lewis was a happy little lad the apple of my eye,he wasnt an only child he has a brother conner who
was 18 month when he died.A day i will never forget there isnt a single day goes by that i dont
think of my son. Any parent that loses a child will understand the pain & hurt people say it gets
easyer but im still waiting for that day.I do know conner has made me that bit stronger. Lewis was
every ones friend young & old wear there was fun lewis would always be there. That awful day 16th
july he was playing in my sisters garden with cousin stephen & conner the next thing i noticed lewis
had gone to play with a friend within 30min i heard the lifeboat flairs go off call it mothers
instinct but i just new somthing was wrong as i was leaving my sisters a boy come running to me his
words were are you lewis ashleys mam hes drowning in the sea next thing i knew i was there at the
lifeboat station i could sea my little lad lieing on the sands with coast guards & paramedics trying
so hard to save him with hundreds of people watching he was taken to hospital were i had to make the
worst phone call of my life to lewis dad my husband warren was away working family members tried to
tell me not to tell him how bad it looked but what could i do i couldnt give him hope that deep down
i knew was wrong because i had seen my son in that awful resusitation room i held his hand touched
his face i knew i had lost my little champ,i could only cry tears & say it didnt look good please
come home as quick as you can he had to get back from scotland which would normaly be 3 hour journy
it must of been half that time when he got back by then i had allready been told that i had lost my
lewis i couldnt thank family for everything they did but when we were alone the pain hit us more,i
miss him so so much it hurts. conner is 7 know & each day is looking more like lewis conner knows
all about his big brother & how he died i feel so proud when people ask if he has any brothers or
sisters conners ans is yes i have a big brother but hes in heaven now,life has to go on for me i
have conner that i love so so much but that will never stop me thinking why? & hurting so much i
just take each day as it comes some good & some BAD but with lewis in my heart,thoughts,prays,&
dreams love you allways miss you allways you will always be our WORLDS GREATEST xxxxx
i would like to thank everyone who leaves tributes & lights a candle for lewis it means so much to
me THANK YOU!!! with love kelly xxx

What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

Waiting at the Door

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door

Try To Imagine........
★★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★ ★

Try to imagine what its like
When i see you all below
I miss you all so much
This you surely know
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★

Try to imagine my pain
When i see those tears you cry
If only you knew the beauty
Of my home up in the sky
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★

Try to imagine the day
When we will all be together
God calls us all back
And we will be apart not ever.
