My son Darrach was born on the 8th march 2008 and weighed 5lb 1oz. He had congential heart disease called Tetralogy of Fallots which is common in children with Downs Syndrome. He had two shunts fitted which allowed the blood flow to his lungs. In May Darrach was admitted to hospital with pneumonia where he spent one month in PICU a very scary time. Then in October Darrach had his full repair to his heart which went well. The next day Darrach has a cardiac arrest. He fought very hard for a week to stay with us but he had other complicatons like kidney failure. Then he got pneumonia again only this time he couldn't fight it his little body was too tired. On the 4th Nov 2008 the angels came to take him and he fell asleep in my arms. Darrach was such a special wee man he had such a big personality and a smile that could light up a room. He touched so many hearts and anyone who met him fell in love with him. His big sister who is 2 1/2 insists Darrach is coming home if only this were true we would give anything to have him back. If only the angels could have waited a little bit longer. We love you wee man please give us the strengh we need to live our lives without you. xoxoxox

Boom, boom went the little green frog one day,
Boom, boom went the little green frog,
Boom, boom went the little green frog one day,
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom.

But we know frogs go swish la de da de da
Swish la de da de da
Swish la de da de da
We know frogs go swish la de da de da
They don't go Boom,Boom,Boom.

This is Darrach's favourite song, i promised i would sing it everyday. I hope you still love it as much as you did angel.
Every new day brings me closer to you Darrach, i love you with every beat of my heart, forever and always my special wee man xXx

Memories From a Fading Room

The room is bare now that you've gone away,
no warmth is there to touch my heart turned cold.
Aware that time won't find me without you,
I try to set aside those memories old.

Running fast and far, I seek to find,
a haven, where thoughts of you recede,
a sanctuary for my ailing soul ~
one moment's joy from sowing grieving's seed.

And there beyond the past the future lies,
a shining castle by the sea of time,
calling softly to me as I run ~
luring me with peace I hope to find.

But as I cross the threshold, there I pause.
Sadness slips across my thoughts in great dismay,
for there your absence grows and echoes loudly ~
in empty rooms that take you far away.

No memories there to cherish and to hold ~
only space and wind and air, without you there.
Return, I must, to rooms where you still linger.
Without you, life would be too hard to bear.

The room is bare now that you've gone away,
but within my heart you'll always live and thrive.
Your memories will walk beside me always ~
to remind me you were once there by my side.

* ~ *

Give me the memories, for they have been left,
to bring me joy and laughter when you've gone.
I'll cherish them in sorrow, and in pleasure ~
and hold them closely 'til my life is done.

