Daniel Walton

I lay in the dark, I cry alone.
Arms wrapped around me tight, but they’re my own.
I feel not the warmth of my child.
I feel no love, I am broken inside.
I am lost with no place to hide.

I’m alone, each day and night.
I ask for my angel, but He does not come.
So I lay here broken, my body so numb.

I'm in a new world, I know not how to survive.
I'm dead, and yet I’m alive.

I don't know how to live this new life.
Now that my child has gone,
So I lay here alone and broken without my child and I have to carry on.

Anon.

Your all always in my thoughts, sending you much love and big hugs. XX

We’ve got to go on living
We know that this is true
but it's just a mere existence
It's nothing without you.

You were everything in life to us
Our Son, brother and friend
And although you had to leave us
Our love will never end.

But one day we will meet again
Don't worry Daniel - We'll wait
Just promise us you'll be there
waiting at the gate.

Daniel I feel your mum is having a terrible time right now, this roller coaster is the worse ever to be put on and it doesnt stop, its dark and lonely and your lovely mum & family need some Daniel Love Hugs and Strength. Please Daniel let them know you are still right there with them and will be until your all together again. XXXX

Dear Mr. Hallmark
I am writing to you from Heaven
And though it must appear
A rather strange idea
I see everything from here.

I just popped in to visit
Your shops to find a card
A card of love for my Mum
As this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought
Every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card
From a child who lives in Heaven.

She is still a Mother too
No matter where I reside
I had to leave she understands
But oh the tears she cried.

I thought that if I wrote to you
That you would come to know
That though I live in Heaven now
I still love my Mummy so.

She talks with me and dreams with me
We still share laughter too
Prayers are our way of speaking now
Would you see what you can do?

My Mum carries me in her heart
Her tears she hides from sight
She thinks of me and misses me
Sometimes far into the night.

She plants flowers in her garden
There my memory dwells
She helps other grieving parents
Trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark
Though I no longer live on earth
I must try to find a way
To remind her of her worth.

She needs to be honoured
And remembered too
Just like children on earth
For their Mums today do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark
I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do
To you I’ll leave the rest.

Find a way to tell her
How much she means to me
Until I can do it myself
When we’re joined in Eternity.

My Mom doesn't know I'm watching her
but I'm watching her just the same.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
at the mention of my name.

She says it sounds like music to her ears
and be heard over a crowd.
Oh, I hear each tear fall on her face,
when my name is said aloud.

I watch her stumble through each day
as she wishes the day would end.
And I hear each tear fall on her face
as she talks of me with her friends.

But there are few who truly understand.
Oh this I've heard her proclaim.
And I hear each tear fall on her face.
Will my Mom ever be the same?

I know that her smile can light up a sky,
But I don't see that smile today.
Oh, but I hear each tear fall on her face,
her blus skies have turned to grey.

Oh I send to her my warmest hug
with the rays of the morning sun.
Then I won't hear a tear fall on her face,
for I shall erase them one by one.

Yes, my Mom doesn't know I'm watching her,
but I'm watching her just the same.
And if I hear a tear fall on her face
I'll just softly whisper her name.

Always in my heart and thoughts XXXXX

You Are The Pride Of Our Hearts


"It's so difficult to let you go
Though death's left us no other choice
We're mourning the loss of never seeing you again
Of never hearing your precious voice

It seems that in life there are certain times
Which are more than "simply unfair"
When our hearts search out for better answers
But cannot seem to find them there

And such is the case at your passing
Contemplating the briefness of your life
All the great things that you still would have done
If you'd been granted a little more time

It isn't difficult to envision the possibilities
For look at what you'd already done
The difference you'd made in so many lives
In all that you had become

Perhaps you were simply too good for this life
So God called you back to Heaven
That your life needed no further testament
Than the goodness you'd already given

But regardless of the reason
For why you had to depart
We'll miss you every single day of our lives
For you are The Pride Of Our Hearts!

Thank you for being our example
Inspiring us through your courage and drive
We'll cherish all the precious memories
You lovingly created in our lives

For Kim with love

I would give my life to have you back,
said his Mum
I know you would, said her son.
I cry each night for you, said his Mum
And I catch all of your tears said her son
I pray for the day that I can see you again,
said his Mum
Close your eyes and you can see me,
said her son
I am always just a dream away.............

You are the first person who loved me,
and you are the first person I loved.
You were always there when I needed you,
and you always knew when I needed a hug.
I am here for you now, mum
in your heart and in your soul.
I did not take your heart with me
instead I left mine with you to hold.
One day I will take your hand
and lead you to paradise,
but until then my beautiful mother,
when you want to see me
you only need to close your eyes.

I am always just a dream away.....

Hey Dan, you were so lucky that you saw so much of the world, Lucky that you have such a doting family hun, I look at your and Naomis page and I am reduced to tears, two young beautiful people from totaly different back grounds Yet beautiful and deeply loved and missed all the same.
Life is so hard for your family without you Dan, we dont expect to lose our children, we teach you everything about the dangers of life, yet we can not shield you from the unthinkable. Your family is stilll in shock Dan, your mum cant find you and truly needs too. I know you will be happy now and will have adjusted to your new life, you will pop in on your doting family as soon as they wake every day as your the first thought on their mind, by hey, please believe me Its so darn difficult to face each day without you, Please Dan, let your lovely family know that you are there right beside them to help them through the darkest days of their life, that you will never leave them and that it is ok for them to keep moving on, that though your not their in the flesh to keep going with them, you are their in spirit right by their side, to stay the course and that one day you will be the light at the end of this very dark tunnel to welcome them back into your life again. I feel deeply for your family Dan theres a tight connection and Im hoping we will be friends forever now. Say high to my girl Naomi and just as your family adore cherish and love you pls tell Naomi we do her too. XXXXX

Daniel

I thought I saw your face today, in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say, "Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today, then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say, "There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today, in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say, "The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart, in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say, "The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me, for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say, "They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so, and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say, "They're with you every day."

The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars, will forever be around,
Reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace they've finally found.

I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms, you think I am gone forever.
You recall how I looked when I left this place, and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you... me..............
I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us forever by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead?
.................

You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories, which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by.
I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.
.............

I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a son to be proud of, I am still your son and soul mate.
Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.
Until we meet again...
