My son was taken tragically from me on 17th April 2004 he was one of five, 2 older brothers and 2
youger sisters Darren,Christopher Emma and Tamsyn.He was loved and well liked by everyone that knew
him and a very popular member of staff at Argos where he worked ,everyone used to comment on how
helpful and polite he was .He had two little nephews that he adored and they in turn adored him in
fact one of them are named after him and he was also his godfather,he was so proud that day.Matthew
suffered with asthma from when he was 19 and it was an asthma attack that tragically took him from
us ,although I am 99.9% sure that had his girlfriend taken his inhaler to him when he beckoned her
at the window, that I would still have him today. She didn't even have the decency to ring me and
tell me, always remember how she looked, so sheepish when i got to the hospital with her red
bloodshot eyes couldn't even look at me . Only kept in touch til we got the post mortem results then
seen her briefly at the funeral where she didn't acknowledge anyone .She went around telling people
that she was pregnant but when my daughter offered to go to the drs with her declined ,she lied
from day one and although i didn't like her tried for Matt's sake ,he had to go to hospital about
three weeks before he died as he had a burn on his arm which he said he had burnt on her hair
straighteners well that was his version but I have my own thoughts on it.when we got given his
mobile phone at the hospital my daughter and daughter-in-law was looking through it for friends
numbers there was txts on it that thay tried keeping from me like "get my bag it's in the lounge
and jump to it"so now you will understand why I feel so bitter and if i still had him then he could
have had a little niece to dote on as well ,as his youngest sister had a little girl Emily 15
months ago .The sad thing was that we never got to say goodbye.Matthew just to let you know that I
am so proud of you and will love you forever, we know that you are looking after our little Rebekah
for us Love you always and forever Your heartbroken Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Always watching over us as we go our way,

Never taking their eyes from us a minute of the day,

Guardians who are here to keep us from all harm

Each time we face danger, darkness, or alarm,

Looking out for us through each trial we face,

Sent straight from heaven, by His mercy, love, and grace.

SPECIAL ANGEL MATTHEW XXXX

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came shining through...

It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I felt less alone...

On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on...

So though I cannot kiss your face
or hug you oh so tight
I'll look to Heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight...

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.

ΖΈΜ΅Μ‘ΣœΜ΅Μ¨Μ„Ζ· Our Reunion in Heaven ΖΈΜ΅Μ‘ΣœΜ΅Μ¨Μ„Ζ·



We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.

How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.

A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.

Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.


Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November



FOR MONDAY



The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.


FOR TUESDAY


Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.


FOR WEDNESDAY


A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.


FOR THURSDAY


Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.



FOR FRIDAY


The Watcher

They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.

Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.



FOR SATURDAY


As We Look Back


As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems

And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things

Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.



FOR SUNDAY


To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear

Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

Shakespeare

God Bless you and mum.
