STILL PRAY IT ISNT TRUE SON X
I will never forget that day 22nd December as the pain is etched in my heart. The day my beautiful,only son was taken from me, I relive it daily as a waking nightmare and I know I too, died that day and now I live my life waiting to be with him again.
I will get round to writing a fitting eulogy for Dean as his life had so much meaning and he meant so much to so many but at the moment its all still jumbled up in my head.
Trying to get through each day without him is all I can do at the moment.

Dean was 18 yrs old. He died 22nd December 2007 @10.15pm on woodhouse rd davyhulme. Dean was an innocent passenger in a car that overturned. Another special man Paul Dobson aged 24 died a few days later in hospital, Paul was also just a passenger. . Dean will be missed by all of his loving family Ann his mum. Tony his dad, Sarah his big sis and Jake his nephew.

Dean will be truly missed by everyone who had the chance to know him he was a great guy and lifelong friend to Barker, Badge and Cunny.
Dean worked at Virgin Media with his dad and wanted to train to become a chef.He was an avid United supporter and loved watching the games with his Dad.
Nobody will forget his kind heart and beautiful smile. He would give anybody a chance and was there for anybody who needed him. His kind heart will live with us always and his passion for life has inspired us to keep strong and be decent people.

Never will the day come we wont think of you. Keep surrounding us with your love and we can remember the joy you brought us every time we opened our eyes. You were a true gooden. Life as we know it will never be the same.

Proudest family EVER XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I would like to thank everyone who has took the time to write on here, Thankyou xx

On 29th January 2009 Barry Woods was sentenced to 5 years 6 months for 2 counts of death by dangerous driving of Dean Obrien and Paul Dobson.
Both families knew that this was the best we could hope for and so Justice as it stands at the moment was done.
This is not the end just the beggining of another
road we will travel down and I now look to Dean to help us get through each day and to keep his memory strong, Happy memories of happy times,times that make you smile, memories that can never be taken from us.
Im not going to write bitter things as that will wear me down and make me weaker and make me a person Dean wouldnt like, instead I will put my anger and hurt away and try to concentrate on the love I had and always will
LOVE YOU MY SON MY BABY BOY XX

Just the average family
We didn't ask for more,
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door

This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why,
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye

Our world just fell to pieces
We cried in disbelief,
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief

We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair,
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you standing there
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where did that smile go?
The one you saved just for me
A smile between Mother and son
There for all the world to see
Created in an instant
Even before your birth
That smile warmed my soul
And gave me Heaven on earth

Where did that smile go?
The one that was mine alone
I cannot seem to find it
It isn’t in our home
I’ve looked in every room
I’ve hunted high and low
I’m feeling lost without it
I really miss it so

Where did that smile go?
The one that could melt my heart
I would have hidden you away
If I’d known we’d have to part
It’s lonely here without you
It’s a shadow life I lead
And tucked in every moment
Is a sad and painful need

Where did that smile go?
The one where love shone through
Where each day was very special
If I shared that day with you
That smile is now my comfort
It’s in my very soul
That smile is breathing life
To fill an empty hole.

It isn’t in the bedroom
That was a silly place to start
That smile has never left me
It’s living in my heart.
LOVE YOU MY BABY BOY, MY HANDSOME MAN, MY FRIEND MY MEANING OF LIFE XXXX


God saw the road was getting rough,
The hill was hard to climb,
He gently closed your loving eyes,
And wispered "peace be thine"

The little stars
That shine so bright
Are Angels come
To say Goodnight:
"Goodnight,
Sleep Tight,
Sweetest Dreams we'll send
To you tonight."

So, if you peek
Outside and spy
A wee star twinkling
In the sky;
It may,
It might,
Be an Angel
Come to say Goodnight.

Yesterday afternoon

Truth.

