♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

Do you make them laugh in Heaven,
does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
like you did when you were here?
The very mention of your name,
the memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
there’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
there is no perfect day.
For no-one knows the heartache,
that lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times
we have broken down & cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
but so hard to be without.
We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you shall remain.
To walk with us throughout our lives,
until we meet again.

♥ In Our Hearts ♥
� Rose de Leon
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we’ll never part
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our heart.

I still cry
A beautiful song by Ilse De Lange...
I`m making flowers out of paper
While darkness takes the afternoon
I know that they won`t last forever
But real ones fade away too soon.
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you`re alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry.
It`s just that I recall September
It`s just that I still hear your song
It`s just I can`t seem to remember
Forever more those days are gone.
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you`re alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry.
I still cry sometimes when I remember you
I still cry sometimes when I hear your name
I said goodbye and I know you`re alright now
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry
But when the leaves start falling down I still cry.
~All my love to you and your angel~ xxx
Life's Tug of War
Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind...
Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free...
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see ...
Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet...
Life can make good ~ of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin...
Life can reward those ~ determined to win...
Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair...
Life can surround you ~ with people who care ...
Life clearly does offer ~ its Up and its Downs...
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad...
SO...
Take the Life that you have ~ and give it your best...
Think positive be happy ~ let God do the rest...
Take the challenges that life ~ has laid at your feet...
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet...
To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall...
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all...
Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care...
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there...
Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see...
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free...
The idea here is simply ~ to even the score
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug of War.
Thank you to everyone, whether you have left one candle or a thousand, each one is so special and I am continually amazed by the kindness and support I feel here on GTS.
Sorry that I don't get on here as much as I'd like to, I have a lot going on, but you are all always in my thoughts. I hope you like this latest verse that I leave with love. Hugs, Mel. xxx
Fighting the Man!!!!
Hi Daniel, now that the new year is finally underway, I am planning my next move in getting the ambulance service held accountable for leaving you so long! It still makes me mad to think that you had to lie on that road for so long.
So I am going to see the solicitor and see what she says when I make her aware that the pathologist may have based her evidence on the reports that she had which contained incorrect information.
Saying that SHE DIDN'T EVEN GET THE COLOUR OF YOUR EYES RIGHT IN HER OWN REPORT!!!!
I say to myself son, that if she can't get that small detail right, then what else has she got wrong. I had little faith in the system before the inquest, why do they think that we will accept what they say now!
From a bothched up investigation to a bothched up inquest, and all the lies and incorrect information provided by both the police and the ambulance service ( Stating to local ITV news that Daniel was a Cat B casualty, then at the inquest Daniel was already a Cat A casualty) it gets confusing, even the news reporter was lied to!
So I hope that with all the lies being known, we can press ahead and get the justice for you and the ambulance service and the police to realise that they cannot trample over the feelings of bereaved people, especially bereaved parents. It's bad enough having to bury your own child, but to be lied to about the circumstences surrounding the incident that lead to the death of your child, that is NOT ON!!!!!
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!
I await the next battle :-)
Love you always and forever my son :-)

Happy New Year?
Well Daniel, it's 2009 and the start of another year without you. 2007 seems such a long time ago, yet only 1 year has passed since we lost you. You should have been celebrating with us, and this year you should have been planning your future, as you only had 1 more year to do at school.
I wonder how tall you wold have been, since Nikita is nearly my hight now you would have been towering above me.
I wonder what you would have sounded like, as your voice was starting to break just as you were taken from us. I'm only glad that I have the videos of you so I can hear your voice as I remember it :-)
I miss you terribly, as we all do my sweet Daniel, Davey still has the fishing rod he was going to give you. I don't think he will ever go fishing again, not now that he can't take you with him. He was really looking forward to teaching you how to fish.
Time move endlessly forward, and you have been left behind, I want to go back Dan, I want to see and hear you, to give you a cuddle when you were upset, and to hear you laugh again.
Happy New Year?
not to me it isn't, never will be again :-(
Love you lots Dan, always and forever.
Mam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Merry Christmas!
At the ending of the day when I'm weary
After a waterfall of tears have all been cried
And I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary
Nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
Just close my eyes to block all the sorrow
Wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
To do it all again - tomorrow.
And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
Your lovin' angel wings.
The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
And I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
The eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
And I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?
And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
Your lovin' angel wings.
Thank God for your angel wings.
All my love this Christmas and New Year. Thank you for all your candles, tributes and pictures this year, you have been a huge support to me and my family. I have met some truly amazing people on GTS, you all have hearts of gold, and have given me hope that there are some utterly selfless, wonderful people in the world. Thank you for everything. Love always. xxxxxxx

Christmas
only a few days to christmas, and it's very painful wrapping up the presents for Nikita and none for you. I really miss you Daniel, you always loved this time of year. We always had fun at this time of year, now it feels empty. But I promise you I'll be strong for Nikita, and we will visit you on christmas day. I have my memories, but they will never be the same.
Love you loads my son.

Failed by the coroner as well as the ambulance service.
Daniel was run down on 3rd Dec 2007 at 3.25pm. A 999 call is recorded at 3.29pm. Daniel waited for 32minutes (having been hit by a car) for an ambulance which should have been with him in 8mins. The rapid response paramedic was with him in 7 minutes. She asked for the main ambulance 3 times. The first time she was told there wasn't one available. The second she was told THE AMBULANCE WAS DIVERTED TO A FURTHER EMERGENCY! And the third she was told an ambulance was on it's way. That ambulance had just dropped off at Sunderland Royal hosp and took only 4mins to reach him from receiving the call to do so. Daniel arrived at Sunderland Royal hosp at 4.22pm - 53mins after 999 call with less than 2miles between the hospital and the impact site. Daniel was showing signs of a massive head injury at this point and was described as life threatening by the paramedic.
AND YET it was 6pm before Daniel was taken for a brain scan in Sunderland Royal hospital.
WHY? - there was no-one at the inquest from Sunderland Royal to ask.
Daniel was moved to Newcastle General Hosp via police escort at 6.52pm arriving at 7.17pm.
That's 3hrs and 48mins from 999 to the care of a nuerosurgeon.
The coroner dismissed the above facts and accepted the speculation of a pathologist who has not ever read Daniel's medical reports from the time he was in Sunderland or the patient referal form from the ambulance service. Her post mortem report says she has seen medical records from Newcastle general hospital and a sudden death report. She also stated out right that she is not a brain injury specialist. And yet her speculation was accepted as fact! She stated Daniel's injuries were always going to be life threatening. She said it was not possible to be definate as to the ultimate outcome but she believed it would have been the same had Daniel arrived at hospital sooner. And she believed that it was not detrimental to Daniel's likelihood of survival to wait 3hrs and 48mins before being in the care of a neurosurgeon.
WHY ARE WE NOT ASKING THE NEUROSURGEON ABOUT THAT ONE?
The coroner lapped this up and declared speculation to be fact.
They must think we're thick Dan :-/
verdict - BETRAYED BY THE AUTHORITIES!
