I can't believe it's 10 years already. Thinking of David and his Mum Donna today. I did not know you David but I followed your story all the way xx

It's now 10 years son so that's 10 less years till I'm with you again... Always look on the bright side of life, love and miss you beyond words ❤️❤️❤️ We'll probably never know the truth!
One year since you have gone and died
They ejected you from that dim lit place
And since that night we have all cried
Because never again will we see your face

You were then walked out to your taxi
What happened were you then put out?
You were so young, hale and hearty
Of that, we absolutely have no doubt

You walked and jogged along the way
We know, as a passer-bye say they saw you
Then the dairy workers turned you away
Disorientated, cut and wet right through

You didn't have a clue where you were
You walked and ran without a plan
Headlights caught you in their bright glare
That dam taxi had room for one more man

But the taxi didn't stop and pick you up
So you staggered around totally lost
Tell me is this world really so corrupt?
Really, was this just due to drink and frost?

Others and I don’t think so my lovely son
For you walked, ran and climbed so far
But its only murder with a smoking gun
Did you aim to touch a lonely star?

Why oh why did you go so high?
Experts said path of least resistance
That’s where they say you would die
Yet you covered such a mighty distance

You went all uphill, windy and rough terrain
Well over the distance experts guessed
So now we will never, ever see you again
Because they say you weren’t well dressed

Yet you were truly lost long before
The cold, yes it got you in the end
Yet now we wonder what’s the score?
Did GHB on this long journey send?

Did someone slip it into your drink?
We know you wouldn't take GHB
So this is the scenario we all think
Except the experts, who refuse to see

Could spiking be a possibility?
Read the timeline what do you see?
Murder screams out loud to me!
Could it be drink, cold and GHB?

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power, but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the madman

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures given up today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
Oh let it come true

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

His Life

David's 8th Christmas

December 25, 2021
The Christmas he remembered forever...David didn't believe in Santa anymore, his wish list top present request was for a playstation. Well along came Christmas morning, up at the crack of dawn! In he races to the tree and selects what definitely looks like the dreamed of playstation, I stop him and sadly tell him I couldn't afford a playstation just yet but as soon as I could he would definitely get one, it's a dvd player I tell him as he looks up at me and says that's ok mum I understand. He starts half heartedly taking the paper of only to scream at me "mum, how could you lie to me like that!" I'm like son I wanted you to have a suprise and he's raging at me and I'm like but you got what you wanted and it was a suprise and it does play dvds❤️, he always remembered that Christmas and so will I. Treasure your love ones everyday ❤️
XXX Merry heavenly Christmas son

Playing in the snow

December 4, 2013
I remember it was not that long after me and kevin got our wee flat by the beach, and I had the pleasure of having David, Leighan, and wee Claire for a few days staying over, well It started to snow and we all went outside to build snow sand castles! .. I still have the drift wood we found!! .. It just dawned on me not that long ago that it's shaped like rainbow .. I'm so honoured to have had you as my family David, sleep tight until we meet again ❤️

Little stories from your life I shared at your Celebration son xx

May 28, 2013

When David was born, my whole life changed, here was this beautiful wee baby, he was a treasure, I just loved looking into his eyes. Whenever I sang to him he would cry and grab my mouth I think he was trying to tell me to shut up and I couldn’t blame him as my singing was pretty chronic but as he was small I made him listen and told him he had no choice! I brought David up with lots of cuddles, games and rules , he was such a loving caring, serious yet fun filled soul.

David didn’t sleep during the day but did sleep all night from six weeks old. When his aunty Susie came for a visit from America we got him christened and he was a lucky boy as he had not 1 but 2 godmothers his aunty Shelly and aunty Susie, David held a special place in all our hearts as at that point he was the last of all the grandchildren and he was just so cute.

I remember when David was only one and I had fitted child proof locks on the cupboards, well Aunty Shelly couldn’t get the sweetie door opened, I turned round and said to David go open the door for Aunty Shelly and off he toddles and opened the supposedly childproofed door I was rolling with laughter but I really think they need to design something a lot harder for children to master, though I don’t know what Aunty Shelly would do if they did!!! 

When David was young I used the 1,2,3 technique to correct his behaviour, when he was only 2 and a half years old he had been naughty, I started counting, when suddenly he stamps his little foot and yells at me IT’S NOT FAIR! WHY CAN’T YOU COUNT TO 5 AND GIVE ME MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT! Well I nearly fell about laughing he was so, so clever so much so it was hard to discipline him at times as he was so funny with it, until of course he hit the teenage years!
Then I had to use his favourite things and hold them to ransom.

