HE IS NOT GONE
He Is Not Gone. Ease your grief, he is not gone.
For in your heart he lingers on. His smile, his laugh, his special way,
Will comfort you from day to day.
You'll feel his presence in the breeze.
That dances gently through the trees.
And it's his face that you shall see.
For my Precious Child.

Picked some Proteas for you and your father, Peter, from Kings Park, where we had breakfast this Christmas. And a little bit of home too for you, although the roses are getting too much for me to look after.

For you Peter. Precious memories you mother has of you, when she took you to Bali, you were about 6 years old. You had lots of fun, after meeting from friends from Thornlie. Bought this CD and played it at the pool in Bali. After you two learned to sign for stuff, you had a ball!

PETER
No person is ever truly alone.
Those who live no more,
Whom we loved,
Echo still within our thoughts,
Our words, our hearts.
And what they did
And who they were
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

Aunty Joanie, Uncle Aubrey, Anne and I went to your Tree yesterday, Peter. We left some flowers for you and dad. Ten years since you went, Peter. What's happening? You used to ring and ask me, "Mum, what's happening?" Rest in Peace, my child.

For Peter from Kiera. She went just before him. He was devastated.

I STOOD BY YOUR BED LAST NIGHT
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, ...I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew, in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me. - Author unknown

Yes, Peter
You're always in my heart
And you're often on my mind.
I will never let you die
Just as long as I'm alive.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, I will not be here to see,
That the sun will rise and find your eyes; filled with tears for me,
But please know you're always in my heart, and I will forever love you,
And know, each time you think of me, I will be missing you too.

When tomorrow starts without me, I need you to understand,
That an angel came, he called my name and took me by the hand.
He told me it was time to go up to heaven far above,
And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

When tomorrow starts without me, I know that you will cry,
For all my life I’d always thought that I would never die.
I had so much life ahead of me; I had so much to do,
It seems almost impossible that I was leaving you.

When tomorrow starts without me, I think of the good days, and the bad,
I thought of all our fights, next to all the fun we had.
If I could have stayed, just for a little while,
I would say I'd always be here, and then I'd make you smile.

When tomorrow starts without me, I'll realise that this could never be,
As all that would be left of me, is frozen in memories.
Then I thought of all the beautiful things that I would miss tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.

When tomorrow starts without me I will walk through heaven’s gate,
I will feel at home even without my soul mate.
I know this is what I wanted, deep down within my bones,
And God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne.

When tomorrow starts without me I see everything He promised me,
“Today your life on earth is past, and now you can be free.”
“I promise no tomorrow as today will always last,
And since it's all the same you will not be longing for the past.”

So when tomorrow starts without me don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart.

SOMEWHERE IN THE SILENCE
Somewhere in the silence is the answer to a prayer
I search amongst the shadows and try to find you there.
The wind that blows so softly is whispering your name
And I search the face of strangers, as I play an endless game.

WE LIT A CANDLE FOR YOU, PETER
"No words we write will ever say
How much we miss you day by day
Our love for you will always keep
It will never fail it lies too deep
You left so many memories
To us you were so dear
No matter when we needed you
We always found you near
We light this candle in your memory
For all the times we laughed
And all the times we cried
All the silly things you did
And most importantly,
all the care and joy you gave
God bless you and keep you
Until we meet again"
Still cannot accept that you are gone, still waiting for you to come back.
Mother

Miss you and think of you frequently, my precious boy. Meeting you was always the highlight of my visits to Perth. You always found time to devote an entire day doing something with me. I will always remember what a warm, loving boy you were. Love you Peter.

Peter, I can still scream when I even consider the fact that you are not around any longer. Left some white Iceberg roses for you at your tree for Easter, and some yellow ones for your Fortieth birthday. Rest in Peace, my son. 40!! God Bless.

Happy Birthday for yesterday, my son. Not many people leave tributes here, but they do visit, to judge from the numbers, about 50 around the time of your birthday. They have not forgotten you. 

I visited your tree on Easter Sunday and again yesterday. Took you some lovely yellow roses.

I went to your memorial yesterday, Peter. It is quite spooky there, alone, without your father, and now that I only have two small dogs. Rest in Peace, my son. Mother.

To me, you are not gone, Peter. When I talk about you, I just do not believe that I am talking about my son that I will never see again. Mother.

BUT NOTHING IS THE SAME
As another year passes
And New Years come and go
Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same.
We have to hid the heartache
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts the love you
Silent are the tears that fall.
Because living without you
Is the hardest part of all. Mother.

And what they did
And who they were
Becomes a part of all that we are,
Forever.

Six Christmasses now Peter, but it still seems like yesterday.
Nothing makes sense without you.

It is your father's eightieth birthday today, Peter. Where are you? Just remember, those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Rest in Peace, my child. Mother.

Peter, by now you would have joined up with Angel, Aysha, Kiara and Razz.  I miss them all and you most, of course.

Father's Day, Peter.  I wonder if you are looking down on your son, who is growing up to be a handsome boy.
