mam
well fergy,
according to my watch it is now midnight and this is your 21st birthday, but you were born at 5.53 weighing in at 5lbs 13oz. you were so tiny but hey you had a gob on you.
this time 21 yrs ago i was in the maternity unit and i wouldnt say in complete pain, coz it wasnt, if it was then i forgot coz i got you at the end. well worth the pain.
ive sat all day and thought of you, and thought of what i did 21 yrs ago today. how i wouldnt ring for an ambulance till 8pm coz it was a monday nite and i had to watch corrie. me back was bloody killing me. then the ambulance got lost? how could it on a bloody big council estate, and theyd parked near aunty mandys and they asked me if i was ok to walk. tell ya i never ad owt easy.
dunt even know why i babbling on, i told you this story often enough, just miss you sooooooooooooo very much and cant believe what has happened. it's been 2 yrs 3 months and 5 days since you were killed, and i just seem to be counting the days, a bit like in the old films when prisoners marked off how many days they had done, but unlike prisoners nowedays my life sentence will never get relese for good behaviour, or let out early coz prisons full etc etc etc.
well this girl at work emma, she was 21 on sat and i wasnt gunna see her for a bit coz she worked when it was my days off then when i went back to work she was on holiday, and i just couldnt believe that me and emmas mam were prob in hosp at the same time, anyway love i left her a lovely card and a badge to wear (like you do) anyway linzi who i work with took the card and gave her it yesterday and linzi said she cried her eyes out. think she was thinking of you hun.
tell you what tho. its funny but i get on better at work with the young ones than people my age. they brill, and i do get upset coz i think about you and i think that emma or linzi would of made great girlfriends for you.
just wish you were here so i never had to write this i could sit and bore you and tell you about the tues morning you were born, and tell you i love you and have a massive party for you, but if things would have turned out the way that you planned you still wouldnt of been here you would of been fighting for your country, but quite poss you could of been home on leave.
your cousin dave. well more like the brother you never had, well he n vicky had a baby boy on 11th june and they calling him bailey carl. what you think about that then? havent seen him yet, and it was all a bit of a secret when he was born, aparently to stop me being upset, but it has upset me more that they havent told me. all the family kept it from me for one reason or another. hey such is life...........
just hope that if there is a heaven u know how much i am hurting right now and wishing you were here. too much gone off to tell you, but i know you know thats why you pushing everything to go through.
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY FERGY. I MISS YOU LOADS AND LOVE YOU EVEN MORE. TO INFINITY AND BACK AS WE USED TO SAY. LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL BE THINKING OF YOU TODAY. MITE SEE LEE AT YOUR GRAVE. WE MET LAST YEAR AT 2.30 AS THE YR B4.

Drunk Driving Crashes
Drunk driving crashes
Leave lives in ashes
Hopes are lost
At a high cost
Dreams are shattered
People are battered
When will it stop?
Drunk Drivers say
'I won't pay
for my crime'
Time after time
They get away with murder
Justice says it is just manslaughter
When will it end?
What message do we send?
The crime continues
That is no news
Innocent or guilty
We all pay for it completely
Insurance rates increased
To pay for the deceased
We pay for the injured
In which there is no way to be cured
When will it cease?
If the criminals are caught
And justice is sought
We all still pay for their stay
In court or in jail
Without fail
We pay with our taxes
While the criminal relaxes
When will it quit?
It is time to fight
There is no end in sight
We must raise our voices
And exercise our choices
Murdering of the innocents
Is nefarious
Injuring the blameless
Is completely atrocious
When will it disappear?
We can end it here
The end of this crime can be near
If we all choose not to lose
Any more lives!
With a vigorous
Shout and a zealous
Cry to the lawmakers
We can show the lawbreakers
We will suffer no more!
There is much in store
For their criminal acts

