A VERY SPECIAL NEPHEW, COUSIN AND FRIEND.
Tragically taken from us on 22nd December 1994.
Will always miss you Deke. R.I.P..xxx
------------------------------------------------------
Derek was a lovely young guy, who went out to his so called friend's house on the 21st December 1994. He fell asleep on a chair that night in this person's house. On the morning of Dec 22nd 1994 this person stabbed him in the fermoral artery in his leg, then ran away and left him to bleed to death. Even though he admitted his guilt and also admitted having 2 knives, he was never convicted, and they call this Justice.The justice system is a joke.
New Life
We lost you 16yrs ago today but we gained a new life today--my new grandson, at last some happiness on this day as well as the saddness we feel at this time of year. Love and miss you xxx
Another year Derek and it isn't any easier.Love and miss you as much now as I did when you died.
R.I.P. Derek.You will never be forgotten.xxxx

a mums pain
I feel sadness
Each day when I awake
I wish to god you could tell me
There has been a big mistake.
My son was taken
From his mothers love
To live with the angels
In heaven up above
I did not have him with me
For the time I should have had
No longer can I hold him
Which makes me very sad?
The pain of losing my son
Shows in every single tear
I spend each day missing you
Longing to have you near
Life for me is sadness
Without you by my side
My Broken shattered heart
Is very hard to hide
People tell me that time is a healer
That the pain will go away
They don’t understand
That this pain is here to stay
For when you lose a child
There is nothing that can compare
The bond we had at their birth
Will never leave, it’s always there
The love a mother has
Runs so very deep
That love is so special
It’s in her heart to keep
A mother’s heart is broken
She is ripped apart inside
There is a part of her missing
It left when her child died
So please don’t tell me to get over it
For this I can not do
Unless you understand my feelings
And this has happened to you
Only another mother who has lost a child
Can understand my pain
Because she also suffers daily
As the memories of her child remain
We are a band of mothers
Whose hearts will never heal?
For the loss of our children
Is for us, so very real.
