and the tears start to flow.
Your bravery and courage was all beyond belief, caring about your loved ones right to the very end.
the pattern left in my heart is the pattern of you.
The last words you spoke was ' MUM I LOVE YOU'
28 hours later you looked at us and went to sleep oh so peacefull.
Please be safe and at peace now.
Your Biography cut oh so short.
Nothing can break a mother and Son's bond not even Death,
so Son we will be together forever and ever. Till we meet again sunshine sweet dreams xxxx

Hey Jack!!!

Its taken me a long time gareth to acknowledge the void u have left..by carrying on as 'normal' i tried 2 block out the pain..until recently i have remembered laughed cried yet most of all cherished my time with you.
I feel absolutely privelaged to have had a brother as beautiful as u both inside and outside.
Thinkink of ur courage and strength is pushing me to do things i would be 2 scared 2 do cos i no u r always with me lookin out 4 me..even on my latest venture!
Im glad i had u for limited years rather than an 'ordinary' brother for life if only u didnt have to suffer...yet u were constantly fighting and ur usual gorgeous self throughout

So big bro i love u more than words can express..everyday u r in my thoughts and i miss u so much it actually hurts

hope u groovin up there with ur voddy n ur fitted oh so gorgeous retro style!

MY PRECIOUS SON

God Was Your Closest Friend

I knew you were hurting although you wouldn't cry,
And could see you were suffering, see the pain in your eye.
I wanted to comfort you, to hold you, be with you that day,
You looked so helpless and frail while in bed you did lay.
I watched as you shivered from a new pain,
And wondered how I might have handled the same.
I wanted to scream, to shout, and to yell,
You said you were fine although your skin was so pale.
I knew in my heart your time was near end,
And wished I could take you, your body to mend.
I knew that soon God would be your closest friend,
You told me many times that's how it would end.
I stood there watching as each breath came slow,
And fought to find courage, my emotions were low.
I promised you when the time came that I'd not cry,
You never saw my eyes wet, always they were dry.
I held your hand as I silently said goodbye,
And knew in my heart that soon you would die.
I stroked your forehead and said how I loved you,
You nodded and smiled and I knew that you knew.
I no longer care, my tears I can't hide,
And as I stood there waiting for death by your side.
I knew then that God was your closest friend,
You had told me many times that's how it would end.

My Son and my friend i miss you so much ...... Mum xxxx

Hi my darling Gareth

Well sweetie me n your sisters are back from Marbella we had a nice break, we spent 2 days in Fuengarola and talked about when you and Andy went on your adventure, we laughed a lot but it was also very emotional,
I hope i walked in your steps and passed places you went to.
I try and carry on a normal life but without you Son its so very difficult.
The only thing that I pray is that i will one day see your sweet face, and pray that you are at peace. No one can hurt you anymore.
Untill we meet again my Gareth dance in your dreams. You will always be FOREVER YOUNG AND ETERNALY BEAUTIFUL.

FOREVER CHANGED MY DARLING GARETH XXXXX

Can you see the change in me?
it may not be so obviousto you. I participate in family reunions...
i help plan holiday meals.

You tell me you're glad to see that i dont cry anymore.
But i do cry! When everyone has gone - when it is safe- the tears fall. i cry in privacy so my famiy wont won't worry. i cry until i am exhausted and can finally sleep.

You tell me you admire my strength and my possitive attitude. But i am not strong, i feel that i have lost control;
and i panic when i think about tomorow....next week..... next year. i go about the routine of my job. i complete my assigned tasks. i drink coffee and smile.

You tell me you are glad to see I'm 'over' the death of my loved one. But I'm not 'over' it. If I get over it, I will be the same as before my loved one died. I will never be the same. At times I think I am begining to heal, but the pain of losing someone I loved so much has left a permanent scar on my heart.

I visit my neighbours.
You tell me that you're glad to see I'm holding up so well.
But I'm not holding up well. Sometimes I want to lock the door and hide from the world. I spend time with my friends, I seem calm and collected. I smile when appropriate.

You tell me it's good to see me back to my 'old self' B ut I will never be back to my 'old self'. Death and grief have touched my life....
and am changed forever.

~~ FRIENDSHIP ~~


Friendship is a precious gift
that cannot be bought or sold
but it's value is far greater
than a mountain of gold

For gold is cold and lifeless
it can neither see nor hear
and in times of trouble
it is powerless to cheer

It has no ears to listen
no heart to understand
it cannot bring you comfort
or reach out a helping hand

So when you ask god for a gift
be thankful if he sends.....
not diamonds, pearls or riches
but the love of real true friends

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Many words of kindness
a lovely smiling face
you truly make my world
a much better place

Whenever I need a friend
you are always there
with your heart wide open
and a loving word of care

Have I ever thanked you
just for who you are
a very precious friend
special to me by far

Someone so very sweet
so kind and so true
and I am so very lucky
to have a friend like you


In my thoughts & heart always ~~ Love Jane...x♥x