E-MAIL SENT TO DAVID CAMERON LEADER OF THE CONVERSATIVE PARTY. LETS SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY:
dear mr Cameron,
my name is Dawn Ferguson and i live in Pontefract West Yorkshire. my only child carl (aged 18 at the time) was killed by drink driver Jamie Crozier on the morning of Saturday 18th March 2006.
It is actually too upsetting to go into the full story, if you need any more info please visit www.rememberingfergy.piczo.com to find out the full facts, but jamie crozier caused my sons death whilst twice over the legal limit and then set about to try and pevert the course of justice whilst my son lay dying in the back of the car. he then continued to drive until he was at court on 2nd feb 2007 and then got sentenced to 4 yrs on 20th feb.
nobody, but nobody has helped me. the cps was a complete waste of time, as was my flo, and im sorry but the justice system stinks. my sons killer had done 12 months in prison of a 4 yr sentence when he applied to move to open conditions which was granted and he is now out of prison 4 days (and nights) a week working. hey hey hey. the prisons are the new butlins........................
I would like to know what you would do if you got in? i am now a prisoner in my own home, because if i see crozier walking the streets i will kill him, and i bet i would do more than 12 months.
my local mp is miss crappy herself yvette cooper and her so called hubby runs next door. ed balls. i have written to her to ask for help in backing my campaign, but she refuses to answer, yet she says she want to make the 5 towns (where i live) a safer place???
what bull! drink driving is on the up, and nobody, well not this present government seem to care. i have been in touch with baroness scotland, stephen ladyman, god knows who else they are all prats anyway. and all they tell me is that when a positive reading is given when breathalised that does not mean they are guilty of a crime?????????????????????
I really don't get it. i believe it should be made law that if you give a positive reading then with immidiate effect the driving licence should be suspended until such a time as that person goes to court? it may not prove guilt, (but i cant see why not) but they should be off the road. if you dont kill someone you are in court in 3 to 4 days, if you kill someone or injure you are in court in 10 to 12 months, and that person is free to carry on...........
Lets say for example one of your ministers was accused of stealing from funds, would you not suspend him whilst it was investigated? probably, so why can this not happen with drink drivers????????????
i also have a site on a memorial site called gone too soon called fadd (families against drink driving) please take a look it is really not just me who feels strongly about this.
what ever happens i will never ever vote labour again, and alot of people in pontefract wont either. we are sick to the back teeth of "all prisons are full" excuse! not our fault. build more, do like they do in america make them walk the streets with plaquards saying what they have done.
I truly hope that the cons are going to be harder on drink/drug drivers. this scum does not deserve to be walking/driving our streets.
jamie crozier has had more help than me or my family, and i am the one with the life sentence, the one who will never see her little boy get married, have babies, celebrate his 21st birthday, all because of a repete drink driver. my life is over and yet he is working quite merrily away, yeah he may have to return to prison for 3 days a week, but hey what he earns is his to keep? is that right? what about all us taxpayers that are paying for his train ticket from prison to work, lodgings his board in prison??????????? all this stinks, i am in the process of losing my home because i have had so much time off work and havent been able to claim benefits coz i quit my job due to stress. and where was the help then??? yep obviously in the prison service.
even if you do not want to get in touch with me, or dont want to comment, please acknowledge that you have recieved this email.
kindest regards,
dawn ferguson

IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER
The ice cream man is coming,
I can hear him ring his bell,
The children run to meet him,
To buy the goodies he sells.
They never even notice,
The cars out in the street,
The only thing you hear is,
The sound of running feet.
But then one day it happens,
A car comes speeding by,
He had to much to drink so,
Somebody's going to die.
He doesn't even realize,
The life he's going to take,
He doesn't stop to think of,
The hearts he's going to break.
He doesn't hear the sound of,
A mother when she screams,
It doesn't seem to matter,
That he took away her dreams.
His mind is really cloudy,
He isn't thinking clear,
How could he think of driving,
After drinking all that beer.
Some day our prayers will be answered,
Drunk driving will finally cease,
the drivers that took our loved ones away,
will finally rest in peace.
© Alice Donatelli
Dedication:
to all the familes who lost their loved ones in the hands of a drunk driver. God bless you all.

