'A million times I will miss you, a million times I will cry. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died'
From the minute he was born on 11th August 2006 Jake was the light of our lives. Such a happy, friendly, loving little boy who made everybody smile. I was born to be a Mummy and he made me complete. He was my best friend. I know we will never get over losing him. The world seems so quiet without him. Part of me died too the day he was taken from me. We only had him for 2 wonderful years but he changed our lives for the better in that short time. He was so clever and his loss is just so wrong.
Jake loved Thomas The Tank Engine. He got a huge track off his Auntie P for his birthday and he would sit for ages watching the trains go round and round, crashing them into each other. He loved Noddy & Fifi and In The Night Garden and the little ipod things that came with Happy Meals. He loved his baby brother Charlie to bits and was so proud of him.
Jake died suddenly at home in bed with his Daddy who had gone to bed with him to keep an eye on him while I slept with Charlie in our bedroom. The day before he had been running round at Tumbletots having the time of his life but started being sick in the car on the way home. I took him to the doctors who checked him over and said he had a sore throat and gave me a prescription for antibiotics. He carried on being sick through the night and at 5am Jake's Daddy woke to find him not breathing. We tried to bring him back but it was too late. We discovered 3 days later (after a post mortem) he had a large brain tumour (a cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma) which was never diagnosed and it had started to bleed and caused massive pressure in his head. Jake had been undergoing tests because he had been holding his head to one side and would stumble quite a lot but was only showing some of the symptoms of a brain tumour and so was never sent for an MRI. Jake's case was later referred to a neurologist for review who confirmed that he should have been sent for an MRI as a 'semi urgent' case and they said the appointment would probably have taken 3 weeks to come through so it would have been too late anyway. A complete and utter waste of a precious young life. Every day we ask why him he was just so perfect. The inquest into Jake's death took place in June 2009. A verdict of natural causes was recorded. They said that it is incredibly rare for a brain tumour to bleed and that is what led to his death. They said there was nothing that anyone could have done to prevent it.
Jake took his Iggle Piggle, his Thomas, his Saur (dinosaur) and a doo (dummy), some jelly cherries which he loved and lots of letters and pictures with him to heaven. He was dressed in his Manchester United kit.
Jake, our little man - we love you so so much and we always will. You were the best son, big brother, grandson, nephew and best friend we could have ever wished for.
Always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts.
Mummy, Daddy & Charlie and all the family xxx
You were gone before I came but I love you just the same, your baby brother Alfie xxx
****************************************
Please don't tell me you know how I feel
Unless you have lost your child too
Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal
Because that is just not true
Please don't tell me my son is in a better place
I want him here with me
Please don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face
Beyond today I cannot see
Please don't tell me it is time to move on
Because I cannot
Please don't tell me to face the fact he is gone
Because denial is something I can't stop
Please don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had
Because I wanted more
Please don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad
I will never be as I was before
What you can tell me is you will be here for me
That you will listen when I talk about Jake
You can share with me my precious memories
You can even cry with me for a while
And please don't hesitate to say his name
Because it is something I long to hear everyday
Please realise that I can never be the same
But if you stand by me
You may like the new person I will become someday
*************************************
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Now we know just where you are
Keep on shining through the night
Until the darkness turns to light
When the night falls there you'll be
Shining bright for all to see
**************************************
I'm going to tell you something
I hope you'll never have to know.
I'll tell you how a heart can break
And tears can constant flow.
I lost my baby boy you see,
An angel in my eyes
God chose to take his hand one day
And led him to the skies.
But please do not forget my child
He was a person too
And forever he will live
Inside of me and you.
So, please don't ever tell me
That time will heal my pain
Because not even time
Can bring him back again.
Just tell me he is happy
In that land way up above
He's snuggled in an angels wings
All wrapped in Mummy's love.
************************************
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I will miss you,
a million times I will cry.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no-one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.
Your precious memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you safe in His keeping,
but I'll have you forever in my heart.
If tears could build a stairway,
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Thinking of you at Christmastime
You're in my thoughts today
You've only gone to Heaven
To watch over us each day.
Today we'll spend together
just like we always do
I'm sending Christmas Wishes
with love
from me to you.

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall
All my love Sylvie
A Christmas in Heaven.......^i^
I see the countless Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
It was always most important
in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

Don't think of him as gone away -
His journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets -
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched
For nothing loved is ever lost -
And he was loved so much.
-Author unknown
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky.....
Was in the doctors yesterday & your song came on. I'm sure the people in the waiting room thought I was mad, sitting there with tears on my face!
The thought of another Christmas without you is too awful to contemplate. Charlie's really excited about it, bless him, but all I can think about is how you should be here to unwrap your prezzies & bake cupcakes with me. It's so unfair.
Love you to the stars & back

Please dry your tears and laugh again.
Let go your hurt, release your pain.
Accept that my time on earth was complete.
My lessons all learned, some bitter, some sweet.
Envisage those who were healthy and strong.
Don’t hold on to the memory of where it went wrong.
Know that the place where I am feels so right;
I’m surrounded by love and bathed in white light.
Don’t cling to the heartache and think I’m afar
For I stand by your side, wherever you are.
In your joy and your sorrow every day
I’m there with my love, just one thought away.
Step into the sunshine, come out of the rain.
For me dry your tears.
For me laugh again.
