Our memories will last a lifetime and our 
enormous love for Ross forever. 
Our hearts are truly broken, by the unbearable pain, the emptiness and the massive void we are left with, His loss has crippled our souls. Our hearts are deeply and mortally wounded for life. We are devastated by the loss of Ross and our lives will never be the same without him. When we lost him, we lost a very special part of our family, he was the world to us and there are no words to ease the pain!. Ross you are missed every minute of every day. You never get over losing a child, time does so little except continually remind us each day, how much we have lost. The pain does not subside as time passes and we cannot escape it. The bond of love can never be broken. We are not ready or prepared to say goodbye! We will never understand how life can be so cruel. There are so many things about him that no one will ever know. But, we want people to know how much joy he brought to our lives and how special he was to us and will be forever. My darling Son we are so privileged to have had you in our lives  and you will live in our hearts foreverxx

 LIGHT THIS CANDLE

I light this candle in memory of you,
My life, my child, my heart,
May it shine bright and true,
As you did from the start.
In it's flickering flame I see,
The life we shared together,
The love and wonderful memories
That I'll carry with me forever.
I light this candle in memory of you,
I look up to the Heavens where you are,
I see the lights of Heaven shining bright too,
But you candle shines brighter than the usual star.
My child you are still so much a part of me,
Even though you are no longer here,
You live on in my heart where you will always be,
No matter what, I will always keep you there.
On this special night, I light this candle for you,
And I hope every one who sees it will know,
How very special you are, how much you are missed too,
And will remember you with me when they see it's golden  glow

YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED

You will be remembered when the flowers bloom in spring
And in the summertime remembered
In the fun that summer brings

You will be remembered
When fall brings leaves of gold
In the wintertime,remembered,in the stories that are told

And you will be remembered,each day right from the start
For the memories that we once shared
Forever live within my heart

I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME

Confusion reigns within my heart
Within my soul
Because I know I cannot ever be
The woman I once was.

How can I be complete and whole
When part of me is gone....
A special part...a precious part
The part that was my son.

Conceived in love how gratefully
You were born to me...filled with pride
A bit of my heart, a bit of my soul
Went with you when you died.

One cannot lose a child to death
And still remain the same,
Untouched by tears of emptiness,
Undaunted by the pain.

The cruelest nightmares come to pass
Life's bitterest pill to swallow
In light of this, I can endure
All else that's yet to follow.

There's nothing that can fill
the empty spaces that remain
I've tried and failed so many times
I cannot try again.

No trying to regain the past
That's all a bitter sham
It's time that I resign myself
To being who I am

To be the woman I've become
(No acting out a part).....
A mother with a shattered dream
And a broken heart.

 Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break, all in vain,
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of the heart.



God knows how much we miss him,
Never shall his memory fade;
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where he is laid.



Time may wipe out many things,
But this it wipes out never -
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together



Just thinking of the thoughtful things,
That you have said and done,
And loving you a little more,
Dear son, for each and every one.

Sometimes I sense a little flutter.
Like a shadow swiftly slipping by.
Or I hear a silent, gentle murmur.
Like a soft whisper from out the sky.

Sometimes... I hear you call my name,
Or clearly see your face before me.
And I feel that you are with me still.

Then peacefully... I come to know
As I am thinking happy thoughts of you
You, my son, are thinking of me too.
Loving memories fill my aching heart.
As dreaming dreams of what could be.
Or might have been, if you were here.

My Angel Son

Theres an angel on my shoulder

and I know it must be you

A whisper in my ear from..

a voice I always knew.

Sometimes a gentle breeze, where

it never should have been.

You let me know your with me,

From a place where time begins.

A touch when no ones there.

a flicker in my eye.

A rainbow where a storm has been,

in the, and your heart goes on in me,

from a place I cannot see.

Some may think I'm crazy, some

may not believe,

but I can feel your spirit,

I know you'll never leave.

Your wings wrap me in warmth,

your halo shows me light,

Your whispers keep me safe,

In the middle of the night.

It really does not matter

That no one else can see,

Just like in the days before,

It was always you and me.

The light in our lives is missing

A voice from our hearts is still,

A place inour hearts is empty,

That nothing will ever fill,

Many tears have fallen and many

more still flow,

For what it meant to lose you ,

no one will ever know

You gave us many gifts in life,

Some big and others small

But to have you for our Son was

The greatest gift of all

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child you left too soon,
Tho it may be true that we are apart
You will live forever in my heart.

God knows I want to hold you
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven,
And someday I will, again
Please know you'll never be forgotten
Until then.