I could have many,many, friends (good + true friends) on G.T.S. but I couldn't with all sincerity keep up with them all, so, I have had to wheetle it down to my closests ( please excuse my spelling, not my strong point!!) pals , and do what I "HATE" . . . . copy + paste!! But please know that I mean what I say to you all, I don't do flowers +hearts e.t.c. ( don't know how !) but, I am sitting at my dinning room window at 3.am. in the morning, ( can't sleep) and thinking of you all, thinking of your heartache, your sorrow, your loss, just like me, am looking to the sky and can only see "ONE" star !! Could that be our beautiful Angel ?? What a hurt we have, what sorrow that will never leave us, I know ( like me) you all wear your masks every day, and I do try to be happy + possitive, but at the end of the day the masks come off and only we know the hurt, the pain, the never ending sorrow, . . . . "BUT" Rest assured my dearest friends, this is hell , I know, but one sweet day we will all be together again!! You all must know + believe that, 'cos that is what we cling on to, that is what keeps us going !!! Sorry for rabbiting on, but just wanted to say what is in my heart tonight, Sweetdrems of your loved one, and God Bless and keep you all,and I thankyou for all your candles,tributes e.t.c.

Sent with true love, my dearest friends, Much love to you and your Angel

From Linda and DAVID, my child. xxx

Yesterday morning

Happy little memories
go flitting through my mind
and in my thoughts and memories
I always seem to find
the picture of your face
the memory of your touch
and all the little things
I came to love so much
you cannot go beyond my thoughts
or leave my love behind
because I keep you in my heart
and forever on my mind

~~ By Lea Dyer Snow. ~~

Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...

I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...

I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...

I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...

If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...

Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...

Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.

With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.


Love Jude. x x

Tributes For Week Commencing 9th January 2012

....(\' " " ()
..(\"( 'o' , )…Have A
..(\")(\")(,,)….Nice Day

For Monday

You were my Angel,
But angels were too few.
God needed Angels,
And so he sent for you.

For Tuesday

Smile of an Angel,
With a twinkle in your eye.
I’ll remember you forever,
Only for now, I’ll say goodbye.

For Wednesday

Laughter came so easy,
To someone with your smile.
I was lucky to have known you,
And loved you for a while.

For Thursday

I borrowed you from heaven,
Now you must return.
Of all the lessons in my life,
This is the hardest one to learn.

For Friday

You would not want our tears,
To see you on your way.
You always said our laughter,
Got you through your day.

So farewell to our loved one,
Now a part of our past.
Your goodness and your teachings,
Forever they will last.

For Saturday

Your dimples and soft skin,
Oh! How we shall miss,
A small cupid mouth,
Poised for a kiss.

The smell of your hair,
Fresh from the bath.
We’d tickle your tummy,
And how you would laugh.

Don’t want to forget,
But have to move on.
Our most wonderful treasure,
Forever is gone.

For Sunday

I think I'll always miss you,
Hope that this will not be so.
Please say that there's an end
To this, that the pain will go.

Tell me that the memories,
Will soon make me smile.
That there won’t be an hour,
When I don't think of you,
The whole while.

Your memory won’t be far from me,
The hurt will fade to an ache.
Until then I hold together the pieces,
Of a heart about to break.

I felt an angel near today,
Though one I could not see,
I felt an angel, oh, so close,
Sent to comfort me.

I felt an angel’s gentle kiss,
Soft upon my cheek,
And oh, whitout a single word
Of caring it did speak.

I felt an angels loving touch,
Soft upon my heart,
And with that touch, I felt the pain
And hurt within depart.

I felt an angel’s tepid tears,
Fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry
A new day would be mine.

I felt an angel’s silken wings
Enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow
A strength sent from above.

I felt an angel, oh so close
Though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today,
Sent to comfort me.

♥ New Year’s Eve ♥

It’s New Years Eve
The clock strikes twelve
The church bells ring
As another New Year begins

We are hoping for better things
The one thing we want more than anything
Is to have you here with us
But that remains a dream

Dreams of the past
Are all that remain
When we were all together
Celebrating with joy in our hearts

And days full of smiles and laughter
Now they are dreams of the past
No matter what
The New Year will begin

Our hearts are filled with sorrow and pain
Our tears will fall from our eyes like rain
We just want the dreams of the past
All we want in this New Year

Is to feel you ever near
Your smile Your love
Your presence Your touch
Those are the things we want so much

Another year begins
And all we have
Are dreams of the past
With hope for a better year

The Unknown Future

Life is a book in volumes three--
The past, the present, and the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight -- God keeps the key.
