About me

My name's Ann-Marie and I'm married to a wonderful man Lee... He has been an amazing father to both my three elder children and our youngest child...

Our 14yr old son CeeJay died on the 20th February 2009... He was born with spontaneous Neurofibromatosis which caused him some difficulties over the years due to internal growths... Unfortunately one of these, in his abdomen, changed into a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour early in 2008... He fought a brave battle and exceeded his six month prognosis surprising us all and making it to his 14th birthday and Christmas...

CeeJay is terribly missed not only by me, his dad Lee, his elder sisters Sarah and Danielle, his younger brother Nick, his 'baby' sister Naeve and all the other close family members who loved him so dearly; but also by the huge number of people that he touched during his brief time with us...

When I watch all the Beautiful Butterflies they bring a smile to my face
Each of them flying around my garden each one so full of Grace
These are the little moments when I find Solace and Peace
When I see all these perfect Butterflies my Heart finds some kind of release
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Release from all the hurting all the tears deep inside
Somehow watching the Butterflies, I feel my Angel by my side
I watch them fly so high they seem to look back and know
That I need a closer look at them so they put on a show
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
They are so full of beauty that others fail to see
Are these Butterflies sent from Heaven have they really been sent to me?
Yes, I will always seek out each Butterflies wings made from Golden lace
In my Broken Heart these Butterflies hold a very dear Special Place.........

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
A child is such a precious gift.
To love, to hold,to treasure,
a very special miracle
who gives us so much pleasure.

But when that gift is taken back,
and our hearts are cold and torn, amid this grief and sorrow,
we are so glad that they were born,
For they leave a precious legacy,
Even though we are far apart,
The love they left behind them,
Will stay forever in our hearts.

Hi ann-marie- thank you for visiting jens page and lighting a candle for you-i have been reading all about CeeJay and have been so moved by his bravery and your bravery and just wanted to say what a lovely "cheeky" boy he looks- to endure so many adversities in asuch a short life with such bravery and selflessness is amasing -you must be so so proud of him and i was so touched by your honesty when you spoke of his last months. I cannot imagine the emotions of watching your boy in pain, having lost my daughter suddenly -my only consolation is she didnt know she was so ill- anyway what im trying to say is my heart goes out to you and i can empathise with all your thoughts and emotions-would love to hear more about CeeJay and you if would like to chat

take care
