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.
Im sorry I haven't been on your website for a while every time I come on I think 'I should visit more' but I just find it so difficult seeing your cheeky face looking back at me. I'm getting better with my visits to the cemetery and feel that thats our time together.
Have you been looking down on us? Josh is getting so grown up now isn't he? He left school (which makes me feel old!) and I think he could do with help from up there to show him a way forward. He doesn't seem to know what he wants to do!
Char is growing up too she can be such a madam at times but I think thats just a girl thing.
I still miss you Matt I still think of you every day and I still love you more than you would ever imagine.
Sending you a real big hug and a big girl hug for your sister

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

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
