Angel -Author unknown
After making his new angel
God looked down from above
He happened to notice you
And all he saw was love
He said to the angel
"I need to send you there,
There is where you'll be loved
Where you will feel the most care"
So God sent you this angel
To nuture, love and grow
But not an angel you could keep
For it would soon be time to go
You taught this angel wonderful things
That only a mother could do
Your angel learnt compassion and warmth
Whilst living inside of you
This angel was one that would have to leave
One you'd hardly hold
One you'd mourn for the rest of your life
If the truth be told
God realised you'd miss this angel
And so he gave you tears
A way to express your love
Over the coming years
Then God called this angel home
And asked what the angel had learned
The angel said a love so strong
In a mothers heart had burned
"I learnt that love can exist
Even when I've gone
For love never dies you see
I've learnt it carries on"
God looked at the angel
Smiled and gave a sigh
"You have learnt a valuable lesson
That often passes people by"
The angel looked at God and asked
"Why is my mummy so sad?"
God answered "when I called you home
It made her miss what she had;
But soon she will realise
I sent her a special gift
I sent her you my child
Although I took you swift
Her love for you will never wain
You will remain ever in her heart
You will be in her thoughts and feelings
Like you've never been apart"
The angel asked God what this mummy did
To deserve such a wonderful thing
"Your mummy is so pure of heart
she makes the angels want to sing"
The angel thanked God
For giving him such a lovely mum
So you see in loving your angel
Your work is truly done
God didn't wish to punish you
He only showed you love
He gave you a special angel
A gift from heaven above
He knows only a special person
Can be an angel mum
He made us in his image
He lost his only son
He know's just how your heart aches
And wished that wasn't so
But your angel is so happy
In God's heavenly home
So when you think of your angel
Please just smile, don't weep
Be proud that God chose you
To love an angel so sweet
When your heart feels empty
Your life so full of despair
Remember God picked you!
Because no-one else compares
. . . GIFT OF LOVE . . .
A gift of love was given,
For just a little while;
A gift of love and laughter,
In a precious little child.
Someone to steal your heart away,
A little hand to hold;
Tiny footprints 'cross your life,
Now left upon your soul.
The echoes of soft laughter,
The sweetness of that face;
The child who brought you so much joy,
Will never be replaced.
So take each loving memory,
Of that precious little child;
In knowing a gift came down from God,
If for just a little while.
His Story
On the 30th of April 1996 my beautiful son passed away after having his life support turned off. He passed away peacefully in mine and his Daddys arms. Its a day that has burned on to heart for ever.
I had gone to work the day before at lunch time leaving his smiling happy face waving from the door step. His Daddy was at work alday and i had just started a part time job to help out. I left Brandon with my Brother His Uncle. Brandon followed him everywhere and looked up to Him. They played together in the park, snuggled on the sofa to watch TV all the normal things. He lived with us and was always a part of my family. I trusted him. Which i will always regret.
I got to work as a florist. At mid afternoon the phone rang. He told me Brandon had fallen and an ambulance was on its way. I dont remember much after that as i ran home to see my Little Boy being carried in to the Ambulance I was told he was very poorly. My Husband arrived at the hospital and we sat numb trying to take it in. He arrived, Sat there and comforted us! Told us not to worry! That he would be ok! He sat there knowing what he had done, Pure Evil in my eyes.
We were told Brandon had got a head injury that Halifax Hospital couldnt treat so they transfered him to Leeds General. There they did Test after test but each came back the same Brandon Was Brain dead. At that point the Police arrived they informed me that He had jumped through my Bathroom window as they tried to arrest him for Attempted Murder. He survived breaking his collar bone and both wrists and was under police guard at the Hospital. We couldnt take it in I still cant even now. The doctor told me that Brandon had suffered an injury like that of his head hitting a wall at 70 miles an hour he never stood a chance. We made the heart breaking decision to switch of his support. I held hime close that night told him the moon was made of cheese and that in heaven he would meet lots of pretty little girls, play football and see his Grandad and i would be there soon. I said my goodbyes it broke my heart.
Over the coming months its a haze. I dont remember much. We did the funeral. we id the body 4 times in all and had to check his tiny body for any marks. We buried him in odd socks! always makes me smile.
We went through all this again in the organ retention scandal. They took my sons Brain, eyes and bits of each organ.
Im sorry i let him go through this i blame my self each day and always will.
I live with this each day.
I love him so much always