I LOOKED UPON YOU ONE LAST TIME.
A FACE I KNEW BETTER THAN MINE
I STROKE YOUR HAIR AND KISS YOUR FACE.
YOU FEEL SO COLD AND OUT OF PLACE.
I TRY TO LEAVE BUT AM STUCK TO THE FLOOR,
AS REALITY HITS ME WITH A BLINDING ROAR.
I TRY TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF REASON IN MY HEAD,
MY HEART SCREAMS DONT LEAVE HIM IN THIS PLACE OF DEAD.
I KNOW YOU ARE GONE AND CANT COME BACK.
WITHOUT YOU LIFE IS WRONG, THE FUTURE BLACK.
THE ANGUISH OF THIS RUNS SO DEEP.
I FEEL IT EVEN IN MY SLEEP.
MY HEART CANNOT FATHOM THAT YOU ARE GONE.
AS MY MIND CRIES OUT THAT THIS IS WRONG.
I AM YOUR MOTHER, YOU WERE MY SOUL,
NOW I KNOW LIFE SHALL NEVER BE WHOLE.
AS I TURN TO WALK AWAY.
MY HEART TOO SHATTERED TO EVEN PRAY.
I LOOK BACK AT YOUR FACE I KNOW SO WELL,
SO THIS IS TRULY A TASTE OF HELL.

THE UNDEFENDED VICTIM
rewritten for our beloved Tiffany
For me, no gavel hammers.
The scales were never weighed.
My crime was that of 'Victim'
MY LIFE, the price I paid.
And when my life was taken...
Why were MY 'rights' not read?
And the statement 'Overruled.' When they pronounced me DEAD!
No lawyer to call on me,
To take the witness stand.
My fate was decided when--
Left in a DRUNKARD'S hand.
Yet, NOW the courtroom's crowded,
A lawyer pleads HIS case...
And the glimmer of a tear,
Creeps down his 'sober' face.
OH, that I could take the stand..
They'd witness my LAST BREATH,
And they could see the TERROR,
I went through facing DEATH!
But they missed MY 'Pleading' Cries.
The look upon MY face.
...The scales have not yet been,
'Balanced' in this case!
If I could tell the jury,
Exactly how it was,
The FEAR and PAIN I went through
Struck down without a cause.
Can the jury weigh it all..
..Now listening to his pleas?
The only emotion now..
..His hopes of going free.
The final verdict now is in!
The defendent...in tears.
If only I'D done so WELL!
Given TEN to TWENTY YEARS.
-------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------
TIFFANY'S CASE - THE CONSEQUENCES
The drunk driver that killed Tiffany was charged with Negligent Homicide, a felony. He spent the next 7 months free on bail going through the steps of legal manuevering.
As the trial date approached, he chose to plead guilty rather than go to trial. On May 22, 1997 he received a sentence of ten (10) years with two (2) years suspended ... to be spent under the supervision of the Montana Department of Corrections...ineligible for parole until he completed chemical dependency treatment.
With good behavior, and after approximately 1 year in the system, the Department of Corrections felt he had satisfied the terms of the (8 year) sentence and recommended his release.
Of the one year of incarceration, approx. 4 months was spent in the County jail (due to lack of room anywhere else). A few months were spent processing through the State Prison. About 3 months spent in an intensive chemical dependency treatment program at Boot Camp. Upon graduation from the Boot Camp, two months was spent at a Pre-release Center working for a gravel firm.
For the term of the two years suspended sentence he will be required to report to a probation officer once a month, not possess firearms, and will not to drink intoxicants.

Banned driver killed pensioner
A banned teenage driver who ploughed into a pensioner has been convicted of causing death by dangerous driving.
David Green, 18, was the driver of a Vauxhall Cavalier car which ploughed into Henry Tibb, 85, as he crosssed Belle Vale Road, Gateacre, Liverpool, in January.
The jury at Liverpool Crown Court heard Green, of Cloudberry Close, Netherley, Liverpool, was behind the wheel despite a ban 25 days earlier for drink-driving without a licence or insurance and obstructing a police officer.
He was remanded in custody until 16 October for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
And he was warned by Judge Brian Lewis not to expect anything less than a jail sentence.
Gordon Cole, prosecuting, said Green jumped a red traffic light and took the junction too fast.
Mr Tibb was taken to Whiston Hospital, Merseyside, with serious injuries which led to his death on 18 February.

