special angel


I had youngster brother Alex who was also deaf and a pupil at The Mount School. Alex was an
extremely loving child who always loved to hug and kiss everyone. He loved watching video of all
sports but particularly golf and wrestling, and playing with cars.

When Alex was 6, my parents noticed Alex's eye is swollen. Then they took him to the hospital. The
doctor told my parents that Alex have kidney problems. Alex used to go to Birmingham hospital lots.
The doctor put Alex's name on the list to wait for a kidney tranplant. He started kidney dialysis
while he waited for a kidney tranplant.

10 months later, when he was 8, he received a new kidney from a young boy from Glasgow, who died. We
were relieved anxious and happy, but also very sad for the boy who died and his family.
When Alex went back to the school, all of his friends and teachers were happy to see him and cheered
him up.

His general health improve, but when Alex was 11, my mum felt there was something wrong because his
legs muscles seemed very thin and he would sign his legs were sore.
On a routine check at Birmingham children's Hospital in August 1999, to see Alex's Renal Consultant,
my mum had asked my dad to ask the Consultant if he would check Alex's legs. The Consultant was
immediately concerned and referred Alex for tests. A muscle biopsy was taken and my parents were
told Alex had Mitochondia Myopathy (there was no treatment) and was terminally ill. They told
parents Alex could possibly live to be young adult, but he could also have a heart attack or stroke
anytime because Mitochondia Myopathy affects the muscles and the nature of the disease meant there
was no way to knowing which muscles would affected first. The Consultant now thought it was quite
likely that Mitochondia Myopathy had caused Alex's kidney problem as the kidney is a muscle.
My parents never told me about this because they didn't want to make me upset or worry, also I was
due to start a new school in September and would live a way from home during the week. My mum and
dad thought they would know when Alex began to get ill and would then have time to tell me but
suddenly on 26th October 2000, I was at my friend Stephanie's. My parents went on the shopping trip
with Alex. They noticed Alex was very tired and didn't have much energy.
When they arrived at Stephanie's house and picked me and Stephanie up to went home.
Later in the evening, when we arrived home. Alex went limp, my mum dialled 999 and the ambulance
arrived really quick. I keep asked 'What's wrong?' to my dad. I was really worried. My dad said'You
and Stephanie have to stay at home.' Mum went in the ambulance with Alex and dad followed in the
car.
Later, my dad come back home. I asked 'what's happened? Is he alright?' He said' Alex have to stay
in the hospital. You will go see him tomorrow.'

Next morning, my mum phoned dad and said' Please come quick because the doctor want to talk to us.'
My dad rushed to the hospital, but me and Stephanie stay in house.
Later, at about 1pm my Aunt Jackie arrived my house and took me to the hospital then took Stephanie
home. When I come in Alex's room, I was shocked when I saw Alex almost unconscious and I gave Alex a
cuddle.
Later, one of Alex's good friend Natasha come visit with her mum. They gave Alex a hugged and gave
him a little gift. Me, mum, Natasha and her mum went to the cafe in the hospital. My dad stay and
looked after Alex.
Then at about 5:30pm, Natasha and her mum went to the shopping. They asked me if I want come with
them but I don't want to because I can't bear to leave my brother. Natasha and her mum went to the
shopping and will be back later.
Later, my mum and dad explain me and dad explain me that Alex was dying. Before they told me I
thought he might have a big operation but not. I was devastated. 'Nooo! Noo!' I cried. They gave me
a hugged.
Then later, me, mum and dad lay next to Alex and hugged him then I felt Alex's heart beats slow till
stopped. I said' Don't go...' and cried. He's gone.
He died at 6:35pm on Friday 27th October 2000, 24 hours after he was admitted to hospital. My Aunt
Jackie and Uncle Dave arrived 2 hours after Alex passed away. They're upset.

It's hard for me to cope. But now I will trying to remember a good memories about Alex.
My granddad died of heart stroke few months after Alex passed away. They're in the heaven together
now.
I love you and miss you so much, Alex.

◕⊱✣⊰◕ Missing You ◕⊱✣⊰◕


No matter where we go
Nor even what we do
Half of us is missing
Since we’ve been away from you.
We try and laugh and smile
And normal life to carry on,
But everything is meaningless,
Now that you are gone.
The one and only thing
that helps us with the pain
is dreaming of the time
we’ll be together once again.
Even as we go to sleep,
Our every thought is one of you
And we never thought we’d miss you
In quite the way we do.
So we’re hoping that these words
May, somehow, let you know
that you’re in our hearts forever
and that we’ll always love you so.

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.

Sleep well angel

FOR A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL

(\ ●♥● /)
( \(_)/ )

../___\

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.

︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽

If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.

︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽

If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.

♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~ ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~ ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~

We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came came shining through

It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I feel less alone

On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on

So though I cannot kiss your face
or tuck you in all tight
I'll look to heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight.

A MOTHERS LOVE



There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.


There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we have dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.


There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.


For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above...
