About me

I am the Mum of David-Scott Johnson, a Wonderful Son & human being.He had just celebrated his 33rd birthday, when he was killed by a drunk driver on September 11th 2004, in a village 10minutes away from his home at Earl Shilton, Leicestershire. He previously lived with us in Peterborough.We previously lived & he was born in March/Cambridgeshire. His Birth Father is Philip Johnson, & his Step-Dad is Anthony Bycraft. His Paternal Grandparents are Valantine Wentworth Johnson & Phyliss Johnson, & his maternal Grandparents are Ernest Freeman & Mary Freeman. Sadly all his Grandparents have passed away & are living with him in the new kingdom in heaven. David is my only child, & if I had known the tradgedy that was to be-fall this family & my Dear Son, then I would have not have nagged & moaned so much, but I just wanted him to have a good life. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve & am not touchy feely or verbaly gushing, so although I never kept telling him how much I loved him, he knew, as I worried 24/7 for his safty, (not that it did any good, as the event I most dreaded happened & I was helpless to stop it, if only I could have been taken in his place!!!!!! but it wasn't meant to be, & that helplessness forever haunts me, as I would have given up my life for him to live his.) Devastation is too smaller word for the feeling I carry for life. But I thank God for the gift he gave me...He obviously needed him more to take him back from me.
I make cards for local charities as a positive way to direct my thoughts and create something hopefully lovely, to help others, from the the sadness that surrounds me.
I lost my Mum Mary not long after, she had a massive stroke and was paralyzed, she died 4 months later, I nursed her at home.She was laid to rest with David.
There is just me and my hubby and a few Cousin's left in my family, as I was an only child, as was my Son. I try to think positive thoughts, help others that are grieving and cling to my strong faith, that keeps me focused and forward looking through the hard times.
I write my feelings down as poems & if you see any on here you like you may use, but please leave my name on. Thank You.

Thanks Dawn for the lovely poem and message you left on my unborn baby's memorial i too know what it's like to lose one when they have grown up my first born Graham was killed by a car on the 24th April 2002 he had recently turned 18 and had only found out that he was to become a father but that was not to be for him he is now with his 2 little brothers the one who never saw the light of day and my other son Gary who died on the 23rd April 1985 of a cot death. Life is hard and at times i wish i hadn't had any kids for the pain i feel every day but they where here for a reason only God knows because i don't know why they only had a short time on this earth and if i could trade places with any of them i would, but life ticks by with every minute of the clock at first you don't think you'll ever get through that day then years down the line you wonder where the time goes but yet your stuck on those days. I hope that you find peace in your heart even on the bad days. xxxx