A drunk driver nearly killed a great-grandmother after boozing on a cocktail of drink and drugs the night before.
Crippled Colleen Turner, 70, was walking her dog when she was hit by a powerful BMW car driven by valet Philip Stone.
The impact of the crash threw her over a wall, which then crashed down on top of her as the car ploughed into it.
Her family say she's lucky to be alive after Stone, 36, lost control after drinking five cans of strong lager and smoking three cannabis joints only hours earlier.
And after admitting his guilt, a judge has warned Stone he could face time behind bars.
Today police warned motorists not to drive after a night of drink and drugs as it can be a 'lethal combination'.
Roads policing units have already cracked down on drink drivers with extra patrols as the Christmas party season goes into full swing.
Mrs Turner backed the strong message and said: 'I'm lucky to be alive. I thought I was going to lose my legs but I'm going to be partially disabled for life. I've got a terribly deformed ankle and one leg is now shorter than the other.
'People who drink and drive are diabolical. They shouldn't be in a car.'
The widow was walking on the pavement in Bransbury Road in Eastney, Portsmouth, when Stone drove into her on November 25 last year.
The car valet had been given keys to the BMW so he could clean it. But he lost control on a bend and drove straight into the helpless pensioner.
Mrs Turner was knocked into the air before the car crashed into a garden wall which then fell on top of her and crushed her legs.
She was rushed to hospital where she had a seven-and-a-half hour operation to save her life.
During four months in hospital she learnt to walk again but she only had metal pins and frames taken out of her right leg in October.
The pensioner, of Gritanwood Road, Eastney, still has a plaster cast to help her bones heal and needs a zimmer frame to walk.
Daughter Angela Turner was waiting to take her mum Christmas shopping on the day of the accident when she had a knock on the door.
The 43-year-old, of Minstead Road, Eastney, said: 'A policeman came and said it was likely to be a fatal collision. Nobody thought she would make it.'
Granddaughter Kelly Turner, 20, of Rosetta Road, Eastney, said: 'Nan was tough enough to come through this but if it was a kiddie there I dread to think.'
Stone, of Astrid Close, Hayling Island, had pleaded not guilty in previous hearings and a trial date had been set for January.
But yesterday at Portsmouth Magistrates Court he pleaded guilty to careless driving without due care and attention and driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level was above the limit.
Sentencing has been adjourned until January 7 but District Judge Anne Arnold told Stone: 'I'm not ruling out any option. Uppermost in my mind is a custodial sentence.'
Inspector Beth Pirie, of Cosham Roads Policing Unit, said: 'Getting behind the wheel the morning after a night of drinking or taking drugs can be a lethal combination. Just because you feel safe doesn't mean you are.
'Think before you get in your car. Play it safe, and arrange a lift or get public transport.'

Family angry at drink-drive death
Aaron Chisango admitted drink-driving
The family of a 12-year-old boy who was killed by a drink-driver have called for a change in the law after he was sentenced to just two months in jail.
Jamie Mason, from Wednesfield, suffered head and internal injuries when he was hit by a car driven by Aaron Chisango.
The 27-year-old, who lives in Telford, Shropshire, admitted drink-driving and driving without a licence or insurance.
A charge of causing death by careless driving was dropped because of a lack of evidence.
It is sending a completely wrong message to the public that it is acceptable to carry on in this way
Carole Whittingham, Scard
Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court heard on Tuesday that Chisango drank a bottle of whisky the night before his Rover 620 was involved in the fatal accident on 8 January in the city's Cannock Road.
He was one-and-a-half times over the legal limit alcohol limit.
However prosecutors claimed there was no evidence he had driven without due care and dropped the charge of causing death by careless driving.
At an earlier hearing, the court was told Chisango was currently fighting attempts to deport him to his native Zambia after his visa ran out in October.
Jamie's mother Hayley Mason and his stepfather, Steve Leighton, said they were devastated when they learned Chisango would not be sentenced for causing Jamie's death.
Support and Care after Road Death and Injury (Scard), a charity which campaigns for the victims of road accidents, branded the sentence 'obscene'.
Carole Whittingham, from Scard, said there should be a criminal charge to substantiate the fact that Chisango had killed a child while drunk.
She added: 'My heart goes out to this poor boy's family.
'I hear about cases like this all the time and the government are very good at rhetoric, but in reality very little changes.
'It is sending a completely wrong message to the public that it is acceptable to carry on in this way.'

