This picture is of Declan and his Grandad Tony. They have been reunited with each other, and have both gained their Angel wings. Tony never got over loosing Declan, and could not talk about him, as it just upset him so much. He was poorly over Christmas with the flu bug, and on 28th March he was taken ill at our house and rushed to hospital with a massive heart attack. It took him 4 weeks to get back to normal, but was told on the evening before he died that he needed a triple heart bypass operation, which he could not have as he had a serious lung disease. He awoke of the morning of his death, had a shower, shave and put clean pj's on, got into bed and passed away peacefully with all the grace and dignity of a very proud man. We know Declan waited 4 weeks for his Grandad to join him, he put all his house in order before hand, so on that morning Declan must have said come on Grandad its time for me now.
RIP you two, I know that you will look after each other.

Declan was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma in July 2002. After 5 months of intensive chemotherapy, he had an amazing operation to remove the tumour in his hip. The first ever operation to be performed on a child in this country. Everybody was amazed at his determination to walk, and do everything that a child of 9 would do. It was when he was having his last dose of chemotherapy that a chest x-ray revealed that secondary tumours had appeared. After another two months of chemo, tests showed that nothing had worked and he was diagnosed as terminal on October 4th 2003. We decided not to tell Declan that he was going to join all the other angels in Gods garden, we let him continue his life doing the normal things, going to school, messing about with his brothers.
We had the most wonderful Christmas, and he wanted to see the last Lord of the Rings film, which we took him to see, and it was quite ironic that the ending of the film, was like the ending of his life.
On Sunday 4th January he was taken ill, and we decided that we would bring Declan home. We nursed him, and he was so very brave, even on the day that passed away we had him Christened, and that was so very moving. He was so pleased, it was like a huge relief for him, he now knew that he would be put with all the other angels, and not in limbo, as he described.
He died at 9.30pm in his own bedroom in his Daddys arms. Life has never been the same for us since. Part of us died the day Declan died. The only saving grace is that we met some wonderful brave children and their families. May they all rest in internal peace, for I know when my time comes my Declan will be waiting for me.
**********
Declan was the youngest son of Darren and Sue, and brother of Liam and Niall. A much loved Grandson, Nephew, Cousin and Godchild. He was a true fighter of his cancer and lived life to the absolute full.
He will be forever remembered as a fun loving boy.
He made lots of friends in hospital and some of those lost their ultimate fight for life, but their memories are forever in our hearts.
Love you to the moon and back Declan. xxxx
Can you see my castle
up here in the sky
its got big golden gates
that sparkle in my eyes
Can you see my garden
its full of red flowers
and they smell beautiful
they hold magic powers
I have many new friends
that are all like me
they too are an angel
flying high and free
They watch over families
that like me left behind
and send them angel kisses
they are friends hard to find
I'm glad i'm in heaven
and that I am at peace today
yes I miss my family dear
but I had to go away
God picked me from many
and said that i'm one of the best
and I had completed my lifes journey
and that I had passed the test
So I deserve this castle
that god gave to me
and one day if you're lucky
this castle you will see
Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...xxx
When it seems that hope has gone
And there is nowhere left to turn
It is then that you will find
That you are never alone.
There may seem to be despair
And nothing left to dream for
No wishes to come true
But it is then that you discover
That you are never alone.
There is hope in the hopeless
And light in the dark
There is someone you can turn to
For you have discovered
That you are never alone.
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
Do you ever sit in an empty room
do you appreciate an open bloom
do you smell its sweet perfume
Do you feel the need to talk out loud
but theres no one there to hear
do you hear a voice call out your name
so close up to your ear
Have you ever felt a sudden chill pass by
and the hairs on your neck stand up
have you gone to pour a cup of tea
but someones moved your cup
Do you believe in angels
do they make you smile
have you felt on on each shoulder
as you walk that wiery mile
Do you know that all these things
are messages to you
do you believe that they exist?
I'll tell you...YES they do
Love & BIG ((HUGS)) ~~ Jane...x♥x
HAPPY NEW YEAR XXX

~~ Crying To Myself ~~
Never asking for anything more
not from the internet, not from the store
yet alone at night while I lay in bed
thoughts of sadness play in my head
Wanting for nothing expensive or bought
peace and happiness is the only thing sought
tired of crying late through the night
not wanting to argue not wanting to fight
Sitting at home for days without end
wondering what happened to my child my best friend
crying for hours as time passes by
thinking to myself why do I cry?
Lost in a world full of worries and fears
brings nothing but sadness, depression and tears
crying to myself seems to ease some of the pain
yet what does it do? What does it gain?
Please take away the worry, the pain and the grief
give me a chance to get some needed relief
to sleep through the night without all this crying
the burdens too heavy, I feel like i'm dying
Strength, love and courage try to keep me on track
these I rely on to keep the weight off my back
pretending and smiling is all that I can do
crying to myself because of how I can't get over losing you
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
Hello Declan, have not been on here for a while, but you know that you are never ever a thought away, and loved still beyond measure.
I had a very nice day yesterday but also tears on my own first thing, it will never be the same will it sweetheart.
I hope you and Grandad are preparing for Christmas, it will be his first with you in Heaven. Nanny is still poorly but she will get better, its going to take time.
There is so much to tell you but you already know don;t you, Niall has got his dream job and is flourishing, it has made him a better person, and her is out there doing it all, you would be so proud of him. You also need to look after Liam and Gemma and their new arrival in the New Year, somthing else that you and Grandad will miss out on, but we make sure that the baby knows all about you.
Going to put your Christmas Tree up tomorrow, more tears I expect Declan.
Love You Eternally and Forever,
Your broke hearted Mummy, xxxxxxx
~~One Day We Met On The Internet~~
One day we met
on this internet
on our keyboards we typed away
we chatted about our lives
our triumphs and our strifes
little did we know
we would let our feelings show
in each other we have grown to care
to each other we are always there
I am so glad we met
on the internet
we have a friendship that is true
I am thankful that I met you
Love Always ~~ Jane...xxx
JUST THINK OF ME
Just think of me, and I'll be there,
I'm always around, I'm everywhere,
I'm in your dreams when you sleep,
I hear your cries when you weep,
Don't be sad, wear a smile on your face,
all my sufferings in a better place,
I've left this world, my bodies gone,
but in your hearts my soul lives on,
I know you'll grieve and suffer pain
but one day soon we'll be together again.
