I am off to Canada on sunday and will be back on the 2nd of feb. I will still try to light candles
as and when i can while i'm out there.
If u light a candle for miles, would you be so kind to light a candle for his little sister chloe
sturgess and their cousin Marcus Holmes. Thankyou.
Miles Aaron Rawlins died on the 20th July 1988. He was 171/2 months old. Miles' problems began when
he was three days old, the first problem being that he didn't wake up or even cry. He was put into
intensive care, as he seemed really floppy, like a ragdoll and he couldn't suck from a bottle, so he
had to be tube fed. He weighed 8lb 6oz when he was born and only weighed 13lb 2oz when he died. he
was the size of a six month old. He had every test going, to try and find out what was causing the
problems, he had chest infection after chest infection and eventually died from bronchial pneumonia.
It was thirteen years after he died, i was told that he had Rett Syndrome like my daughter Chloe
Sturgess. In 1988 Rett Syndrome wasn't known about in this country.
Miles was a lot like Chloe, he was always very happy. He only ever cried twice in his life. He loved
to be around men and other children. He was also like Chloe in the way of he loved himself, he would
just stare at himself in the mirror for ages. Miles was a perfect baby, apart from all his problems.
Miles was my first baby, and to lose him was devastating. The worst thing of all was i didn't even
know what was wrong with him. I had to wait for seven years before i had another baby. That baby was
Chloe. I believed she was normal, but once she got to eight months old, thats when things started
going wrong. By the time she got to five, i knew that i had been here before, it was just happening
a lot slower. I was never able to move on from Miles because of Chloe having the same problems. Both
of these children were very loving and i hope that they are now both looking after each other.
Tribute For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit On Sunday For Monday
My Very Special 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.
Dad’s Cry Too….
I cannot ease your aching heart Dad,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk Dad,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you Dad,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here Dad,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile
An Angel From Heaven
God sent me an angel from heaven above
It's filled with complete unconditional love
It watches and follows wherever I go
If I'm happy or sad this little angel does know
It climbs upon my lap and wipes away all my tears
One look in those eyes wipes away all my fears
For in those soft gentle eyes there’s something I see
Which speaks to me silently 'you always have me'
As those soft gentle kisses bring a smile to my face
And a love in my heart which can't be replaced
It continues to tell me in it's own special way
Of how much it loves me as it begins to say
'At night I will cuddle by your side while you sleep
My life is to love you, this promise I keep
I'll wake you come morning with kisses galore
You'll giggle and laugh and ask me for more'
'When sadness you feel or life lets you down
I'll do whatever it takes to wipe off your frown
I'll show you some tricks, I'll bring you my toy
Or rest my head in your lap, if this brings you joy'
'If sickness should keep you in bed for the day
I'll stay right beside you, we don't have to play
And if going for walks is something you do
I'll be your companion take me with you'
I'll try hard to show you my love is so strong
I'll try only to please you, I'll try not to do wrong
If a mistake I should make, then I ask this of you
Remember that angels can make mistakes too'
'I'll ask not much of you, it's for love that I yearn
Because loves what god taught me to give in return
It's all unconditional and comes straight from the heart
And my promise I give you till death do us part'
'So this is my story one I wanted to share
Of my littlest angel who's always right there
This littlest angel that I'm so thankful of
Yes this littlest angel of unconditional love'

Angela Christopher’s Very Proud Mum
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ A Place Where Children Are Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Nite Nite Angel Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
What kind of place would heaven be Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
With all its streets of gold Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
If all the souls That dwell up there Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
like yours and mine were old Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
How strange would heaven's music sound
when harps begin to ring Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
If children were not gathered round Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
to help the angels sing Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
THANKS A MILLION!!!!
I am so pleased to have my computer back I have really really missed lighting my candles & messages for Christopher I miss him so much.
I would like to thank each and every one of you
that have continued to light candles, leave tributes & photographs for Christopher while my computer has been getting fixed.
It has really annoyed me that I have been unable
to light my candles & tributes for all your wonderful angels.
I have missed being in touch with all of you,
and not being able to read all the lovely messages
you leave for Christopher & I they really do mean such a lot to me.
It will take me awhile to read all the messages I have missed but I will read each and every one of them once again thank you all for your support
it is very much appreciated you are all so very kind
A part of us is missing
And there is nothing we can do
The part of us that’s missing,
My dearest Angel is you

