To where you are xx / Mum, I Cherish All You Gave Me Everyday
To Where You Are
Who can say for certain Maybe you're still here I feel you all around me Your memory's so clear
Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak You're still an inspiration Can it be That you are my Forever love And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile to know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are
Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream And isn't faith believing All power can't be seen
As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me everyday 'Cause you are my Forever love Watching me from up above
And I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up To where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile To know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are
I know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are
The Gift of Someone Who Listens / Lisa Henrickson (Ireland's mommy )
Those of us who have traveled awhile Along this path called grief Need to stop and remember that mile, The first mile of no relief. It wasn't the person with answers, Who told us the ways to deal. It wasn't the one who talked and talked That helped us start to heal. Think of friends who quietly sat And held our hands in theirs, The ones who let us talk and talk And hugged away our tears. We need to always remember That, more than the words we speak, It's the gift of someone who listens That most of us desperately seek.
Just wanted to let you know you have touched my heart and thank you, always on my mind, in my thoughts, and prayers.
Why/ Amy (Freya's Mummy ) WHY is a word we often say. WHY did our child have to get meningitis? WHY did the most precious thing in our lives be snatched away from us? These questions will never be answered. Life just isn't fair but one day we will be with our babies again but untill then Matthew and Freya will be holding hands in heaven and i'm sure Matthew is making Freya laugh as she always liked a giggle.
"I'll lend to you for a little time A child of Mine" he said, "For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty two (one) or three: but will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me? He'll bring his CHARMS to gladden you and should his stay be brief, you'll have his loving memories as solace for your grief.
I cant not promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn, I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true and from all the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected YOU. Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain, nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, They will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness. We'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay; But should the angels call for him sooner than we've planned We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and TRY to understand."
You son is such a beautiful child, I bet heaven is even more wonderful with him apart of it.

3 years / Mum Burns (Mum)
My darling Matthew, if I think back 3 years it was our last day together, if only I could go back and have that last day with you again. Just one last hug and kiss, to be able to look at you and tell you how much I love you. I know I never can now but it doesnt stop me from wishing. As each birthday or anniversary comes round I wonder if it will get easier this year, people tell me it will, alas it didnt happen this year, my heart is breaking all over again. Maybe next year will be the year it gets easier. I love you my baby, as much today as I ever did Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Close
I LOST A LOVED ONE AND I JUST WANT TO RECITE THE POEM I CREATED AND READ. AND YES MY NAME IS ACTUALLY MATTHEW BURNS:
THE DAY YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE MY WORLD WAS BORN ANEW, I KENW THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL WOULD HAPPEN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, SO KEEP THIS IN A SPECIAL PLACE AND LOOK AT IT EACH DAY AND REMEMBER THAT I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. XXXXX
A beautiful hisstory of a beautiful boy. My two lads (6 and 3) are already the love of my life. But I know I will now love them that bit more and cherish every moment with them after reading of your dear boy. They'll have more love in Matthew's name. God bless. Close
condolences/ Bonnie (NONE)
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband of 33 years 8 weeks ago. I know there is no comparison to the loss of a child but knowing how horrible my pain is I can only say I am so deeply sorry for your pain. Matthew was adorable and clearly a very happy child and obviously very loved. My prayers are with you and your family. Bonnie Close
thinking of you sarah / Debbie Bucknell
Sarah I just wanted to let you know that i am always thinking of you and your darling matthew. I know for you it is such early days and the pain for you must be so hard, i always remember my 2nd year in lots of ways being alot harder then the first year, i suppose the first year we are in such shock and feel so numb. Then the 2nd year some of the shock and numbness wears off, but some of the people around us think because we have the first year out of the way, we are ok now. But then i suppose unless like us they have been through loosing a child they dont have a clue. I think to my self now how have i survived the last 4 and half years without my darling jamie and where do we find the strenght to keep going, but somehow we do. sending all my love to you love debbie x Close
There is nothing i can do, to make him come back There are no words I can say, that can replace The words you long to hear
There are no answer's I can give, that will satisfy your questions There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared
I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete I will not say it could have been worse I will not deny it was a tragedy I will not lie and tell you he will come back
He never really left
I do promise he hears you when you speak I will say he loves you no matter the distance I will not deny he is in a better place And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday
He is every step you take He is in everything you do He is the air you breathe He is every beat of your heart
" He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him"
All i can do is always be there for you Take care Sarah thinking of you always Gra xx

Thinking of you! / Emma Mason(dylans Mummy) (Another heart broken mummy )
"Death of a Child" Sorry I didn't get to stay. To laugh and run and play. To be there by your side. I'm sorry that I had to die.
God sent me down to be with you, to make your loving heart anew. To help you look up and see Both God and little me.
Mommy, I wish I could stay. Just like I heard you pray. But, all the angels did cry when they told little me goodbye.
God didn't take me cause He's mad. He didn't send me to make you sad. But to give us both a chance to be a love so precious .. don't you see?
Up here no trouble do I see and the pretty angels sing to me. The streets of gold is where I play you'll come here too, mommy, someday.
Until the day you join me here, I'll love you mommy, dear. Each breeze you feel and see, brings love and a kiss from me.
We can only hope and pray that this is true and we can make up for all the time we have lost with our angel boys. Matthew and Dylan will be having lots of fun iam sure even though we are in pain as long as they are happy and having fun we are too. Time never does get any easier my pain gets stronger each day i know you feel it too but its good to share your pain and setting up these websites in memory of those we have lost has helped me through this hard time and i want to thankyou to everyone who has visited dylans site and see what lovely things people have wrote and i want to say thankyou to you all especially you sarah as you are one of them people. allways in my mind heart and soul Goodnight and god bless matthew Emma Mason (dylan's mummy)xxxxxxxxxxx
No words can comfort you I know. The loss of a child is unbearable, please know you are in my prayers. My daughter died from the same meningitis, in 2001, she was almost 1 year. She is terribly missed still, my heart breaks everyday for my baby girl my first born. Her website is http://shayla-lenoir.memory-of.com please feel free to visit her wesbite. My hearts goes out to you and your family. GOd Bless
Just a note to tell you that you & Matt are in my thoughts and prayers. 18 months on, the longing to have Sibel and my old life back is overwhelming. I have not spoken to you in ages although I tried to contact you on chat a few times...I am here for you as I was back then sweetie. Wishing you strength xxxxx
