Elaine was called Double trouble by the nurses on the hospital wards and to be honest, she was
trouble especially when you crossed her line and she never passed unnoticed. she enjoyed playing
games with nurses, doctors and cheering up other sick children in the hospital. This made Elaine vey
popular in every hospital she visited, staffs would call on her if a sick child is scared of putting
a feeding tube down her nose and, Elaine would tell the child how easy it is and that it was not
painful, you just feel a bit uncomfortable though,she confessed to me that it was a bit painful and
she were only saying it for the children'sake. She always wanted things her way no other way. Elaine
was the controlling type and little miss bossy. She loved pink and purpple colours, dancing to
Jamelia number; DJ give me a bit more and Beyonce's music. She was a best friend of dolphins whom
she said were very friendly and loving animals and she was scared of sharks.
Elaine was not only double trouble, but also a very talented, sweet, loving, caring, intelligent and
a very brave little girl who a lot of people thought she had lived past her years. Elaine was always
smiling, cheerful, loving and full of strength. At 3years, Elaine was diagnosed with childhood
cancer of the kidney (Wilm's tumur). I was really scared and worried that l was going to lose her
and, l will never forget that moment. Fortunately, Elaine battled this cancer with strong doses of
chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endless visits in the theatre. At 5years, we were given the all
clear, we were on cloud nine, little did we know the worst was about to happen, as one Pastor
said... "when it comes to cancer, it is always around." And surely it was just around somewhere not
very far and finally it cought up with us.
Despite her illness, Elaine lived a very normal life like any child of her age. She enjoyed playing
rough games like tom boy and loved swimming so much though, there was no chance for that as her body
was inserted with tubes and swimming would cause more infections than what she had. The two schools
she attended, she was held so special and loved by all the pupils and the teachers. In a way, she
hated it as all the time her fellow pupils wanted to help her thinking she wouldn't be able to do
it. She also enjoyed helping mummy at home with domestic chores like making her bed, ironing,
washing up, tidying the house and doing the very naughtiest things given a chance.
At 6years, Elaine was diagnosed with Leukaemia (AML) cancer of the blood. Despite Elaine's strength
and her much love for life, she couldn't fight anymore!!! She felt something she could not put in
words a sense of helplessness or weakness.. as one day she said to me " mum have you ever felt the
way i feel?"l asked her how and she demostrated with little words... "you know how you feel like you
are tired, and you don't want to sleep but you have to because you are exhousted?" "That is how l
feel." That was an indicator that her body was each passing day getting weaker and weaker a thing
she termed "my body is failing me."
She felt it in her body and she told me she can not carry on any more like the way she felt!!! She
said l needed a life not going from one hospital to another and l was pregnant with her baby sister.
We all cried that day and she told me not to worry because all of us were going to die at one point.
Actually she thought it was her fault for us to be going through what we were going through that
time. l assured her it wasn't and l promised to be there for her any time all the time. She said
all she wanted was to see her baby sister, who was still in my tummy by then, and came during
Elaine's hardest times in her life. But, that did not stop Elaine from sharing with her baby sister
what she wished to share most with every one around her, "PASSION," they grew fond of each other
despite the hard times Elaine was going through.
But, even before her baby sister was born, Elaine had told me to name the baby Rianne after her best
teacher, Ria who was her best friend and whom she called "my other mum" and Ria's mum Yvonne. She
thought the way things where going, she won't live any longer to see her baby sister. Thank God,
she saw her, played with her, dressed her and bathed her whenever she could. Elaine got so tired of
the treatment and staying in the hospital that all she said to me was... "mom my body is failing me,
it cannot take this anymore, am not gonna get any better, this is not me at all, l want to sleep,
please let me go mummy."
Elaine went to sleep on the 5th of May 2006 at 9.53 am. She was only 7years and 12days old and her
little sister was 7months. Her absence, has never meant so to my family, we always feel her presence
everywhere, although Rianne is not yet the talking age, but from her curiosity, l strongly believe
that there are lots of questions l will never find answers, they had became fond of each other.
I miss Elaine every day of my life am just waiting and longing and looking forward to Rianne to
grow up, and tell her what a wonderful sister you were and still is. Though gone away from me, she
is still my loving little daughter!!! ELAINE, you touched so many lives and you are missed
desperately by us all. Elaine, we will never forget you and we will always treasure the short time
we were able to spend with you. You brought so much joy and love in my life and l am so proud of
you. Each day that goes by you are always in my heart never will l ever forget you. Miss your
charming smile, the hugs and kisses, hear you call mummy and your endless love. May your Soul Rest
in Eternal peace!!
Much love always,
Your heartbroken Mummy Christine, Daddy Tom and sisters, Rianne and baby Selena who never got a
chance to share your passion.
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 spoke 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 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 re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed 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 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 fly 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.

ANGEL
When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day, or the darkness of the night.
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.
When something inside you just makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart.
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your head on your pillow, in the dark.
When you're alone, and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung.
When waking up in the morning, any troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel, before a new day has begun.
Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear;
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near.
I'm no longer able to be here in body, but I'm with you everyday,
As my loving heart, my soul, and my spirit, will never be far away.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELAINE

*♥~Bereaved Birthdays~♥*
*♥*
Birthdays are a time for celebration
Not a time for tears
But what happens when the birthdays
No longer mark the years?
*♥~♥*
A birthday marks the moment
A spirit enters earthly life
To share it's special love and joy
And learn from earthly strife.
*♥~♥~♥*
Before a spirit comes to us
It knows when and how it must depart
It chose it's path carefully
We are honoured from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥*
The sadness we now feel
On such a joyous day
Is longing for our loved one's touch
It's natural to feel this way.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
For even though the birthdays
No longer mark a spirit's stay
Love continues on forever
To touch us every day.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*
So hug your precious memories
Closer to your heart
And honour your beloved spirit child
Who chose you from the start.
*♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥*

Sometimes it's hard to understand,
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words,
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead,
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories,
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers,
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend,
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond,
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories,
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes,
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by,
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories,
That never fade away.

SKY BUNNIES
() ()
('.')
(')_(')
The sky is full of bunny clouds
So soft and fat and white,
I wonder if they're hiding eggs
For angels to find with delight.
Because angels like Easter as well, you know,
And there's no reason why
There shouldn't be an Easter hunt
In meadows in the sky.

THE TINY BUNNY

The tiny bunny
Is working all day long
Decorating Easter eggs
While humming a song
He is having so much fun
Making eggs for you and me
And small chocolate bunnies
That he gives away free
But when he is finished
He'll bring them your way
In a big coloured basket
Upon Easter day

A SPECIAL EASTER WISH
This special Easter wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do--
It also comes to let you know
You mean so much more each day
To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way.