 




We walked together you and I
AMother and her Son,
We had hopes and dreams for tomorrow
But tomorrow didn't come




We walked together you and IWe talked, we we laughed we loved
We shared so many happy times
And for that I thank the Lord above.





We walked together you and IBut only for a short time
For all too soon it ended
Leaving pieces of broken hearts behind.



And even though I miss you,
More than words can ever say,
I thank God I got to walk with you
Every precious moment of everyday...




In my dreams you are alive and well,Precious child precious child,
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell,
Precious child precious child
n my soul there is a hole
That can never be filled,
But in my heart there's hope,
Cos you are with me still!




In my heart you live on
Always there NEVER gone
Precious child you left too soon,
Tho it may be true we're apart
You will liver forever... in my heart.




In my plans I was first to leave ,
Precious child precious child
But I was left to grieve
Precious child, my precious child.




you,In my soul, there is a hole,
That never can be filled
But in my heart theres hope
And you are with me still!!



Hug From Heaven
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh,
It's a hug sent from heaven,
From our loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop,
Lands upon your nose
It's just a little angel's kiss
As fragile as a Rose.

When you hear a song that fills
With a feeling of sweet love,
It's a hug sent down from heaven
From someone special that we love.

So let your heart be joyful,
If you're lonley my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from heaven,
A broken heart will mend.




Oh today I light a candle for you,
The seasons come and go and...
I'm weary from the change
I keep on moving but...
You know it's not the same.




Do you hear me sing the songsWe used to sing?
You filled my life with wonder
Touched me with surprise.
I hold on to the life and love we knew,
Because that love will never die.





Forever we will miss you,
Forever we will cry,
Why did you have to leave this earth?
And gain your wings to fly.




You know we loved you dearly,More than anyone could know,
Why did you have to leave so son,
Why did you have to go?




Our hearts down here are broken,
And it can never mend
Forever we protected you 
Until the very end.

 


We pray to God for answers,
We talk to him everyday,
We hope you can hear us Lord
As on our knees we pray.




Take good care of our child up there,
He was so much wanted here,
Wrap your arms around him please,
And tell him that we care.



Let him know we love him
And will forevermore,
Keep him protected safe and warm,
All wrapped in love so pure










So deep are our memories
So precious they stay
No passing of time
Can take them away















 


If I could catch a rainbow, I would do it, just for you,
And, share with you, its beauty, on the days you're feeling blue.
If I could, I would build a mountain, you could call your very own.
A place to find serenity, a place just to be alone.

If I could, I would take your troubles, and toss them into the sea.
But, all these things, I'm finding, are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain, or catch a rainbow fair;
but, let me be, what I know best,
A Son, who's always there.

I promise to defend you, should the occasion ever rise,
And, I promise to wipe away the tears,
which might stream from your weeping eyes.

Let me be the trusted Son, the one that you know best.
I will never leave you, on that, you can surely rest 

Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen unheard but always near
Still loved still missed, so very dear











Silent memories keep you near
As time unfolds another year
Out of our lives you might have gone
But in our hearts you still live on






Wishing today as we wished before
That God could have spared you
many more
In our hearts  your memory is kept
To love, to cherish and to never forget!






 
 





 





  

  

  

 


 
 

 
  



 

 
One night I cried to Jesus

As I sat beneath the tree.

I looked into the open sky

And hoped He'd answer me.



I'm lost dear Lord

I've travelled far but still I seem to roam.

Please light the way and lead me, Lord

I need to go back home.



I told Him of my burdens

And of the sadness in my heart.

That from His gracious love

I'd never felt so far apart.



Why did you take my child, Lord?

I cannot understand.

No longer can I touch his face

Or hold his hand.



I'm angry, Lord, I'm missing him

I'm drowning in my sorrow.

Please help to heal my yesterday

And face each new tomorrow.



It was then I heard his gentle voice

And felt his presence near.

How I wanted so to hold him

As I cried another tear.



he said.. Mum, I'm an angel now

My spirit will be free.

I'm an angel now in heaven

So please don't cry for me.



I was chosen by our Lord above

And now I'm in His care.

Whenever you need me

Just look inside your heart

I promise to be there.



No one can ever take away

Our bond with one another.

For I'll always be your child

As you will always be my mother.



So if you cannot find your way

Or the road to home seems far.

Just look up to the Heavens

And I'll be your guiding star.



he said, Mummy, I'm an angel now

My spirit will be free.

I'm an angel now in Heaven

There's no need to cry for me
