Special Needs Teacher
Washington, Tyne & Wear
Louise had cancer when she was nine years old and had to have a leg amputated. This setback did not
prevent her from leading a full and active life. Her disability gave her a special empathy with
physically and mentally handicapped children and after completing her degree went on to teach at
Gibside Special School in Gatehead where she adored the children and always celebrated their
achievements. The music was recorded by the children at her school and the proceeds from the CD
donated to the North of England Childrens Cancer Research charity. The song "Kumbaya" was
played at her funeral.
On the last day of term 2005 she became very breathless and was taken to hospital where she was
diagnosed with secondary liver cancer. This came as a total shock as she had been cancer free for 18
years. Louise dealt with this terrible news with enormous courage and dignity, she never ever asked
"Why me?" even finding time to nominate me for the Evening Chronicle Mother of the Year
competion.
We thought Louise was a truly inspirational young girl and our life is so empty without her.
And a cure was not to be
So he put His arms around her
And whispered, "Come with Me"
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer
And saw her fade away,
Although we loved her dearly
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
Happy Birthday
My Journey
An Angel appeared by my side,
Whispered you have nothing to hide.
Her awesome glow let me see,
An Angel's love to comfort me.
She held me beneath her wings,
As she spoke of many things.
When I felt her warm embrace,
Many facts I had to face.
She never tried to rush me-
Waited patiently for me to see.
God's love for me is unconditional,
He blessed me with this Angel.
Sent her to join my journey,
So He could set me free.
I heard love in her voice,
Whispering 'Have you made your choice?
If you're ready take my hand,
Together we'll find God's Promised Land.'
Thinking of you all today Lousie sounds a very special young lady god bless you all

Happy 30th Louise Angel..xxX

The Legacy
When I die, give what is left of me to children.
If you need to cry, cry for your brothers walking beside you.
Put your arms around anyone, and give them what you need to give to me.
I want to leave you with something, something better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I have known and loved.
And if you cannot live without me, then let me live on in your
eyes, your mind and your acts of kindness.
You can love me most by letting hands touch, and letting go of children that need to be free.
Love does not die, people do.
So when all that is left of me is love....
Give me away.....
I will be thinking of you tomorrow Kath, and every day. I wish I could offer you more than verses and candles, but a child's death can never be rationlised. This is a verse on my Mother's site and I did try to add it earlier - but only got the heading accepted. Take care - Lots of Love, Sarah xx

HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago
One day i saw a sign that read ' HEAVENS GROCERY STORE'
As i got a little closer, the door came wide open
And when I came to myself, I was standing inside.
I saw a host of ANGELS. ... who were standing everywhere,
one handed me a basked and said, My Child - shop with care.
Everything a human needed was in that grocery store.
And - all you could'nt carry you could come back the next day for more.
First I got some PATIENCE, LOVE was in the same row.
Further down was UNDERSTANDING: you need that everywhere you go.
I got a box or two of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH,
I couldnt miss the HOLY GHOST, for it was all over the place.
I stopped to get some strength
And ... courage to help me run life's race.
But then my basket was getting full
But I remembered I needed some GRACE.
I didnt forget SALVATION, for SALVATION it was free
So I tried to get enough of that to save both your and me.
Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery bill,
For I thought I had everything to do the MASTER'S will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER: and I just had to put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into sin.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful - they were there on the last shelf,
SONG and PRAISE were hanging near - so I just helped myself.
The I said to my angel, ' Now , how much do I owe?'
He smiled and said. ' Just take them everywhere you go.'
Again, I smiled and said, 'How much do I owe you?'
He smiled again and said
MY CHILD, GOD PAID YOUR BILL A LONG,LONG TIME AGO.
**************************************************************************************************
YOU CAN SHED TEARS
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can SMILE because she lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all she has left
Your heart can be empty becuse you cant see her
Or you can be full of love you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it LIVE ON
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
(Like personally i have done..... i have been mad, angry cross and just excuse the french the helling..... that my precious so young daughter was TAKEN TRAGICALLY AWAY FROM ME)
But i am trying................ trying so very hard.................
to smile
to try open my eyes
to love
and trying yes trying to go on.....................
**************************************************************************************************
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET OVER IT?
How long will it take to get over the feeling of sorrow?
A lifetime.
How long will I continue to feel guilty?
As long as it takes you to realize you did NOTHING WRONG.
How long will it take me to get over my anger?
As long as it will take you to stop blaming yourself and others, and try realize it was the combination of unpredictable happenings that occur in one's lifetime.
Why do some friends give such horrid advice?
To cover upr their own inability to handle the situation.
Will i ever be happy again and be able to laugh?
An emphatic YES
How Long is long?
As long as it takes for you to go through the process.
Each individual has his or her own timetable, but it is up to you to make the decision when to start healing........
**************************************************************************************************
One more........ the last but not least for all my very very special GONE TO SOON FRIENDS whom have given love, care and support.....
Thank you...
Thank you .....
I FORGOT
I forgot what life is all about... I forgot what it meant to cry..
I forgot that pretending to be happy doesnt make you happy..
And pretending to be smart doesnt make you smart...
I forgot that you cant FORGET the past in fear of the future..
I forgot that you cant control falling in love... and you cant make yourself fall in loe....
I learned that it is okay to mess up and it is okay to ask for HELP .... and it is okay to fell like HELL.
I have learnt that sometimes the things you want MOST , you just CANT HAVE.
I learnt that the greatest thing in life is not the parties or the hook-ups.......
ITS THE FRIENDSHIPS which means taking chances......
I have learnt that the things we want to forget, are the things we need to talk about .....
SO, this is a THANK YOU FOR ALL MY FRIENDS - my GONE TOO SOON FRIENDS..... for ALWAYS BEING THERE
May God bless you all - May he Hold you tight and give you the strength that we dont have during our bereavement...
but seeing a message on a candle lit up - or a photo or a tribute........ THAT IS WHAT HELPS US ..... Yes .... that is what helps us get through the day....... through the week....
I wish you all and to all our angels a beautiful, peaceful weekend - chat again next FRIDAY....
Love to each and everyone of you
Ur much appreciated
Friend

I share this poem I wrote with you and every mother who has lost a beautiful child
TIME IS NO HEALER
People say to me that time is a healer
Believe me this isn't true,
For the pain in my heart grows stronger
As each day I am missing you,
My heart it is so empty
Since the day you went away,
The only thing that could heal me
Would be you back here to stay,
We all know that’s impossible
As you have gone too far,
Too far for me to reach you
You are my guiding star,
We will meet again in Heaven
One bright and sunny day,
Back in the arms of you Mother
Is where you will always stay?
God will reunite us with the Angels
In Heaven up above,
Where we can live forever
Wrapped in Eternal love,
You will wait at the gates of Heaven
Until the time is right,
You will open up your arms to your Mother
You will call me to the light,
Then time will be the healer
The healer of my pain,
Because we will be together
Together Once Again.
