MY BROTHER - MY HERO - MY BEST FRIEND.
My brother Chris was born to our mum Joyce and dad Andy. In our family there was me
(Lynn) the eldest, then Chris followed by Giz (Graham) 2 years later. Chris went to Caledonia
Primary school & then on to Bannerman high school, where he was a well liked guy who had many
friends. Chris was a down to earth guy who always liked to have a laugh & a carry on & had a great
love for football where he played in teams since the age of 8.
Chris became ill at Xmas 2000 & in January 2001 was diagnosed with aplastic anemia &
survived on medicine, pints of blood & platelets but then went on to get myoblastic syndrome & was
told he would need to have a bone marrow transplant. Gizi & i were tested to see if we were a match
but with no success. So we all had to wait for an anonymous donor.
All through Chris illness his girlfriend Ashleigh helped him through the good & the
bad times & in October 2002 Chris found out he was going to be a daddy. Chris was so excited he used
to help me with my baby Rhys getting in some practice for his own baby & on 6th of June 2003 his boy
callum was born. Chris was the happiest guy in the world that day & couldnt wait to tell everyone.
Chris happiness was over shadowed though as a few weeks later Chris was given the
worse news possible. He now had Leukemia & his only way of survival was a bone marrow transplant. On
6th November 2003 Chris had his transplant but with no success & on 3rd of April 2004 Chris was told
there was nothing else the doctors could do for him.
Devastation flooded our family but Chris had a completely different attitude. He told
everyone there was no point in worrying about things you cant control. We didnt know how long he had
but he was determined to make the most of the time he had left & proposed to Ashleigh & 4 weeks
later he & Ashleigh had a wonderful big wedding & also Chris & his golden boy callum were christened
too.
Chris tried very hard to make the most of his time left but began to get too tired &
fell asleep on the 1st of August 2004 in the bone marrow transplant unit in the Glasgow royal. Chris
had planned most of his funeral by himself as he didn't want to leave too many things for my mum &
dad to do at such a hard time that was the way Chris was, he didnt want to cause to much of a fuss.
Chris is sorely missed & although its 3 years now i still cant except why he had to
go. He had so much to live for as he was studying sports therapy at college & was training with his
much loved football team Partick Thistle.
So Chris this is for you! The most amazing guy Ive known i miss you more than words
can say. Near the end you said you were looking forward to seeing our two grans again & i hope you
are with them now along with my amazing godson Robert who died this year too i know you will look
after the wee guy well!
Lots of love always & forever

~~ The Angels ~~
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold
May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power
Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools
And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you
When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Guardian Angels ~~
When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
Lots Of Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x

Hi Uncle Chris
I love you from Rhys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It's raining outside..
So cold and wet
Is it sunny in heaven?
It is I bet
Water falls from the sky..
Just like my tears..
That I cry
I cry so much..
And I hurt with pain
Since you went to heaven..
I've not been the same
I miss you so much..
As the days go by
My tears fall slowly..
As I wipe my eyes
I think of you..
With joy and pride
Please keep me safe..
And walk by my side
I look up to the sky..
As I think of you with love
My sweet Angel..
In heaven above

The last two weeks have been very difficult
for us as a family, it was Christopher’s
Birthday & Angel Anniversary within 2 days
of each other on the Monday My Father-in-Law celebrated his 81st Birthday sadly on the Tuesday he passed away. The day before what would have been Christopher’s 32nd Birthday
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each
and everyone of you that left messages, candles,
tributes, gifts & photographs on Christopher’s website I read every single one.
You are all truly kind, special, amazing, thoughtful and a wonderful bunch of people that have taken the time to make me feel better when you are all dealing with your own private grief.
Thanks again
Angela Christopher’s Very Proud Mum

I Love And Miss You Son
The golden gates stood open
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
I love you Son
I miss you Son
I think of you Son
You will always be with me.
Wherever I go,
Whatever I do
My day always
Starts and ends with you.
The hardest thing in life to bear,
Is to want your Son and he's not there.
Sorry Son that I still weep
For you I longed to love and keep.
FOR MONDAY
If I Could Travel Back In Time
If I could travel back in time
For maybe just one day,
To talk to you and laugh with you
Before you went away.
I wonder what you'd think of me
And all the things I've done;
If you'd see the child you knew
In the woman I've become.
The memories I have of you
Are fading now and few.
I walk familiar streets to tread
On pavements you walked too.
We never got to say goodbye
All those years ago,
I was too young to understand
You were too ill, and so...
If I could travel back in time
For maybe just one day,
I'd say these words, "I love you Dad"
Before you went away.
FOR TUESDAY
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our hearts without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.

with love xx
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.
