Daniel was driving his family's business van when it collided with a Land Rover, which was pulling a
trailer.
♥The gift of life is given, then its cruelly snatched away♥
♥It leaves so many broken hearts & sadness, come what may♥
♥Especially now at Christmas, which you loved with all your heart♥
♥The thought of you not being here is tearing us apart♥.
♥And yet we must be thankful, for the happy times we spent♥
♥When love & laughter filled the air, before the magic went♥
♥The pictures are so clear today, of a happy smiling face♥
♥The kind of perfect loveliness, which no-one can replace♥
♥This little Christmas message is to let you know for sure♥
♥The love that’s felt for you lives on, and will forever more.♥
Sending much love andstrenghtto you Daniel and your lovely family to help get them through this very difficult time. Your not alone XXXXXX
For you Kim and Daniel
Son
I remember the first day back then
When your life had just begun
And the midwife smiled at me
And said here you have a son
Your little heart was beating
Your skin was soft and pink
And i was proud as punch that day
And im sure that god gave me a wink
Years passed by you grew fast
And you was the bestest son of all
And i was blessed to have you
A son that stood so tall
And now i sit here weeping
As ive lost the son i had
And no amount of comfort
Can replace the love, and im sad
I want you back besides me
To tell you that its all ok
I cant understand why your gone
Or why god took you away
I want to relive them moments
Of the day that you were born
Just to change the way life was
Instead of you being torn
I will find you one day son
And i shall get my answers why?
But till then i have my memorys
Until the day i die

Sending loving thoughts to all of you xxx
'Twas the Night Before Christmas'
~ For Bereaved Parents ~
'Twas the night before Christmas and I dreaded the days,
That I knew I was facing - the holiday craze.
The stores were all filled with holiday lights,
In hopes of drawing customers by day and by night.
As others were making their holiday plans,
My heart was breaking - I couldn't understand.
I had lost my dear child a few years before,
And I knew what my holiday had in store.
When out of nowhere, there arose such a sound,
I sprang to my feet and was looking around,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The sight that I saw took my breath away,
And my tears turned to smiles in the light of the day.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a cluster of butterflies fluttering near.
With beauty and grace they performed a dance,
I knew in a moment this wasn't by chance.
The hope that they gave me was a sign from above,
That my child was still near me and that I was loved.
The message they brought was my holiday gift,
And I cried when I saw them in spite of myself.
As I knelt closer to get a better view,
One allowed me to pet it - as if it knew -
That I needed the touch of its fragile wings,
To help me get through the holiday scene.
In the days that followed I carried the thought,
Of the message the butterflies left in my heart -
That no matter what happens or what days lie ahead,
Our children are with us - they're not really dead.
Yes, the message of the butterflies still rings in my ears,
A message of hope - a message so dear.
And I imagined they sang as they flew out of sight,
'To all bereaved parents - We love you tonight!'
Much Love to all of you XXXX
Hi Dan
Your mum is having an extremely difficult time and needs so much to feel a big hug from you to let her know that you are safe and if your happy, which I know you will be nearing now, can you please get this message to her Ask Naomi how to do it because she did it for me, Mum is in another place at the moment and will not see the signs, Please try harder it wont cure her pain but it will bring her comfort to know that you are, as I have told her, still by her side and that you always will be until you meet again. Its understandable what she is going through the pain is horrendous and one you may not feel as you dont miss us because you are still with us and can see what we are doing. But there is no pain like the loss of a child and though you are safe it does not stop your mum,dad and Natalie yearning and aching for you. Please Daniel try your best to let them know your around. If you have met Naomi which Im sure you will have please give her a hug and kiss from me, and I send them both to you too. Be Happy Daniel keep giving your lovely family love and strength to help them face each difficult day. Much Love XXX
Please don't tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost your child too
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal
Because that is just not true
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place
I want him here with me
Please don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face
Beyond today I cannot see
Please don't tell me it is time to move on
Because I cannot
Please don't tell me to face the fact he is gone
Because denial is something I can't stop
Please don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had
Because I wanted more
Please don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad
I will never be as I was before
What you can tell me is you will be here for me
That you will listen when I talk about Daniel
You can share with me my precious memories
You can even cry with me for a while
And please don't hesitate to say his name
Because it is something I long to hear everyday
Please realise that I can never be the same
But if you stand by me
You may like the new person I will become someday

You Are Not Alone at Christmas
You may feel you are all alone
There is little joy for you
You have been through such a hard time
It has sapped all strength from you.
Christmas can bring happiness
But you’ve lost the will to care.
What’s the point in Christmas
When your sparkle is not there?
Deep within a light shines
Although, dimly lit is there
Believe me it will shine brightly
With gentle love and care.
There is someone who holds a candle
To guide and help you through
He is your Guardian Angel
Dedicated just to you.
He knows the pain you’re feeling
Your pain is his pain too.
His wings are wrapped around you now
Inner strength he gives to you.
You are not alone at Christmas
Or on any other day.
Your Angel stands beside you
He will never go away.
Kim I hope this gives you a bit of comfort as it has me if not please remove it.
Love to you all xxx
Hello Daniel I hope you are happy and have made many new friends. I met your wonderful family last week and I think it helped your mum to talk about you. She talks of you with so much pride and love and your beautiful photo,s are everywhere. I bet all the girl angels are flocking round you, you are a handsome young man. You were taken from your loving family way too soon at 17 Daniel and I hope you can fulfil all your dreams where you are now angel. Please stay close to all of them as they will keep you close to them. You are in the thoughts and hearts of many people. Sweet dreams handsome angel. xxx
Sent with love for your Mum and Dad
I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
than I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way.
Stay close to your mum and Dad Daniel. They are missing you so much. Let them feel your strength and love. xxxx
Hey Daniel, thought I would come and have a chat, I was with your mum yesterday, though I know you will know that because you will have been with us. Your mum is having a really hard time Daniel and I know she would love to feel you round her, Naomi let us know that she was close by can you please help your mum, dad and Nat. They will all be engulfed by the immense love that they have for you Daniel, and that fills the hole where their hearts used to be, though it is a heavy thing to carry as it should have been shared over the years that you were to grow in to a young man, they love you very much Daniel and they always will. I know you will be adapting to your new home and in time you will be happy as Naomi is, but you are still your mums baby and she will always be in pain tho mum and dad will never be truly happy again. You see that whilst things have changed for you we believe and I know that there a comfort for you but we like your mum and dad are left with the pain of you being gone,and its something that we will never come to terms with because the yearning and aching to hold you and see you never goes away. Your mum, dad and Natalie miss everything about you, even the usualy family squabbles about bedrooms etc, they would give anything to have all that back as it would mean that you would be right there with them and there lives would be whole again. You were and always will be a major part of your family, and though I know that you have not left them and that your only a thought away and that because you are thought of every waking moment you are always with them, because they can not see you the pain is immense Your mum and dad are strong people and are doing great but a little nudge from you would bring so much comfort for them Ask our Naomi she does it all the time tho not as much as when she first went home. I do hope you have met, in fact Im sure you will have by now, look after each other and be happy until we are all re united again Keep your home clean as your mum might have something to say about it her being a clean freak as you know lol Much love Daniel please be happyI know you will be.