A DRUNKEN driver who killed a man after smashing into his car while driving the wrong way down the A13 has been jailed.
Njabulo Nyathi, 46, refused to fork out just £5 for a taxi home following a three-hour booze binge.
Instead, he tried to drive home - despite the fact he was so drunk he failed to spot no-entry signs on the exit slip from the London-bound A13 and other drivers desperately swerving out of his way.
Zimbabwean Nyathi, of Rokescroft, Basildon, was three times over the drink-drive limit. He reached speeds of up to 55mph as he drove for about a mile the wrong way, before ploughing into Sam Matkin's car, killing him almost instantly.
Yesterday, Judge Rupert Overbury jailed Nyathi for five years after he admitted causing death by dangerous driving.
He said: 'Sam Matkin was a healthy 22-year-old man who had much to live for. Your actions robbed him of his future.
advertisement'B ut for a £5 taxi fare, he would've had a future.'
Basildon Crown Court heard Nyathi went to the Cahoots bar, in Basildon town centre, at 5pm on December, 16, 2006.
Njabulo Nyathi
He drank several pints of lager before getting behind the wheel of his four-wheel-drive Nissan X-trail.
Simon Spence, prosecuting, said the former factory worker began the drive home, heading the wrong way down the London-bound A13 from the Five Bells roundabout.
Mr Spence said several drivers swerved out of his way. Others flashed their lights to warn him he was in the wrong, but he failed to take any action.
Witnesses described Nyathi as 'looking ill' and appearing to be slumped over the wheel.
Like the other drivers, Mr Matkin of Burrs Way, Corringham, was headed west on the London-bound carriageway.
He was between the Pitsea flyover and Five Bells roundabout when Nyathi crashed into his Ford Fiesta.
Nyathi was arrested and found to have 244mls of alcohol in his bloodstream. The legal limit is 80ml.
The court was told Nyathi was 'deeply remorseful' over what he had done.
In addition to the jail sentence, Judge Overbury banned Nyathi from driving for five years.
He added: 'Despite the fact you must have felt drunk and must have experienced the associated affects on your senses, you chose to put yourself behind the wheel of a four-wheel-drive.
'That put you in charge of a lethal weapon which had the potential to wreak havoc with other road users.
Unfortunately on that evening, that is what happened.'
Nyathi will serve half of his sentence before being released on licence

DRUNK DRIVERS MAKE OUR ROADS DEADLY
Wednesday March 12,2008
DANGEROUS drivers see driving as an 'activity.' Something they can do alone to unwind without having to think.
Yet despite the solace drivers find on the open road, most of them forget that they are sharing the roads with thousands of others and thus have to take responsibility for their behaviour.
But you don't just to have to be in control of you own vehicle. You also have to be aware of everything around you, not just other road users, but also pedestrians and stationary vehicles and objects too.
Over the weekend a friend told me of a guy he believes often drives home drunk. I was quite shocked. This is apparently someone who is a normal bloke with a responsible job, yet obviously turns into a selfish idiot after a few beers.
Just the phrase 'Drunk Driver' conjures up an image of a stupid lout - but even if you are only a few units over the limit that is exactly what you become.
But some people seem to think that a driving license gives them a free pass to drive however they choose. And these people are always arrogant enough to believe they are great drivers - just like 35-year-old killer Jason Brain.
Brain seemed to think he was such a good driver that the rules of the road didn't apply to him. He ended up killing himself and his own 15-year-old daughter because of his reckless driving.
Gambling with his own life was one thing, but he ended up taking six innocent others as well.
On that day, 35-year-old Brain killed not only the passengers in his own car, but others in an oncoming car whom he neglected to see on the A429 in Gloucestershire that day.
Already a convicted drink driver, Brain was overtaking on a winding road when he smashed into the other car.
Brain's irresponsible behaviour that day resulted in the loss of six innocent lives.
Drunk drivers are despicable - especially ones who end up committing murder.
Passengers - especially young ones- trust their driver. Yet drunk drivers are playing Russian roulette with the lives of their loved ones everytime they get behind the wheel after one too many.
And sadly one day, their luck will run out and innocent victims will be forced to pay.

