Tony was my son but also my friend. He found it hard to mix with people and turned to alcohol to give himself confidence and in the end it was this that took his short life away from his three brothers and his sister his dad his aunties uncles cousins grandparents nephews and nieces and of course myself. He did have many friends so many i cant name them all He was an angel when he was sober but a little devil when he had had a few beers. Its coming up to our Tonys 23rd birthday so i thought i would update his memorial.It still feels like yesterday and i can still remember every single detail of that day anyone who as lost their child will know what i mean the friday before this happened we had had a falling out nothing unusual coz he was a little pest when he was drunk he went sitting in the entry next to our house and i went in the bath i could hear him calling me "mum "mum " i had locked the door until he had calmed down then when he went quiet i crept down and unlocked the door coz i knew he would come in later, i lied in bed waiting to hear him come in then he went in his room and only then could i fall asleep knowing he was safe,the next morning when i got up for work he normally would be waiting outside the bedroom door to wind me up but he wernt so just before i left for work i crept into his room to check he was ok and he looked so peacefull fast asleep i went to work feeling happy. Around 12.30 on my way home from work i went a different way home never done this before because the way i went was longer and i even waited in traffic when there was none my usual way,i got home and it was silent but i could hear our tonys radio on in his room but no noise so thought he might still be asleep,i then went to pick his dad up from work and when we arrived back home i said to him listen he said what to i said its to quiet then my sister rang and said she had passed an ambulance just around corner on my usual route home she asked was our tony in but that was normal because everytime anything happened we always thought about him being in trouble within 10 mins i had a phone call of a girl asking if our tony was ok i didnt want to check his room i was to scared to. so i rang hospital and asked if he had been taken to hospital and the nurse who answewed asked who i was and said she would ring me back as i put the phone down and looked through the window i saw a woman look towards our house i knew then he had gone i said to his dad when the police come to tell us dont open door at that moment i saw a car pull onto the front of our house i just ran upstairs screaming dont tell me dont tell me i already knew i had lost my baby boy. I remember them asking me to identify him a few days later and when i went to the mortuary i saw him and he looked so happy i turned to the officer there and said he dont look like hes dead to me and i know this sounds so stupid but i really thought they had made a mistake it was only a few days later when i had not seen him that i began to realise he wernt going to come home again It seems he had fallen drunk and a so called friend had run of and left him on a field to this day i think if this person would have called an ambulance he would still be here,an old lady in her late 80s i would say found him and tried to save him god bless her she tried all she could i went to see her and she said she tried to bring him round but couldnt i cant thank this kind lady enough.I have just found out a young lad found him first and ran to call an ambulance i only found this out a few days ago and have still to thank him for doing so . Tony wasnt my youngest but he was in my eyes my baby and will always be my baby,You know what i still feel the same pain today as i did that day it wont ever go away and i dont want it to coz i wont ever forget him even for an hour. At his funeral about a week later his three brothers and his cousin john who he was close to carried him into church this was the first time i had seen his coffin it was heartbreaking and his eldest brother warren stood up to speak about him it must of been so hard for him but he did him proud and me to.lots of people came except the so called friend who i hope i never see again..you never really spoke about your friends but since we lost you so many have told me things you did some funny some proper daft but that was you lad didnt think about the consequences you didnt bother .love you so much , MISS YOU MY BEAUTIFUL SON SO MUCH WILL THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY SECOND OF EVERYDAY. I DO BELIEVE YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE AND WHEN IT COMES MY TIME TO GO I WILL BE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN. ALL MY LOVE NOW AND ALWAYS FOR EVER AND EVER LOVE MUM XXXXXXXX AND IF YOUR READING THIS LOVE I DID FEEL THE KISS YOU GAVE ME WHEN I WAS ALMOST ASLEEP AND IT FELT SO NICE.

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.

~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we draw to the end of another year,
We think of the ones that we hold so dear,
We pause to give thanks for our friends so true,
And ask God to bless them, the old and new.
We hold up each loved one before His Throne
And ask Him to comfort the ones alone,
For those who have lost someone they hold dear,
We ask Him to strengthen and hold them near.
For those who have prospered, with new joys to savour,
We ask God continues to show them His favour.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x

And those with new babies, or newly wed,
We ask Him to smooth out the path ahead,
For those who are ill and can barely stand,
We ask for the touch of His healing hand.
For those with new homes, with new jobs and new stress,
We ask Him to crown all their plans with success.
For those who have dreams and think, 'It's now or never,
We ask Him to bless all that they should endeavour.
For those who are facing an uphill climb,
We ask Him to carry them through this time.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~

As we come to the start of a brand new year,
We pray for the ones that we hold so dear.
We ask that each one will be soundly blest,
To taste of His goodness and know His best,
For angels to watch o'er them day and night,
For miracles, blessings and sheer delight!
We ask for the gifts that the world can't buy,
A glimpse at the wonders of Heaven on high,
Contentment and joy till the Lord comes again,
This we ask for our friends, in His Name, Amen.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x

December hasn’t changed
This town looks the same
They still light that tree in the city square
There’s red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonder . . .



Is the snow falling down on the streets of gold?
Are the mansions all covered in white?
Are you singing with angels Silent Night?
I wonder . . . what Christmas in Heaven is like



There’s a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must have walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
Cause I know you are there
And I wonder . . .



Are you kneeling with shepherds before Him now?
Can you reach out and touch His face?
Are you part of that glorious holy night?
I wonder . . . .what Christmas in Heaven is like

My Christmas in Heaven.


by Pamela Marie Graul-Gwizdala.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year
I am spending my Christmas in Heaven that is crystal clear
I know your heart is broken because I seem so far away
I want you to know; I am in your loving heart to stay

My Soul and Spirit lives within your heart
and I am promising you, we will never part
I will continue to whisper to you like a gentle prayer
trying to assure you, I am in God's Eternal Loving care

Mail out your Christmas cards and hang up our stocking too
because I am filling your stocking this year just for you
I am stuffing your stockings with Peace, Joy, Happiness, and Love
from all the Angels, Saints, and our Father from Heaven above

I am enjoying the Peace, Joy, Happiness and Love in Heaven
because Jesus died on the Cross with His last words of Seven
Remember the Kingdom of God is there for us all to share
as long as we remain in His Grace until our last prayer

My wish for you this Christmas is that you shall hear
my Joys of Peace and Happiness in Heaven is quite sincere
I am sending you His Gift of Love for you my dear
Have a Merrier Christmas and a Happier New Year.

"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)

emember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.

Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

++++++++++++++Remembrance Sunday +++++++++++++++

The anniversary of the end of hostilities of the First World War at 11am in 1918.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
