PLEASE READ, Myself and my husband would like to say a huge thank you to everyone for all the
gifts,photo's,candles and tributes left for our precious angel on his 1st angel birthday. Today has
been so hard but its so comforting to know that so many people on GTS care so much. Thank you so
much from the bottoms of our hearts. God bless you all. xxx

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

My Surviving Mum
My Mum is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night
when all others are in bed.

I watch her lay awake at night
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.

But like the sands on the beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mum,
who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others...
a smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see
tears flowing from her eyes.

My mum tries to cope with death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows
it is her way to survive.

As I watch over my surviving mum
through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forevermore.

I know that doesn't help her...
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
and show her that you care.

For no matter what she says...
no matter what she feels.
My surviving mum has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal.

✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿

✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿

✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿

✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿

✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿

✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿

✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿

'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
✿ The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, i'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your son-- did he come back alright?'✿

✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿

✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿

✿ Lest we forget......✿

The sky is filled with Angels
With puffy lacy wings
The remnants of God's beauty
With treasures they now bring


Each one of them a Guardian
That travels in the sky
To watch throughout eternity
Their parents from on high


Smiles that come from Angels
They fall like crystal rain
Eases earthly burdens
Lifting all life's pain


Halos so astounding
That glitter gold each day
Following their loved ones
In such a perfect way


Wings in gentle breezes
That fall from up above
Kissing every parent
With everlasting love


Angels soar through heaven
With everlasting light
Looking down from heaven
Saying their "goodnights"


Kissing all who loved them
So gently on the face
This life's tender mercy
Each parent can embrace


Wings and shiny halos
Travel from on high
Surrounding all their loved ones
They never say good-bye. love always

LIFE IS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.



THE SUN STILL RISES IN THE EAST
AND DARKNESS FALLS AT NIGHT
BUT NOTHING NOW SEEMS QUITE THE SAME
EACH DAY IS NOT SO BRIGHT
THE BIRDS STILL SING, THE FLOWERS GROW
THE BREEZE STILL WHISPERS, TOO
BUT IT WILL NEVER, EVER BE
THE SAME WORLD WITHOUT YOU
IT,S SO SAD THAT YOU HAD TO GO
YOUR LEAVING CAUSED SUCH PAIN
BUT YOU WERE VERY SPECIAL
AND EARTH,S LOSS IS HEAVEN,S GAIN.

LOVE TO YOU ALWAYS TRACEY XXXX