David’s Nanna and Papa helped me to look after David for six years to enable me to work full time, he loved it there and had lots of sweets bought in for him, he used to stick to the number we told him he was allowed but as he got older he started to sneak more and more but he was so smart he hid all of the evidence behind a bed, you wouldn’t believe how much he had eaten his way through!

He would have dinner with us, then run round to his best friend Charlie and have dinner there or vice versa, he was like a bottomless pit, I waited on the day Kirsty and Tom, David’s second parents, would phone social services to report us for starving David, as he never put any weight on no matter what he ate!

I also took David on lots of caravan holidays with his Aunty Shelly and the girls, he so loved his girls but with staying in Scotland, we used to sunbathe in the rain!

When David was only 3 and a half I took him to Port Douglas in South Queensland, Australia, where we stayed for four weeks with his Aunty Susie and had the time of our lives, he just loved it, all the different animals and birds. I believe this is were he developed his love of streaking, as he refused to wear clothes once he met the little boy next door who also streaked everywhere, unless we were going out, for the entire holiday!

I also took David to Los Angeles to see his aunty Susie when he was 5, we were right on the beach front and played there nearly everyday, we took him to Disneyland and Sea world, he just loved it except when a seagull stole his cookie, he didn‘t know whether to laugh or cry until we told him it would be replaced for free, then he laughed of course! He even experienced 3d cinema there, where we alll got soaked in our seats David just loved it!

David also loved visiting Uncle Nick and all his cousins, his cousin Nicholas recalls the time we were visiting and David was playing up so he took him outside to play in the garden to give me a wee break, what I didn’t know was he swung David in circles till he was ready to say sorry and behave, it actually worked a treat as David loved and looked up to his big cousin who would play all his favourite card games.

Tammy and Kevin recall when they spent time with David he was about 13 years old and again he wouldn’t be quiet so Tammy said “lets play a game of silence the winner gets a fiver” David replies “ohhhh Tammy my silence is worth so much more than that!” In the end it was £5 per train stop resulting in the silence costing them twenty pounds!

Aunty Donna recalls when Malcolm joined our lives and took us to visit, Aunty Donna was in the kitchen with David, when she asked how he was, he looked up to her over his wee round glasses with solemn eyes and said “I’m not the man of the house anymore Aunty Donna” Aunty Donna had a tear in her eye and said “ awwww hunni that might be true but you’ll always be your mummy’s special little man” at which he smiled and went “ahh ok “ then went back to play.

Now I was asked not to tell this one, I’m sorry but I just have too tell it!
One Halloween David was dressing up as Count Dracula, well my white make-up ?wasn’t very good so Aunty Erika watched David while I went to the shop to get the kids face paints, on my return I came in the door to hear David saying oooo its stinging Aunty Erika, “what’s stinging David” I asked coming down the hall, I walked into the bathroom and there was David face all pure white, Aunty Erika had had the brainwave to use ehhhh white emulsion, his wee face was beetroot by time we got it all off so he ended up a pink Dracula!

From the age of three I encouraged David to think about university, I can only suggest to all his university friends and all his friends attending college the same thing I told David. Think of the end goal and keep on top of the work and you will succeed in your aims. I wish you every joy and triumph in whatever you choose to do with your lives. Live and be happy, have lots of fun but always be aware and look after yourselves! One time I took David by train to Coventry, on the way home 4hours and 45 minutes into the 5 hr journey an older lady, sitting across the aisle from us, turned to me and said “awwww hen does he never shut up?” I just shook my head and said no, no, he doesn’t, as David had talked non stop for the whole time!

 

 

 

The day you were born

May 18, 2013
I will never forget the day you were born your mum went through a horrific labour and then they decided to do an emergency section poor Donna lol I waited in nana and papas for the phone to ring to tell us if it was a boy or a girl and considering I had 4 sisters I was over the moon it was a boy. I wanted to be the first to tell everyone so I ran down the stairs well I actually fell down all the stairs to get down to my mums to let her know that David Paul Ohalloran has been born I was 14 years old and the oldest grandchild and u were the baby. I loved like a wee nephew and I was like ure auntie becos there's only 9 years between me and ure mum so we were very much like sisters.
