About me

Hi I`m Josh`s mam, Josh was my amazing 9 year old little boy, who bravely battled leukaemia, a bone marrow transplant, TTP and then real failure, resulting in him needing kidney dialysis. Josh lost his battle after fighting for 18 long month to be a normal little boy, who was loved by all his family, especially his sister Alisha who was 11yrs when he fell asleep, and his dad Jimmy, and his 2 half sisters Mel and Emma. It`s still so hard to think that even though Josh is always with me, I can`t physically give him that kiss and cuddle that I long to give him. I know so many people miss him, as he was our little ray of sunshine. Thanks to everyone for their support, it is well appreciated. xxx

Thankyou for all you do for me & my precious angel brother lee palmer
Thankyou for yesterday you gave me strenght & comfort. thankyou for the gifts.photos.candles.tributes. you made it easier for me yesterday your an amazing person lots of love always xxxxxxxxxx

A Real Friend
If I could take a minute
To help you understand
I am a better person
Because you are my friend.

And it really doesn't matter
If we're together or apart
For I swept you up into my hands
And placed you in my heart.

And if at any moment
You ever start to doubt
There's a special bond between us
That I can't live without.

You truly are the answer
To many of my prayers
When I told God I needed
Someone who really cares.

Someone to stand beside me
To help comfort and to cope
To remind me that there's always
Some room for one to hope.

You've helped me through some things
That no one could help me through
I never knew what friendship was
Until I first met you.

And if I had one simple wish
It would surely be
That God would keep you in my life
Throughout all eternity.

And now I hope you realize
Just how much you mean to me
You are the definition
Of what a real, true friend should be.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AFTER MY MOM GARETH AND BEN WHILE I HAVENT BEEN WELL IT WAS SO KIND OF YOU SENDING ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS ALISON XXXXX

Tuesday afternoon

I have a little Angel way up in the sky ,
I've told her to watch over you,she said ok,but why ?
I told her how much I think of you, and how much you mean to me,she said she'll take much care of you,and how your life should be.
So when you feel the warmth at night,she's letting you know she's near.
She's right beside wherever you go,
she'll wipe away all your tears.
Send this on to your special friends and family you really love,
let them know you Love them.
I JUST DID !!!!!!!!! Love Janis xx

Tuesday morning

♥Cherished Friend♥

by Kristen M Saccardi


♥God must have known there would be times
we'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
or brush away a tear♥

*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*

♥He must have known we'd need to share
the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
the happiness life brings♥

*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*

♥I think he knew our troubled hearts
would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
or some goals we can't attain♥

*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*

♥He knew we'd need the comfort
of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
to make a fresh, new start♥

*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*~*.*

♥He knew we'd need companionship
unselfish...lasting...true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
with a Cherished Friend....like you♥

Daddy's Poem
----------------------

Her hair was up in a pony tail,
Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
And she couldn't wait to go.

But her mommy tried to tell her,
That she probably should stay home.
Why the kids might not understand,
If she went to school alone.

But she was not afraid;
She knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates
Of why he wasn't there today.

But still her mother worried,
For her to face this day alone.
And that was why once again,
She tried to keep her daughter home.

But the little girl went to school
Eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees
A dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back,
For everyone to meet.
Children squirming impatiently,
Anxious in their seats

One by one the teacher called
A student from the class.
To introduce their daddy,
As seconds slowly passed.

At last the teacher called her name,
Every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching,
A man who wasn't there.

'Where's her daddy at?'
She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,'
Another student dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back,
She heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad,
Too busy to waste his day.'

The words did not offend her,
As she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher,
Who told her to go on.
And with hands behind her back,
Slowly she began to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child,
Came words incredibly unique.

'My Daddy couldn't be here,
Because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
Since this is such a special day.

And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
And how much he loves me so.

He loved to tell me stories
He taught me to ride my bike.
He surprised me with pink roses,
And taught me to fly a kite.

We used to share fudge sundaes,
And ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him.
I'm not standing here alone.

'Cause my daddy's al ways with me,
Even though we are apart
I know because he told me,
He'll forever be in my heart'
With that, her little hand reached up,
And lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
Beneath her favorite dress. And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,
Her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
Who was wise beyond her years.

For she stood up for the love
Of a man not in her life.
Doing what was best for her,
Doing what was right.

And when she dropped her hand back down,
Staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft,
But its message clear and loud.

'I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
But heaven's just too far.

You see he is a Brittish soldier
And died just this past year
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy
And taught Britians to fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away.'
And then she closed her eyes,
And saw him there that day.

And to her mothers amazement,
She witnessed with surprise.
A room full of daddies and children,
All starting to close their eyes.

Who knows what they saw before them,
Who knows what they felt inside.
Perhaps for merely a second,
They saw him at her side.

'I know you're with me Daddy,'
To the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers,
Of those once filled with doubt.

Not one in that room could explain it,
For each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her,
Was a fragrant long-stemmed rose.


And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
By the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing,
That heaven is never too far.

Send this to the people you'll never forget and
Remember to send it also to the person that sent It to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.

If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're
in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.

Take the time...to live and love.
Until eternity. God bless!
