Dear jamie... / Mommy X. X. X. (Mother)
Dear Jamie...
4th June 2008
Jamie, my beautiful boy, four years today since I last saw you, touched you, heard your voice. It may as well be forty years.........or four minutes. Time seems irrelevant. You are gone.
I love you so much my angel, I miss you more each day and life will never, ever be the same. However, you have taught me so much and I vow for your life not to have been lived in vain. You came to me and showed me true love and beauty, Jamie. Losing you was the worst thing to have ever happened in the world but I am determined for your beautiful memory and love to live on in positive things that we can do.
The sadness will never go away, we will miss you always, and wish that you were here with us. We will remember you with pride and love though. All of the happy times, all of the wise words that you said, all of the love that you bought to us. We talk to your little brother and sister about you all the time Jamie, part of you lives on through them. They will grow up with you very much a part of their lives, learning all about you, and celebrating your life and what it has taught us. Losing you was painful to us but for them is just a normal part of their lives, we can gain from the experience and learn from what has happened. Hopefully this will make us better people, putting our lives into perspective and trying to help others and live in a positive way. Living 'for the moment' and always doing those things we talk about and dream of..............
You inspired me Jamie, to go for things in life, try something new, to say to 'hell with it', 'go for it'. After losing you and coming throught it, I can do anything, cope with anything, well, almost! Those little things that before, I may have put off or been to afraid to do, I feel more liberated to try, to say, to do, it's because of you my precious boy. You showed me what being a pure, kind person is about, because Jamie you may have only been four years old, but you had definitely been around for a lot longer than that! You had such kindness and understanding, sometimes you would say the most pefect thing. You were so gentle and emotional. An angel.
I can only speak for myself when I say that loing you has been so painful and taken away a massive part of my life, part of me went with you Jamie. But my life is still wonderful, I have so much. I also have your memory and everything that you gave to me. Hopefully, in time, the sadness will lessen and the happiness of your life can shine through more and more, making me stronger and helping me to do the things that matter. Helping me to become a better person, to help others and to bring up your brother and sister with you always in their hearts, learning from you and living great lives.
Jamie, you are my inspiration, I will never forget you and always love you.

Missing Jamie x / Shel Richards (Aunty)
Claire,
Your tribute to mark 4 years since Jamie went to heaven was really emotional but lovely at the same time and I just want to say that I love you and Pippy loads and that I think you are so so so so brave. I am so glad that we all have each other to comfort when times get hard and when one of us gets down, there is always smiles and laughter around us to get us through, especially from Elliot and Lola!! Jamie lives on through them, but is always around letting us know he is there with us all... I really miss Jamie so much...
Love u lots and lots

Stop all the clocks, W. H Auden / Anon Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.
Jamie/ Juliette Bridgwater (Friend) Just wanted to stop by a light a candle for Jamie, and just pay my respects. You are an inspiration Claire. So strong. Remember Jamie today as you always do, full of fun and laughter. He brought so much joy and is continuing to spread his sense of spirit around all of us, always.
I wanted to let you know that i am thinking of you.... sending you big cuddles Claire.

Jamie is such a special little boy and I know he would be so proud of you and Phil, Jamie now has a beautiful baby sister and a fantastic little brother all down to you. You have lots to look forward to in your life and Jamie will always walk with you until the day you can be together again.

Try to enjoy today, remember Jamie how we know him, he brought so much to all our lives. He will always hold a very special place in my heart. Love you lots Sarahxxxx
We remember your birthday with love and tears, Wishing God could have spared you for a few more years. Missing you each and every day, In our hearts your memory will always stay.
There's a beautiful place called Heaven, A place free from care. A Heaven where God only takes the best, I know because Jamie is there.
He lives on........ / Mommy x x x
He lives on..............
A bright star, still shining, A butterfly, still flying. Sunshine, so very bright, A flame, forever burning light.
A gentle breeze keeps blowing, The moon at night, still glowing. The tallest tree, still swaying, Little children keep on playing.
His love, will forever shine, His memory, always kept alive. Like the bright sun, shining strong, He lives on.
Sleep well little man / Anon (A friend for a while.. )

hugs from heaven / Mel Ajayi (collegue of his mummys ) When you feel a gentle breeze caress you when you sigh its a hug from heaven from someone special way up high
If a soft and tender raindrop lands upon your nose they've added a small kiss as fragile as a rose
so keep the joy in your heart if you are lonely my friend a hug's sent from heaven a broken heart will mend

Death is nothing at all / Anon Death is nothing at all - I have only slipped into the next room. I am you and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name: speak to me in the easy way you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced air of solemnnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow in it. Life is all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was: there is absolutely unbroken continuity. What is death but a neglible accident? Why should I be out of your mind, because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, in an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before....................
You're so Ace / Mommy x x x You came into my life, sweet boy, You brightened up each day. Its probably best I did not know, You were not here to stay.
Your gentle eyes, your podgy hands, Your smile so true and sweet. Your coarse white hair and skin so soft, Your gorgeous small flat feet.
I hope you're in a better place, Where you run and jump and laugh. Although I can not see you, You're always in my heart.
My baby boy, my beautiful son, One day I'll see your face. Such memories I have of you, Because Jamie, "You're So Ace".
My heart won't mend......... / X. X. X. My heart feels as though it will never mend. I miss my boy so much. The pain is getting worse, I don't know what to do. Jamie I love you x x xClose

Waterbugs and Dragonflies / Kate Barguss (Auntie Kate )Read >>
Waterbugs and Dragonflies / Kate Barguss (Auntie Kate ) Waterbugs and Dragonflies
Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in a while one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about with its friends. Clinging to the stem of a lily, it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.
'Look!' said one of the water bugs to another, 'One of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you suppose she is going?' Up, up, up it went slowly. Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn't return. 'That's funny!' said one water bug to another. 'Wasn't she happy here?' asked a second water bug. 'Were do you suppose she went?' wondered a third. No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled.
Finally one of the water bugs, the leader of the colony, gathered its friends together. 'I have an idea. The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where she went and why.' 'We promise', they said solemnly.
One spring day, not long after, the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up he went. Before he knew what was happening, he had broken through the surface of the water, and had fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above.
When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings. The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. He moved his wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water. He had become a dragonfly.
Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by, the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chancd to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs!. There they were, scurrying about, just as he had been doing some time before. Then the dragonfly remembered his promise: 'The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will come back and tell where he or she went and why'.
Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly he could no longer go into the water. 'I can't return!' he said in dismay. 'At least I tried, but I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. Then they'll understand what happened to me, and where I went'.
And the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air.Close
