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.
YOUR SPECIAL 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.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved ones gone
those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in the heart.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved
for those who have loved us
without question, without a word or promise
there is a special place
where there is no pain or fear
where love flows freely
there is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆
I know how much I miss you
I feel an emptiness inside
It shows in everything I do
It's something I can't hide
I simply miss you being there
Life seems dull and flat
Without you nothings quite the same
I can't say more than that
But one day we will meet again
I know that this is true
But everyday until then
I know i'll just be missing you.

just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...
~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~
Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...
If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...
They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...
So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...

I cannot dial your number
I can't get through to you
I called the operator
She did all that she could do
There is no code to heaven
I cannot place the call
No numbers left to try
I reckon i've tried them all
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
If heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to say
Tell you that I love you
Miss you since you went away
And how much I prayed to god
That he could have let you stay
Oh darling, if heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to know
Things I want to tell you
How do you feel?
Should I stay or should I go?
Are you looking over me
Do you see me cry a tear
Questions I want to ask
Answers I need to hear
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
My life has had no meaning
Since the day god took you away
I only know more sadness
More tears again today
Maybe one day i'll smile without you
Until then I will always cry
One day the sun may shine for me
Like it did for you and I
My life was for tomorrow
Now my life is yesterday
I cannot face this world alone
Please show me the way
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring you every day
If heaven had a phone
I'd hear your voice, know that you're okay
I just want to speak to heaven
please do you have a direct line
Operator says no number
But your loved one says they're doing fine
Love always Elaine x♥x♥
~~ The Angels ~~
May angels rest beside your door
May you hear their voices sing
May you feel their loving care for you
May you hear their peace bells ring
May angels always care for you
And not let you trip and fall
May they bear you up on angels wings
May they keep you standing tall
May they whisper wisdom in your ear
May they touch you when you need
May they remove you from each trace of fear
May they keep you from feeling greed
May they fill you with their presence
May they show you love untold
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold
May they teach you what you want to know
About life here and here-after
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Angel In My Pocket ~~
I am a tiny angel
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in peoples pockets
That's where I have my fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though i'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an angel...
I was a fairy in a flower
God himself hand picked me
And gave me angel power
Now god has many angels
That he trains in angel pools
We become his eyes and ears and hands
We become his special tools
And because god is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Is to keep close watch on you
When he tucked me in your pocket
He blessed you with angel care
Then told me to never leave you
And I vowed always to be there
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
~~ Guardian Angels ~~
When angels sense you need them
and angels always do.....
they come unseen from everywhere
to help and comfort you
they hover close beside you
till all your cares are gone
till they can see you're ready
once again to carry on
Then some of them may fly away
and take their gentle touch
to other hearts that need
the love of angels very much
but one at least stays with you
as your constant friend and guide
for guardian angels never leave
they're always at your side
~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~ ~xXx~
Love Always ~~ Elaine...x♥x

I've listened to the footprints poem
a million times or more
of how when only one set shows
upon the sandy shore
it's the lord carrying us
and taking on our load
and his are the only set
of footprints that showed
But what if when we look
there are no footprints to be found?
all we see is plain and simple
sand upon the ground
no imprints showing that our lord
is carrying us through life
helping us when we feel
we can not handle all this strife
Where is my lord now that i've fallen
and can't seem to get back up?
so tired and lonely
trying to deal with what seems
an overflowing cup
where are those footprints
in the sand
to tell me he's right there?
helping me with problems
and showing that he really does care
Does he have favourites, OH NO
please tell me that's not so
but why does life seem easier
for some people that I know?
and sometimes I just scream out loud
although it seems in vain
but often gets harder each day
to deal with all this pain
And then it dawned on me
as I realize how simple could it be
I wonder why I was so blind
that I truly did not see
it must have been a lightening bolt
that one day gave me light
because out of the clear blue sky
I finally regained my sight
I saw a fluffy white cloud
shaped like an angel dear
that helped me to understand
and see things oh so clear
that's when I saw no footprints
and so often wondered why
my lord carried me on angel wings
when he decided to fly.

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

MY CHILD
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went
I asked a lot of whys
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort
I couldn't seem to hide
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again
I wondered if the pain would end
But mostly, I wondered when
It's hard to be without you
At times the days seem long
Sometimes I just sit crying
When there's really nothing wrong
I wish we'd had more time
Before your life was done
I hope your resting peacefully
My precious one
