As everyone knows who met Lew, it was a case of 'Once In your life, always in your life'.
He didn't breeze in and breeze out, he flew in, crash landed and stayed.
Even when Lew was a little boy, the blonde hair and blue eyes were there to fool us all, The Angelic
Look.
At an early age Lew thought he realy was an angel, afer trying to fly out of his bedroom window when
he was only 3 (little did he know!!!)
He came into so many lives, including mine when he was 12 years old - (I wanted to batter him
then).
He was so full of life, so carefree, living life on the edge - his big brother always looking out
for him. (Tom, he now looks out for you and always will, you are so lucky Tom you have your own
Guardian Angel).
Lew left us on 12th May 2005 as he fell asleep before his time.
Mum still calls him her Sleeping Prince........I know you are not asleep mate and probably causing
chaos wherever you are, organising parties....'First there and last to leave'.
Well keep on love, looking down on us lot who will always love you and cherish every memory we had
together.
All your family and friends miss you so much.
Lew - You brought your brothers together, Dan and Tom now think they are musicians. Keep flying into
Mums life and lifting her spirits and 'Oi Bugger Luggs - keep lighting those fires.
Love You Beautiful Boy

Dear Lew,
sorry if i dont come and talk to you here much but apart from my sad ness of missing you so much i now am finding it difficult to come on here because of the changes. It just doesnt feel right and it hurts my eyes,a lot!
I hope i can come here sometimes but if i can't it isnt because i'm forgetting you ,i never will! it's just adding to my sadness at the moment so instead of being a good thing right now it just isnt which makes me extra sad because it used to help me talk to you when i couldn't get to your resting place.Why it had to change i don't know but i cant change it back just like i can't change losing you.it's just another thing i have to try to accept and deal with.All my love Lew ,.xxxMumxxx
Look after Tom and Dan while i'm gone and Welli and everyone else who you know i love.Special hugs to you all and a far reaching one for you Lew.Mumxxx
You are never a minute away from my mind Lew no matter where i am in the world no matter where you are. You'll always be a brother and you'll always be my yougest son and i will never ever stop being your MUM.xxx

Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no tears in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little – But not for long
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me – But let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone,
It’s all a part of the Master’s plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to your friends that we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good works,
Miss me – But let me go.
Perhaps if we could see the splendour of the land
To which our loved ones are called from you and me,
We’d understand
Perhaps if we could hear the welcome they receive
From old familiar voices all so dear
We would not grieve.
Perhaps if we could know the reason why they went
We’d smile and wipe away the tears that flow
We’d wait content
Miss me – But let me go

UNDERSTANDING AND COPING WITH GRIEF
Millions of people everywhere lose someone they love
It happen's every day.
Yet life goes on around them,
It's meant to be that way
Tragedy strikes and all who know you rally round,
Relatives ,Friends, Workmates too,
Showing kindness and understanding
In all they say and do.
Time goes by,
people have lives to lead
So, only those closely affected stay supportive
At this time of UNREALISED GREATER NEED!
People then are often cruel
Tho' they think they,re being kind,
Of course it's not their fault
They're unaware that your slowly now losing your mind.
BE STRONG!they tell you
Or YOU MUST BE BRAVE!
EASY WORDS to say when it's not your family member,
LYING DEAD ,IN THEIR GRAVE!
Obviously it must be difficult for the inexperienced to understand why you can't move on
YOU STILL REQUIRE THEIR HELPING HAND
AND SUPPORT , JUST TO CARRY ON!
How can anyone comprehend the courage that it takes?
To embark on yet another POINTLESS day.
It's gone beyond the NORM!
SO,they simply STAY AWAY!
Sadly our society seems to frown
On public emotions being expressed
Encourages wherever possible
To keep our feelings SURPRESSED!
I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
HOLDING IN OUR FEELINGS
CAN MAKE US ANXIOUS AND DEPRESSED!
GRIEF itself is not an illness,
tho' it can make us feel ILL
You can lose all your self confidence,
Your insides with DREAD do fill.
SO for all those who've NEVER lost someone,
PLEASE consider this FACT.
You'll NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU DO
How YOUR mind and body will react.
You will never fully be aware of how a grieving person
might be feeling,
They feel POWERLESS,NOT IN CONTROL!
With ALL their senses REELING!
SHOCK, DENIAL, ANGER, DISBELIEF!
GUILT AND PAIN AND SORROW,
ALL are symptoms of their GRIEF
YESTERDAY, TODAY, and TOMORROW!
In no particular order thse emotions
Plague the family members who are left,
Haunted hearts and minds FOREVER
Those who are BEREFT!!!

DEAR lEW ,
I'M SORRY I HAVENT TALKED IN A WHILE I KNOW YOU WILL KNOW HOW SAD I AM FEELING AGAIN AND I'M IN A LONELY PLACE BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASY TO TELL PEOPLE THAT I'M BACK HERE AGAIN AS THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND UNLESS OF COURSE THEY THEMSELVES HAVE LOST THEIR CHILD.IT'S NOBODY'S FAULT IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS I GUESS.I WROTE THE FOLLOWING POEM ABOUT GRIEF AND HOW I WAS EXPERINCING SOME OF THE REACTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE SHARED MY LIFE IN SOME WAY OVER THE YEARS.IT SEEMS FITTING AT THE MOMENT TO ME TO TELL YOU AND ANYONE INTERESTED THAT I WILL NEVER GET OVER LOSING YOU .YOU ARE STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE PART OF MY DAILY LIFE IN SOME WAY AND THAT TO ME IS HOW IT SHOULD BE.ANY WAY HERE IS MY POEM IT'S A BIT LONG BUT IT SAYS A LOT THAT SOMETIMES NEEDS SAYING. IT IS CALLED;
Candles in the Night
Candles flame in darkness,
Flicker, steadily glow,
Bringing light from shadows
And help to soothe me so.
My son, like the candles,
Gave my life true light,
I use the candle's beacon
To connect us in the night.
As I light the candles,
My wish and my request
Is that he'll see my signal
And know my love's expressed.
As his light joins my lights,
Our worlds touch and flame.
As I snuff out the candles,
I softly say his name.
