Well where do I start?
Laura shines her light all the way from heaven. She is a shining star that will never fade.
Beautiful on earth and beautiful in my heart.
Laura came to live with me when she was 15 years old and it took her no time at all to get under my
skin. I love her like she is my own daughter. She was always bright and bubbly, always had something
good and positive to say. She was a very clever person but always tried to pretend she wasn't. She
knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. She was 19 when she died, the cancer was in her bones.
She thought she'd beat it at one point, even received a bone marrow transplant from her brother. It
hadn't worked though. Laura lost her fight and is now with the angels. She will never ever be
forgotten though, not whilst ever I'm alive.

That's when the cancer gave you no choice but to leave us. I still remember it like it was this morning. I wonder if I'll ever forget the moment. I miss you so much Laura Lou.
Your sister and I went to the cemetery today. We took you yellow roses. I hope you like them. Katie got them for you and a vase to put them in. Your mum and brother also took you flowers. They are gorgeous, just like you.
Keep with us big girl, just as you have been all this time. I love you loads. Always will. Bye for now poppet.

A sister love

Your sister did something really special for your birthday Laura Lou. She had your yellow rose tattoo'd on her shoulder with the words 'We miss you' written underneath. I know this pleases you. I know you would approve. I am so impressed with her for it.
We will add a photo of it here soon.
Love you allways.

Happy 21st Birthday Darling

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Laura
Happy Birthday to you

21 today my love. Should have been parties and merryment but instead quiet. So quiet. I miss you so much darling.

I went to the cemetery today. I took you a single yellow rose. Your mum was there, she'd stayed a while, had her lunch with you she said. She had brought you lovely flowers. Your baby brother had put Lillies in a vase for you and your gran had added a lovely bunch as well.
Your sister and neices also visited. They all played in the sunshine on the field nearby. It was wonderful for us all to be there together.
Only one was missing, one special angel. We were there for you though darling. I'm sure we made you smile.
I love you Laura Lou. Keep smiling darling.

Happy Birthday

*♥~†~ONLY THE BEST~†♥*
A heart of gold stopped beating two shining eyes at rest, god broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best, god knows you had to leave us, but you did not go a lone for part of us went with you the day he took you home to some you are forgotten to others just a part of the past but to us who have loved and lost you the memory will always last.

Hello, Old Friend,
Oh, yes, you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please
Don’t look away
And change the subject
It’s ok.
You see, at first I couldn’t feel,
It took so long, but now it’s real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk,
Come sit with me?
You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, “My, she is so strong.”
They did not know I couldn’t feel,
My broken heart made all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail,
Broke from me…
My child! My child!
The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my child,
I see their blank stare.
“But I thought you were over it,”
Their eyes seem to say,
No, no, I can’t listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say, “Oh, I’m ok”.
But inside I am crying, as I turn away.
And so my old friend, I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start,
You never knowing all the while,
All I’ve just said to you in my heart.

In my thoughts & prayers always. Love Liz & Stuart x

You are my inspiration

Hello darling

I'm sat here doing my course work, concentrating and all the while, you are with me. You help me focus, I use your energy around me to keep focussed and interested. I look up and your picture is on the wall, you are so beautiful. Your smile is ever present. You're an inspiration. Be happy my big girl.
Love you always.

Laura

I remember everything about you,
your voice, you smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.

I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.

I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.

You are gone from me now,
but one they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days...

In my thoughts and prayers always. Love Liz Stuart Maxwell's mum x
