My Sisters Story
At 11pm on Dec 10th Liam woke up after having a nap he was happily playing with his toys and his
sister Sara clapping his hands and singing to himself he was"full of beans". It was an extra special
time as he had just learnt his first words "mam and"dada".
Nothing could prepare us for the devastating event that would occur the following morning.
At 6am on the 11th Dec Suzannes husband Russell noticed that Liam was breathing heavily but that
was nothing unusual he was a deep sleeper. Russell left for work at 6.30am that was last time he
ever seen Liam alive.
Suzanne and my neice Sara 10yrs woke up at 8am for school as Sara left room to go get ready she
rushed back in as she heard her mum screaming hysterically Suzanne woke to find Liam face down his
skin purple down one side.
Sara called the ambulance while Suzanne worked on him giving him mouth to mouth and heart massage.
Suzanne didnt let paramedics give up on him either. the doctors at both hospitals Keswick and
Carlisle worked on him due to Suzannes persistence and hysterics although we know we lost Liam in
his sleep at home.
Because his death was so sudden and there was just no warning signs, the doctors thought it
was"Sudden Infant Death Syndrome"
Due to the speed of his death and the lack of symptoms a post mortem was carried out, and it was
only then that the disease was diagnosed. Six days after his death it was revealed Liam had group B
Meningococcal Septicemia!
There was no rash, no temperature, there was nothing wrong with him Everyone always thinks that you
can detect meningitis by the rash but its much more complex than that.
Suzanne says"when you lose a child, you lose a big part of you as well, but you have to fight, you
have to carry on for the sake of the rest of your family: they have all lost liam too".
Liam was my nephew he was a great natured smiling happy little boy.
Everyone that met him loved him for his wee happy nature and his big smile, also known as"wee chunky
guy".
My sister Suzanne's world fell apart on 11th december 06. Our lives will never be the same wee miss
you"wee chunky". I have never mentioned Liam died of Meningitis M. Septicemia. I have always
believed meningitis came with rash and more symptoms but Liam was fine on 10th Dec smiling laughing
with his family when they were singing christmas Carols. These Christmas Carols now have different
memories for us they are a reminder of how one can be taken away so quickly. Christmas and our lives
will never be the same x x

SKY BUNNIES

('.')
(')_(')
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

THE TINY BUNNY

('.')
(')_(')
The tiny bunny
Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song
He is having so much fun
Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day

A SPECIAL EASTER WISH
This special Easter wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do--
It also comes to let you know
You mean so much more each day
To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way.
() ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X () ♥ X
FUNNY BUNNY
Little Easter, the comedienne bunny,
Tried too hard at being funny.
She juggled and she dropped the eggs
They fell and smashed between her legs.
Poor Easter left the stage in shame
And thought that she might change her name.
But then that bunny read this ad,
"This Sunday we need help real bad."
So Easter Bunny kept her name
And through the years has gained much fame,
When Easter's Sunday comes each year.
She delivers eggs and we all cheer.

ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫
Sad are we, for one we've lost,
our love for you will stay.
Within our minds are memories,
that we carry everyday.
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫
Sorry my candles can be infrequent, but dear angel you and your family are always in mind. Sending love always. xxx
I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, He gave me a forest.
I asked God for a river, He gave me an ocean.
I asked God for the world, He gave me you.
My heart is lost to you, always and forever.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
~Your Loved One lives In Your Heart~
Many tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side,
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belonged to you.

Tribute For This Weekend
Candles will be lit as usual

A LITTLE HUG ♥♥♥
A little hug from me to you
To make you smile
When your feeling blue,
To make you happy
When your sad
To let you know life aint so bad
Now I have given
A hug to you
Somehow I feel
Much better too
Hugs are better
When they there shared
So pass this on to show you care...
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
MY LITTLE ANGEL
You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
FOUR CANDLES
The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
The second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.
The fourth candle is just for being you
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
GOOD-BYE
I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.
Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”
So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.
But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.
You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.
When your time comes,
To join me up above.
We will be reunited,
And still, we’ll have our love.
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
I CAN'T REMEMBER
Just a line to say I'm living
That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful
And mixed up in my head.
I got used to arthritis,
To my dentures I'm resigned,
I can manage my bifocals,
But God, I miss my mind.
For sometimes I can't remember,
When I stand at the foot of the stair
If I must go up for something
Or have I just come down from there?
And before the fridge so often,
My poor mind is filled with doubt,
Have I just put the food away,
Or have I come to take some out?
And there's the time when it is dark
With my nightcap on my head,
I don't know if I'm retiring,
Or just getting out of bed.
If it's my turn to write you,
There's no need for getting sore,
I may think that I have written
And don't want to be a bore.
Remember that I love you
And wish that you were near.
Now it is nearly mail time,
So I must say goodbye dear.
There I stand beside the mailbox,
With face so very red,
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I had opened it instead.

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is part of me.
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
He isn't very far.
He touched the hearts of many
like only an Angel can do.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send HIM all my love.
loved and missed always xxx
I think of you with love today but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too. I will think of you tomorrow as i will my whole life through, For the day i fail to think of you, Is the day god takes me too xxxx
Tribute For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Hit And Miss For A Few Weeks
My Father-in-Law is very ill in hospital,
I’m trying to light all my candles
Sometimes you will get 2 on one day
And none the next day I always put the day
They are for at the bottom of verse.

MEMORIES
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
MY CASTLE
Can you see my castle
Up here in the sky
Its got big gold gates
That sparkle in my eyes
Can you see my garden
It’s full of red flowers
And they smell beautiful
They hold magic powers
I have many new friends
That are all like me
They too are an angel
Flying high and free
They watch over family’s
That like me left behind
And send them angel kisses
They are friends hard to find
I’m glad I’m in heaven
And that I am at peace today
Yes I miss my family dear
But I had to go away
God picked me from many
And said that I’m one of the best
And I had completed my lives journey
And that I had past all the tests
So I deserve this castle
That god gave to me
And one day if your lucky
This castle you will see.
NATURE'S WONDERS
Have you ever wondered
what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones
blowing us a kiss?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch
over us while we sleep?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our
loved ones missing us?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones
giving us a warm hug?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the ocean waves
come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones
wanting to touch us once more?
There are so many of natures wonders
and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power
making sure we always remember
The loved one we’ve lost
and shall never forget.
LIGHT A CANDLE
Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the graveside.
They are somewhere else
radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world
where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left
this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden.
Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame,
in your hearts they will always belong.
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥
A smile is cheer from you to me,
The cost is nothing its given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
Its the only thing you keep when you give it away.

GOOD MORNING SWEET ANGEL.............
♥═══♥ FOR THOSE I HAVE LEFT BEHIND ♥═══♥
I have not gone far...I still see...
Those tears you shed...are for me...
I am not unhappy...I am not sad...
I just thank God...For all we had...
I did not choose...To go away...
But God told me...I couldn't stay...
He reached for me...with loving care...
Come with me child...If you dare...
Reach out your arms...to those below...
Blow them a kiss...So they will know...
Let the breeze of your kiss... Pass across their brow...
Let them know you are safe...and happy now...
Now dry your eyes...And remember me...
For where I am...Was meant to be...
To you that I have left behind...
The love we've shared...Will always bind...
If a breeze should pass...Across your brow...
Remember from where it came...And how...
Until we meet again one day...
I've not gone far... I am just away.
