I still go to your memorial tree and leave flowers, every Sunday, Peter, but not a sign of you. Not at home either?
God Bless, Peter.

"Precious Child" Ringtone to your Cell
Precious Child lyrics

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child,

It's Andrew's birthday today, Peter. I know he's missing you. You should be here. How could you not be here? 
I look at your pictures, and cannot convince myself you are gone.
God Bless.

One year and three months tomorrow, Peter. Still, it seems like only yesterday, and I'm waiting to find that it did not happen.

"Like a comet blazing across the evening sky,
Like a rainbow, fading in the twinkling of an eye,
GONE TOO SOON ...
Like a sunset dying with the rising of the moon,
GONE TOO SOON ..." Peter

"How quickly, my son, you entered my life and how quickly, it seems you went away." You entered this world without giving me any pain, Peter, and you were no trouble at all when you were little. I cannot remember you being sick,crying or whinging. You were such a happy child.Mum

One year tonight Peter, but it feels like yesterday. Every Wednesday night I sit up waiting for that call that came at about 1am. That night too I didn't sleep, I was restless. Andrew and I felt something but we didn't know that you were in trouble, you seemed happy & settled.

Are you really dead, Peter? How could someone who looked and looks so alive - in your pictures - possibly be dead?
If you could turn back time?

IF TEARS COULD.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know

Cous, been thinking of you and missing you so so much.

Can't believe it'll be a year since I've seen you, in a just a little over a month - mum's bday last year. A year since I've heard your big cheeky chuckle with your massive smile when you were pleased with yourself - which was always - often hovering around the kitchen ledge talking crap.

I still expect to see your van and your head pop over the fence when I pull into mum and dad's place - I remember when I had my old room, from my window I could see straight over the fence into your backyard and we'd yell at each other from that distance with my window open. I got used to you being that close - if only it was that easy to see you now.

Miss you cous - love you always

Peter - my dear big cous

I still miss you so so much and it's still difficult to accept you're gone - my heart breaks thinking of you not being here with us anymore.

Your precious Elijah Alexander van der Hoeven arrived today - can't wait to meet him. He looks gorgeous - amazing genes both sides. You would be so proud.. wish you got to see him..

Thinking of you always - love you so much, cous

SPIRITS
Was it just a breeze in the air
That gently stroked your hair?
Was that a whisper in your ear
Of a voice you wished to hear?
When lights seem to come and go
Is it someone or just a shadow?
If a familiar scent is in the air
Is someone saying they are there?
A touch you believe to be real
Is that a loved one you feel?
In believing their spirit is there
Makes your grief easier to

It is with deep sadness that we have only just learnt of the passing of Peter.
He had and still has a special place in our hearts.
Peter was a gentle and generous soul with so much potential.May he rest in peace.

God Saw You

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to ME". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we love      you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

No Person is Ever Truly Alone
by Richard Fife

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.

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.
"God knows I want to hold you, see you touch you, please know you are not forgotten - Precious Child, you left too soon" - playing at the moment.

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.
