My beautiful son James, was taken from us tragically on a warm Summer evening. He was the light of our lives. He was diagnosed with leukaemia at the age of six and fought this terrible illness for many years. He was in full remission and was living a normal healthy life. He borrowed a friend's scooter which, we now know was defective, and skidded hitting a lamp post on his way home.
Our lives are completely devastated and even though it is five years, the pain of losing him and longing to see him never go away.
It only seems like yesterday that you went away, my darling, and I can't wait until we are all together again in a far better place than this.
You were far too good for this world - I just hope you are happy where you are. I miss you so much, sometimes the pain is unbearable. I wish I was with you. xx

Another year my darling boy and it doesn't get any easier. The light in our lives will never burn again. I miss you more than any words can ever say, my beautiful, funny, caring, thoughtful James with the infectious giggle. I'm lost without you xxxx

Been thinking about you all day (more so than most days). Remembering how 29 years ago I was in labour and so looking forward to meeting you, my darling. You were the best thing that happened to me and I can't believe another birthday has come along so quickly and I won't be able to celebrate with you. No cake, cards or presents - just memories, happy - and so very sad ones too. I love you more that life itself and wish I could be with you to celebrate and make you one of my special cakes. I am wishing with all my heart that you are in a happy place and I will see you one day again my beautiful baby boy. Sending you all my love and hugs and kisses, Mum xxxxxxxx

Hello my darling.
You came to me in a dream this morning. It was so real and when I woke up it was like you were with me again. You were so alive and your eyes were really bright. You were driving a big silver car, and looked so smart in your navy jumper! It was so good to speak to you....the first time since you went away. I have been feeling very sad...but also happy in a strange way all day. Please come back to me again soon. I love and miss you so much my beautiful boy xxxxxxx

James, a note from a friend of your Mum

James, you were taken so suddenly and have left behind my dearest friend and your lovely mum Joan. I know you are in a better place now, but want you to know that she, as well as your Dad Keith, Kyle your brother and the rest of your family and friends miss you so much. I promise I will look after your Mum until she can be with you again.

Much love

ask mum how she is

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before
But from now until she dies
She'll tell a whole lot more

Ask My mum how she is
And because she can't explain
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain

Ask My Mum how she is
She'll say "I'm Alright"
If that's the truth then tell me
Why does she cry each night?

Ask My Mum how she is
She seems to cope so well
She didn’t have a choice you see
Nor the strength to yell

Ask My Mum how she is
"I'm fine. I'm well, I'm coping"
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken

She'll love me all her life
I loved her all mine
But if you ask her how she is
She'll lie and say she's fine

I am here in Heaven
I cannot hug from here
If she lies to you DON'T listen
Hug her and hold her near

On the day we meet again
We'll smile and I'll be bold
I'll say, " You're lucky to get in here Mum,
With all the lies you told!"

Every day and every night
when you feel the need to hold me tight,
Just blow a kiss into the sky
for I will be that close by.
In the heavens throughout the day
I watch over you and hear you pray.
I see you smile and shed a tear
for you know that I'm still near.
I am the angel of your eye
I am your angel in the sky.

I lost my daughter Vicky in 2004, and the same as you its 4 years, and the pain is no easier, its the only thing you think of, all day every day, sending my love to James, he is in a better place, and one day you will be reunited again, thinking of you, and sending you love and hugs. Just remember you are not alone, even though it feels that way. I know James is watching over you. Love Julie (Victoria Amy Langley mum) x x xx

A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