Families lash sentence on killer driver
Friends died in 90mph smash
David Hogg
THE families of two men killed by a drunk driver who raced at almost 90mph the wrong way down a dual carriageway have condemned his jail sentence as 'sickening'. Robert Frankenthal and his friend Ryan Radford died in Scott Hall Road, Leeds, last year when a stolen 4x4 slammed into their Rover car as they returned from a doctor's appointment.
The 4x4 driver, Damien Dutton, was handed an indeterminate sentence at Leeds Crown Court yesterday, but must serve a minimum of five years before being eligible for parole.
However, the victims' families attacked the decision and said he should have been charged with manslaughter instead of the lesser offence of causing death by dangerous driving.
Hours before the accident on November 30 Dutton, who was then living in a Hyde Park bail hostel in Leeds, had stolen a Nissan Terrano from a pub car park in Beeston, Leeds.
Aware that he was on licence for a previous robbery he drove to Water Lane in Holbeck, where he picked up a prostitute and then had sex with her at the rear of a hotel.
He went on to Meanwood but his driving was so erratic that a motorist with whom he almost collided called the police and he was soon intercepted.
Refusing orders to stop he told the prostitute: 'I cannot, I'm wanted.'
Dutton, 22, who had twice the legal level of alcohol in his blood, then drove the wrong way round a roundabout and raced for almost a mile down Scott Hall Road at 87mph through oncoming traffic.
He crashed into Mr Frankenthal's car, killing both the 19-year-old and Mr Radford, 20. Dutton later told police: 'I am not drunk, I have only had seven or eight pints.'
At Leeds Crown Court yesterday, he pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving, one of stealing a vehicle and one each of driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.
Judge Kerry Macgill said Dutton had taken away two young lives with his 'selfish, arrogant and uncaring' conduct. The judge ordered he could be considered for parole after five years but stressed he could serve longer if considered a danger to the public.
Outside court Robert Frankenthal's mother, Judi, said Dutton should have been given the maximum 14- year sentence.
'He's still got his life ahead of him and we've got nothing,' she said. 'Robert worked with people on remand and it's horrible to think that someone like that could have turned around and killed him. The sentence is sickening.'
Mr Frankenthal attended the Brodetsky School, Alwoodley, Leeds and in 2004 he travelled to Kwazulu Natal in South Africa to train technology and IT teachers. Shortly before his death he had started to train as a special constable.
His school friend Mr Radford spent his early years in Northern Ireland, before his family moved to Leeds. Following a short stint in the Army he returned to Leeds where he took a job running a gymnasium in Burley.
Mr Radford's father, Paul Breen, praised both young men and said he was disappointed with the sentence.
'You get behind the wheel with drink in you and it's the same as picking up a gun.
'If you kill someone like that, it's manslaughter.'

Over the weekend a friend told me of a guy he believes often drives home drunk. I was quite shocked. This is apparently someone who is a normal bloke with a responsible job, yet obviously turns into a selfish idiot after a few beers.
Just the phrase 'Drunk Driver' conjures up an image of a stupid lout - but even if you are only a few units over the limit that is exactly what you become.
But some people seem to think that a driving license gives them a free pass to drive however they choose. And these people are always arrogant enough to believe they are great drivers - just like 35-year-old killer Jason Brain.
Brain seemed to think he was such a good driver that the rules of the road didn't apply to him. He ended up killing himself and his own 15-year-old daughter because of his reckless driving.
Gambling with his own life was one thing, but he ended up taking six innocent others as well.
On that day, 35-year-old Brain killed not only the passengers in his own car, but others in an oncoming car whom he neglected to see on the A429 in Gloucestershire that day.
Already a convicted drink driver, Brain was overtaking on a winding road when he smashed into the other car.
Brain's irresponsible behaviour that day resulted in the loss of six innocent lives.
Drunk drivers are despicable - especially ones who end up committing murder.
Passengers - especially young ones- trust their driver. Yet drunk drivers are playing Russian roulette with the lives of their loved ones everytime they get behind the wheel after one too many.
And sadly one day, their luck will run out and innocent victims will be forced to pay.

