Joe Richard Brundish, taken from us cruelly & suddenly on 16 September 2007, aged 8 years & 10
months.
Our wonderful son Joe had a difficult few early years before he was diagnosed as autistic and then
started to receive the understanding of others. The start of 2007 was the start of a brand new
exciting life for Joe - he moved to a new house with a big garden, started a new school and in March
2007 his baby brother Ash arrived! All big big changes for a child with autism but Joe took to his
new home, school & baby brother with enthusiasm. In a short space of time he made many friends and
came to adore little Ash - even changing nappies!
His future seemed so bright but over just one awful week in September 2007 all of this was cut
short. Misdiagnosed as having tonsillitus, he spent a week off school and went to hospital on the
evening of Friday 14 September with suspected meningitus. By the early hours of Saturday we learned
he had Leukaemia and by the early hours of Sunday, our darling Joe B had lost his fight for life,
aged 8 years & almost 10 months old.. Acute Myeloid Leukaemia stole you away from your mum, dad &
baby brother Ash (then aged 5 months), family & friends. We miss you every single day.
Darling Joe, you should be running around with your little brother now. He's 18 months old and looks
just like you. You'd be getting excited to be a big boy 10 years old in November. I miss you so
much, I look at your photo before I go to sleep at night and when I wake in the morning. I love you
so much Best Boy.

Letting go of you
I know I have to let you go.
How I will I do not know.
I know that it's your time to die.
What I don't know is how to say goodbye.
I'll miss you so much I don't know what to do.
I guess I'll just end this poem with a goodbye and an I love you.

Dear Joe B
I'm missing you so so much. I find it hard to come here. You have baby twin sisters now - Daisy Violet & Kitty Mae. Daisy looks just like you and Ash. I've just put Daisy to bed wearing one of your vests and you know what - the day they were born they wore the two nighties you and then Ash wore on the days you were born! You were so proud when Ash wore it and you asked me all about you being a baby, now the girls have worn the nighties too! I talk about you all the time to anyone who will listen. Patrick was here today, he plays with Ash and teases him just like he used to tease you! Oh my darling Joe, why on earth were you taken from me? I can hardly believe you'd be nearly 11 now. I miss you and I ache for you to be back in my arms. My best boy forever and ever. Mummy xxxxxxxx
An Angel's Kiss
We go through life so often
not stopping to enjoy the day.
And we take each one for granted,
as we travel on our way
For in your pain and sorrow,
an angel's kiss will help you through.
This kiss is very private,
for it is only meant for you.
We never stop to measure
anything we just might miss.
But if the wind should blow by softly,
you'll feel an angel's kiss.
A kiss that is sent from Heaven,
a kiss from up above.
A kiss that is very special,
from someone that you love.
So when your hearts are heavy,
and filled with tears and pain,
and no one can console you,
remember once again...
About the ones you grieve for,
because you sadly miss.
And the gentle breeze you took for granted
was just an angel's kiss.
LOVE ALISON XXXXXX
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, to all our dear children
That we do not think of you.
♥═══♥ FOR THOSE I HAVE LEFT BEHIND ♥═══♥
I have not gone far...I still see...
Those tears you shed...are for me...
I am not unhappy...I am not sad...
I just thank God...For all we had...
I did not choose...To go away...
But God told me...I couldn't stay...
He reached for me...with loving care...
Come with me child...If you dare...
Reach out your arms...to those below...
Blow them a kiss...So they will know...
Let the breeze of your kiss... Pass across their brow...
Let them know you are safe...and happy now...
Now dry your eyes...And remember me...
For where I am...Was meant to be...
To you that I have left behind...
The love we've shared...Will always bind...
If a breeze should pass...Across your brow...
Remember from where it came...And how...
Until we meet again one day...
I've not gone far... I am just away.
Original Poem By: Joanne T. Romano (2001)

Remembering You
Your time on earth seemed all too brief
because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself remembering you.
Although I cannot see or hear you,
I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with me at the emergence
of the first flowers of spring.
I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too;
for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly -
Remember You.

Missing you still
Although the days pass I often think of you. Just last week when Ash escaped into school I thought if only you were here! You were in my dreams the other night, arguing hiding under a chair, and I awoke smiling if only you were here! Our yr 6 pupils prepare to leave and move on to an exciting new adventure, I wish that you were here! I visited your house last week and cuddled your beautiful baby sisters and wished, really wished, that you were still here!
Love Mrs B xxxxxxxxxxx
