Christopher was killed on the 8th of May 2005.
He'd been on a night out with his best friend and was knocked down and killed by a speeding car on
his way home just 2 yds from the front door.

Christopher was a lovely lad. He was such good company he always used to make me laugh.
When he was out with friends he always had to be the funny guy making everyone laugh and keeping
their spirits up by talking in a funny voice or cracking jokes.
He was caring and loyal to his friends and always ready to listen when anyone was going through a
bad time and likewise they would do the same for him. I'm so grateful that he had such a good set
of friends and none of them were into drugs or anything like that.

He was a big Michael Jackson fan and would often get asked to perform the famous moon walk which
christopher had practised over and over again from being quite small until he'd perfected it. All
his friends used to love watching him do this, me included, he'd even tried to show me how to do
it.

Christopher was also a very sensitive lad, we would sit for hours late at night talking about things
and having a few drinks and listening to music. Christopher and I liked exactley the same music and
we would often dance together in the lounge to our favourite songs. I miss him so much it
physically hurts. I feel like part of my body is missing.

Christopher was my only child and we were so close. I brought him up on my own for the first 10
years of his life and we had such a bond. There are times when I feel I don't want to go on living
but I know I have to.

On New Year's Eve 2005 it would have been Christopher's 21st Birthday. He had just recently passed
his driving test first time and I was so proud of him. I'd promised to buy him a car for his 21st,
and just shortly after his death I saw the perfect car for sale near where we live. I so wish he
could be here to celebrate this. Now New Year's Eve will always be a sad time for us.

I miss you so much Christopher and you are in my thoughts every waking hour. I will always love you
and you will be in my heart forever. I've not just lost a son, I've lost a friend too.

Love Mum XX

To Christopher:

Another angel to Heaven has come,
A treasured daughter, as you, a loved son.
Her name is Hannah, watch for her face,
Show her around that unfamiliar new place.
Like you, she was called, too early she left,
Another family upset, confused and bereft.

28TH MAY 2009

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 meant for only 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.

*14TH MAY 2009 *

*
For every hour of the day
I will remember you with love
For every minute your away
I shall pray to God above.
*
For all the tears that I've cried
They will fall upon the ground
And every tear that falls around
I will pray your homeward bound.
*

LOVE ALWAYS, JUDE. X

THE JOURNEY

Somewhere a journey begins at the end,
Of this worldly existence we know,
Somewhere a path stretches over the skies,
Where rivers of memory flow,
Somewhere a silence is heard far away,
As the brightness of day fills the night,
Where trials of life are resolved into peace,
When a soul finds its way to the light.