Thinking of Carl and Craig, hope they have met each other in heaven.
It's funny to think that your mam and me could pass each other in the street, not knowing who that stranger is - and yet the love and support we have found, from your mam and many others on GTS means so very much to all of us.
Sometimes it's the things you say
That help me make it through another day
Thanks Dawn...with love from Craig's Auntie Margaret xxxxxxxx

Although you are a friend of mine
and Candles we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.
I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.
So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

Few words of comfort
do I rarely feel,
No peace do I find
in the memories that I steal,
Many tears I still cry
like raindrops from my eyes,
Broken shattered hearts don't heal
When a chid born from you Dies,
My arms ache with emptiness
since my child was taken away,
My days are filled with a longing
To hold her again some day
My thoughts are of her every word
they fill my crazy mind,
My only aim I have left inside me now
Is my beautiful child I have to find.

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.

FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS OR IS THINKING BOUT DRINK DRIVING PLEASE READ THE DEVESTATION YOU COULD CAUSE.
2 years ago today,
something happened really bad,
it was the day that jamie crozier,
killed my little lad.
my heart is more than broken,
it snapped right in two,
one half has left me darling,
but i know its within you.
so if you see me weeping,
at this very hard time of year,
give me a little shove,
show me that you are here.
life is so hard and really bad,
how the hell do i cope, without my lad,
life could have turned out so differently,
and you would be here, at home with me.
why do people drink and drive,
they must be thick in the head,
nothing will ever stop them,
till an innocent person is dead.
cheeky chops, i used to call you,
some times very much more,
i wish i could do it rite here rite now,
if you'd just walk through my front door.
but alas your life is over,
somehow i have to cope,
but how do i get over loosing my child,
ive got nothing left but hope.
carl,
08.22 you will of been gone 2 years, people say it gets easier, but trust me it dosent. your death was so avoidable and that is what hurts the most.
thinking of you always
your'e in my half a heart.

if heaven was a place on earth, i'd love to be there too,
so i could get the chance to snuggle into you.

i wish i'd never lost my gorgeous lad.
god takes the best i know thats true,
just wish i'd had more time with you.
2 years ago you went away,
you are loved, cherished and remembered every day
gone way too soon but never ever forgotten

TIME IS NO HEALER
People say to me that time is a healer
Believe me this isn't true,
For the pain in my heart grows stronger
As each day I am missing you,
My heart it is so empty
Since the day you went away,
The only thing that could heal me
Would be you back here to stay,
We all know that’s impossible
As you have gone too far,
Too far for me to reach you
You are my guiding star,
We will meet again in Heaven
One bright and sunny day,
Back in the arms of you Mother
Is where you will always stay?
God will reunite us with the Angels
In Heaven up above,
Where we can live forever
Wrapped in Eternal love,
You will wait at the gates of Heaven
Until the time is right,
You will open up your arms to your Mother
You will call me to the light,
Then time will be the healer
The healer of my pain,
Because we will be together
Together Once Again.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH BABY XXX

When we are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
'Cheer up and carry on.'
Each time we see your photo
You seem to smile and say,
'Don't cry I'm only sleeping
We'll meet again someday

A LITTLE VERSE I HAVE MADE UP FOR YOU SON WITH LOVE ALWAYS
as mothers day approaches,
im feeling really sad,
my heart is really breaking
coz i dont have my little lad.
to have a card from you
would be a dream come true
but this is the 3rd mothers day

i know that life is cruel
i just never realised just how much
i always want you near me
just close enough to touch
so tomorrow when i shed a tear
and think of you with joy
just remember how much i love you
my darling baby boy.
love you carl always and forever
thinking of you so very much tomorrow babes
goodnight godbless

I sit here and ponder how very much
I'd like to talk with you today
There are so many things
That we didn't get to say.
I know how much you care for me
And how much I care for you,
And each time that I think of you
I know you'll miss me too.
An angel came and took you by the hand, and said
Your place was ready in Heaven, far above . . .
And you had to leave behind all those you dearly loved
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do . . .
It still seems impossible that God was taking you.
And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew
You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.
And though you've walked through Heaven's gate
We are never far apart
For every time I think of you,
You're right here, deep within my heart
love you always and forever carl. nite nite sweet dreams, love mum. xxxxxxx