Happiness always looks small
While you hold it in your hand
But let it go
And you learn at once
How big and precious it was

~~~~~TO A PRECIOUS ANGEL~~~~~

╔═════════ೋღ♥ღೋ═════════╗

ೋღ♥ღೋ♥ Angel of the Heart ♥ೋღ♥ღೋ


When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day,or the darkness of the night,
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

When something inside you makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart,
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your pillow,in the dark.

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

When you're alone and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung,
When waking up in the morning,and troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel,before a new day has begun.

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear,
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near,
I am no longer able to be here in body,but I'm with you every day,
As my loving heart, my soul,and my Spirit, will never be far away.

Written by Pamela Hall.

Yesterday afternoon



Tomorrow

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today

While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love

But when I walked through heaven's gates I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne
He said "This is eternity
And all I've promised you"

I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart

Saturday afternoon

I love you so so much Darrach xxx

good morning my precious wee man, it's so cold this morning and the ground is White with frost. Can,t really complain as the snow has stayed away, thank goodness, you know how much mummy hates the snow.
I wish I could see you play wee man,I just want to see what you would look like now and know what all your favourite things are. That's normal things mummy,s should know Darrach but I don't know those things about my little boy. That is so unfair and cruel and my heart breaks so much for you. We all love you and miss you so so much and I look forward to the day I hold you in my arms again, that will be priceless.
Well my precious wee man, go and bounce on the fluffiest clouds and the biggest rainbows, have the best fun ever. Catch our specially kisses and hold them close to your beautiful heart Darrach and know how much we love you xXx

We love you with every beat of our hearts and with every breath in our bodies, always and forever xXx

Saturday morning

TRY TO REMEMBER ME WITH A SMILE..
*
MY SPIRIT IS STILL AROUND YES I MISS YOU TOO
DO YOU THINK THAT WHEN I LEFT EARTH I WOULD JUST FORGET ABOUT YOU
WHAT I AM ASKING OF YOU IS WHEN YOU REMEMBER ME TRY TO SMILE
WE SHARED SOME SMASHING MEMORIES I KNOW THEY STILL MAKE ME SMILE

I KNOW WE SHALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN,NO NOT YET
I TOLD YOU WHEN I GOT HERE SAFE I WOULD LET YOU KNOW AND I DID NOT FORGET
A FEW MESSAGES I HAVE SENT TO YOU ALONG THE MILKY WAY
I AM STILL THE ONE THAT CAN READ YOUR HEART I CAN SEE WHAT YOU SAY

GUESS WHAT I HAVE MET SO MANY FRIENDS OLD AND NEW
SOME HAVE BEEN IN PARADISE FOR A WHILE THEY SHOW ME WHAT TO DO
TRY TO OPEN YOUR MIND AND HEART YOU WILL HEAR MY VOICE
I KEEP ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK ME I AM HERE BY CHOICE

MY SPIRIT IS STRONGER NOW SO I CAN BE AROUND WHEN YOU NEED A HAND
I KNOW THAT WHEN I LEFT TO REACH THE WORLD THAT I CALL THE PROMISED LAND
THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE TWO WORLDS APART I SEE YOU WHEN YOU CRY
I CAN SHED MY TEARS ANYWHERE THEY DESOLVE SO MY EYES ARE DRY
*
TRY NOT TO WORRY NOW UNDERSTAND THAT I AM FREE OF ANY PAIN
THE DAY THAT YOU JOIN ME WE SHALL BE ONE AGAIN
ANY OF THE THINGS THAT COME INTO YOUR MIND THAT MAKE YOU FEEL SAD
REPLACE THEM WITH ANOTHER HAPPY MEMORY NOT EVERYTHING WAS BAD

LOOK AROUND YOU NOW OPEN YOUR EYES SO THAT YOU CAN SEE
THAT I STILL HAVE WAYS OF SHOWING YOU I AM AROUND MY SPIRIT IS SO FREE
I LEAVE A KISS FOR YOU IT SHALL REACH YOU WHEN THE WIND BLOWS YOUR WAY
TRY TO REMEMBER ME WITH A SMILE NOW ENJOY LIVING EACH DAY.....

Think of me


When you walk out into the cold wind of winter
When you see a leaf fall to the ground
Think of me

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

When you raise your face to the sunshine
When you notice spring flowers all around
Think of me

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

For I will always be there with you
I’ll know of your sorrows and pain

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

Think of me as your guardian angel
Through days of dark clouds and rain

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

Think of me in all that you do
For I’ll always be there to carry you through

═ೋღ♥ღೋ══

Think of me
I am always there.

Friday morning


You think I've gone far away and life has lost its will,
But look around, I am right here, living with you still,
I watch your tears, I feel your pain, I see the things you do,
I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul it lives with you.
It gives me such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do,
And when you smile over bygone days, I smile right there with you,
For we are still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being,
Walking forward into life, though you are only seen,
And in the stillness of the night, when the pain really starts,
Stretch out a little with your mind, and draw me to your heart,
I am always close by your side, you have nothing at all to fear
And my love will always surround you until you join me here.....

Thursday morning

~~~~~TO A PRECIOUS ANGEL~~~~~

The flutter of your wings

~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~ *~♥x♥~

Sometimes when I'm very quiet
I can hear "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
The sound is like music to my ears
and it makes my heart sing
*~♥x♥~
When loneliness and emptiness
bring not a sound to hear
You know exactly what I need
as you flutter past my ear
*~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I'm very still
I can almost feel "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
Their feathery touch is like magic
and much peace and comfort it brings
*~♥x♥~
When I am left with no one
to hug or hold on to
You gently wrap me in your wings
and your love I feel is true
*~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I am all alone
and against the distant sky
I can almost see "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
It brings a tear of happiness to my eye
*~♥x♥~
When I look around and find not a soul
who cares if I live or die
You flutter your wings up in the clouds
and I find comfort in the sky
*~♥x♥~
You are my Guardian Angel
and when I hear, feel and see
This means you are close by my side
and are watching over me
*~♥x♥~
Sometimes when I feel so alone
you remind me that I'm loved
My angel sent down from heaven
with much love from up above
*~♥x♥~
The love and closeness I sense from you
is all the reassurance I need
That I am someone very special
and I will follow where you lead

~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~* ~♥x♥~ *~♥x♥~
