Dear sweet Joe,
The start of a new school year and I again think of you. You will always have a special place in my heart Joe B xxx
Darling Joe
I wish I could be with you so much. I'm so sorry for not being a good mummy to you, Ash, Kitty & Daisy. I love you so much and just want to be with you now. Mummy xxxxxxx
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below.
With tiny lights like heavens stars
reflecting on the snow,
the sight is so spectacular
please wipe away your tears
for i am sharing 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 here.
I have no words to tell your
the joy their voices bring
Its far beyond description
to hear the angels sing
I know how much you miss me
i see the pain within your heart
but i am not so far away
We really aren't apart
So be happy for me loved ones
you know i hold you dear
and be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year
After all `love` is the gift
more precious than pure gold
It was always more important
in the stories Jesus told
Please love and keep each other
as my Father said to do
For i can't count the blessings
or the love he has for you
So have a gentle Christmas
and wipe away those tears
for i am spending Christmas
with the Lord this year.
Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Joe "
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Son of yours.
My darling Joe. I was at your school summer fair today, selling the bags which I've designed and screenprinted - including one which uses your handwriting! Your artwork lives on through me my darling boy. Ash came to the fair and had a good run around, he looks so much like you and loves lots of the same things already - dinosaurs, Spiderman, lego, your trampoline! He asks lots of questions about you, it's so hard for him to understand that he had a wonderful big brother who loved him very much but we have your photos all around and one day he will understand more but how I wish he had real memories of you. I miss you so much my Best Boy.

Thinking of you at Easter.
Today we'll be at Nanny & Gandy's for Easter. You would have drawn a treasure map, probably for Ash as well. So many things aren't the same without you. I hate having to make "new traditions" for Ash, Kitty & Daisy because you aren't here. I miss you so much my Best Boy. Mummy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy Birthday Joe B
Last Friday you would have been 11 my big boy! We had a cake sale at your school and raised over £200 for the playground in your memory. I'm going to arrange for a new piece of equipment to be ordered soon, the big sandpit with your name on is still enjoyed - Ash sat & dug in it last week! I can hardly believe that you'd have been in your last year of primary school now! Mrs Brecknock was there, she still misses you so much too. We went to Nanny & Gandy's last Friday night and released a big flying lantern into the night sky which we'd written birthday messages on.
Your baby sisters are growing well, Daisy still looks so much like you and she's growing tall just like you too! I wish so much you were here to see them & your little brother Ash. They all need their big brother so we can be the big happy family we wanted.
I miss you with all my heart Best Boy xxxxxxxxxxxxx
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