IT'S SO GOOD TO BE BACK ON-LINE
HAPPY EASTER XXX
SKY BUNNIES
() ()
('.')
(')_(')
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song

Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day

A LITTLE HUG ♥♥♥
A little hug from me to you
To make you smile
When your feeling blue,
To make you happy
When your sad
To let you know life aint so bad
Now I have given
A hug to you
Somehow I feel
Much better too
Hugs are better
When they there shared
So pass this on to show you care...
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
MY LITTLE ANGEL
You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
FOUR CANDLES
The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
The second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.
The fourth candle is just for being you
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
GOOD-BYE
I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.
Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”
So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.
But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.
You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.
When your time comes,
To join me up above.
We will be reunited,
And still, we’ll have our love.
♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥HX♥
I CAN'T REMEMBER
Just a line to say I'm living
That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful
And mixed up in my head.
I got used to arthritis,
To my dentures I'm resigned,
I can manage my bifocals,
But God, I miss my mind.
For sometimes I can't remember,
When I stand at the foot of the stair
If I must go up for something
Or have I just come down from there?
And before the fridge so often,
My poor mind is filled with doubt,
Have I just put the food away,
Or have I come to take some out?
And there's the time when it is dark
With my nightcap on my head,
I don't know if I'm retiring,
Or just getting out of bed.
If it's my turn to write you,
There's no need for getting sore,
I may think that I have written
And don't want to be a bore.
Remember that I love you
And wish that you were near.
Now it is nearly mail time,
So I must say goodbye dear.
There I stand beside the mailbox,
With face so very red,
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I had opened it instead.

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

MEMORIES
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
MY CASTLE
Can you see my castle
Up here in the sky
Its got big gold gates
That sparkle in my eyes
Can you see my garden
It’s full of red flowers
And they smell beautiful
They hold magic powers
I have many new friends
That are all like me
They too are an angel
Flying high and free
They watch over family’s
That like me left behind
And send them angel kisses
They are friends hard to find
I’m glad I’m in heaven
And that I am at peace today
Yes I miss my family dear
But I had to go away
God picked me from many
And said that I’m one of the best
And I had completed my lives journey
And that I had past all the tests
So I deserve this castle
That god gave to me
And one day if your lucky
This castle you will see.
NATURE'S WONDERS
Have you ever wondered
what makes the wind blow?
Could it be our loved ones
blowing us a kiss?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the stars shine?
Is it our loved ones keeping watch
over us while we sleep?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the skies cry?
Could it be our
loved ones missing us?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the sun shine?
Is it our loved ones
giving us a warm hug?
Have you ever wondered
what makes the ocean waves
come pounding to shore?
Could it be our loved ones
wanting to touch us once more?
There are so many of natures wonders
and do we really know why?
Is there a higher power
making sure we always remember
The loved one we’ve lost
and shall never forget.
LIGHT A CANDLE
Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the graveside.
They are somewhere else
radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world
where there is no darkness, no pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left
this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden.
Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame,
in your hearts they will always belong.
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥
A smile is cheer from you to me,
The cost is nothing its given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
Its the only thing you keep when you give it away.

A MOTHER'S DAY MESSAGE
Dear Mum,
Mother's day will soon be here,
Oh, Mum, I do miss you!
You've been on my mind all day today.
Just yesterday, I was out shopping,
Found myself looking at Mother's Day cards.
Then, bam, it all came back to me.
Mum, it's been so hard.
Many memories of you and me
Have been coming back, flooding my mind;
Every laugh, hug, and tear.
You truly were one of a kind.
Mum, I'll be sending you a message
This Mother's Day.
It will arrive on an angel's wing.
All my love flying straight to you,
Many smiles I hope it brings.
I want you to know
I haven't forgotton you.
Alive in my heart you'll always stay.
Know that my message is wrapped in much love,
And contains many hugs & kisses for you on this Mother's Day.

"You Were Taken On Angel's Wings":
"You were taken on angel's wings
As you sweetly and quietly slept
And returned to heaven before we knew
That you had even left
Our hearts are heavy and sorrowed
That our time with you was so brief
For you were our gift of heaven's light
That is now replaced with grief
But not so much that we won't be grateful
For every second you were here
You filled our hearts with so much joy
Treasured memories we'll hold forever dear
And though we weren't blessed to see you grow up
We were blessed to see you smile
And hold you lovingly in our arms ..."

"You Were 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 were 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
