Appreciation


I’d really like to thank you friends & Angels
From the bottom of my heart
And though sometimes words are not enough
There’s no better place to start

Because your always very kind to me
In my times of need
An act i truly regard
As a very noble deed

And though it,s said that no two persons
Can ever be the same
Well if this really is a fact
Then what a crying shame

Because if there were more like you
Amongst the human race
The world would surely be
So much a better place

So in case throughout my busy life
I never take the time
To show my appreciation
I give you this thank you rhyme & Thankyou for always being there for me & my Angels & thanks for all the lovely tributes you left for my dad yesterday & pics your one in a million love always gail XXX

I have a list of folks I know...
all written in a book,
And every now and then...
I go and take a look.
That is when I realize
these names...they are a part,
not of the book they're written in...
but taken from the heart.
For each Name stands for someone...
who has crossed my path sometime,
and in that meeting they have become...
the reason and the rhyme
Although it sounds fantastic...
for me to make this claim,
I really am composed...
of each remembered name.
Although you're not aware...
of any special link,
just knowing you, has shaped my life...
more than you could think.
So please don't think my greeting...
as just a mere routine,
your name was not...
forgotten in between.
For when I send a greeting...
that is addressed to you,
it is because you're on the list...
of folks I'm indebted to.
So whether I have known you...
for many days or few,
in some ways you have a part...
in shaping things I do.
I am but a total...
of many folks I've met,
you are a friend I would prefer...
never to forget.
Thank you for being my friend!

about 7 years ago Lee went to the humber bridge,
after phoning his mam.we called the police who managed to talk Lee down.[Lee admitted it was a cry for help,rather than a suicide attempt].and he was soon back to his normal self.

on 15th oct.2008. about noon, Lee"s mam[Angie]
recieved a phone call from Lee"s employers,
they were concerned because Lee had not turned in to work,nor had he rang in.[this was out of character for Lee].
Angie went to Lee"s house house and found that
the curtains were drawn and the house lights on.
the front door was closed but not locked.
Angie went in to Lee"s house and called out his name,
[no reply].
Angie then went upstairs[her head looking down toward the stairs,as you would do].
Angie bumped into Lee,he was hanging from a rope,
suspended from a loft beam.
she ran out of the house screaming,and was helped
by Lee"s neighbours,who called the emergency services.

in all probability Lee had been there for 5 days.

Angie described Lee as such..
"his head was twice it"s normal size,and had
turned blue..his tongue was sticking out,
his eyes were bulging out of there sockets."

Lee was our only child..

can anyone imagine how horrific it must be,
for a mother to find her only child in that way.
that vision will haunt Angie forever more.

we found out a few days later that Lee had
attempted suicide a further 3 times previously.
[this was verified at Lee"s inquest]

the shocking thing about all of this is that
nobody had bothered to tell us,[his parents]
about these suicide attempts,,nor that he was ill
with depression.

many thanks to those who have lit candles.xx
