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 godson Robert who died this year too i know you will look after the wee guy well!
Lots of love always & forever

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

Will i always feel like this
That life is so unfair
Im so sad and so lonely
When i need you,youre not there
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Nothing can ever change this
For time is moving on
Now all i have are memories
Happy days now long gone
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
All the love you gave me
I keep deep in my heart
For sure i know that one day
We will make a brand new start
*~~*~~*~~*~~*
You know just how im feeling
So ill say nothing more
Just be there to guide me
Walking through Gods golden door

7 Years today
Its hard to think that it was 7 years ago that you passed away. You passed away just after 8 oclock at night with me, mum, dad,giz & ashleigh by your side. It was soul distroying watching you struggle to breath, we where all just sitting there watching your chest go up & down & praying so hard for a miracle but you had got so tired of fighting the lossing battle. All i remember is feeling totaly numb when you took your last breath you werent supposed to go that day because rhys wasnt very well that week leading up to your death & i hardly saw you. I had organised for a babysitter for rhys for the day & i was to spend the full day with you. Just you & me for the full day but you took ill & had to go to hospital & when i got there you were drifting in & out of conciousness i still dont know if you knew that i was there. Ive never felt so scared in my life. When we said our goodbyes we all went home but i couldnt go back to my flat. I went out in my car & drove around for hours i just didnt know what to do or where to go & i know you know if i didnt have my son Rhys i would have driven my car into that wall that i sat looking at for ages all i wanted was to be with you. Although i had the rest of the family & my friends i had never felt so lonely in my life, but the thought of not being there for Rhys made me come to my senses and now im having to carry on without you. You have missed your son growing up the one thing that did hurt you the most when you found out you where dying was missing callum growing up but im sure you are with him. Please stay close to me as the lonelyness has never ever went away but i know you are no longer in pain any more which is all that matters Love you always & forever big sis Lynn xx xx

as i look at your picture in the frame
i miss you with every beat of my heart
i whisper and think of your name
wishing we never had to part
but one day we will unite
and our wings will be as one
that will be the most wonderfullest sight
then all our pain will be gone

Dear All,
I will not be doing my tributes next weekend as it would have been Christopher’s 34th Birthday on Friday 20th May & his 7th Angel Day On Sunday 22nd May so it will be a difficult weekend for us as a Family
Tributes For Week Commencing 16th May ‘11
....(* " " *)…Special Angels
....( ='o'= )……In
....-(,,)-(,,)-……..Heaven Above
Monday
Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal
Tuesday
Don't be sad-
I am in a snowflake,
I am in the rays of sun,
I am in the sparkling of stars
Wednesday
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
Thursday
Although your darling Son
Was with you just a while
He'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile
Friday
Garden of Eden
Over some exotic rainbow
Through forest wild and free
Live my darling Angel
Beside some coconut tree.
The beaches are sands of gold
With palm trees lined around
There my darling Angel
Dwells safe and sound.
The sun always shines
It survives just by love
In this garden of Eden
My true love dwells above.

Saturday
It's a Time of Heartfelt Sadness
It's a time of heartfelt sadness
When a loved one passes on
But know your loved one lives in joy
And peace where they have gone
Oh how much they will be missed
That's where the sadness lies
But others who have missed them
Now rejoice in Heaven's skies
We know one day we'll join them
Because our time on earth will flee
We'll then live with them forever
Throughout all eternity
--By Ron Tranmer ---
Sunday
Time will Ease The Hurt
The sadness of the present days
Is locked and set in time.
And moving to the future
Is a slow and painful climb.
But all the feelings that are now
So vivid and so real
Can't hold their fresh intensity
As time begins to heal.
No wound so deep will ever go
Entirely away;
Yet every hurt becomes
A little less from day to day.
Nothing can erase the painful
Imprints on your mind;
But there are softer memories
That time will let you find.
Though your heart won't let the sadness
Simply slide away,
The echoes will diminish
Even though memories stay.

THOSE FEW MOMENTS WE HAD TOGETHER,
