Richard was my first and much wanted son born on September 30th 1967, the day that radio 1 started.
I went into labour on the evening of Friday 29th and he came into the world at 10 minutes past
midnight weighing in at 8lbs. 8ozs. I (like all women) remember the pain to this day but went ahead
to give birth to his brother Derren, just over two years later.

Richard was a hyperactive and sensitive child which was not helped by his fathers general attitude
towards him, developing into something much more serious later which I cannot go into here.

I did my best to encourage Richard in whatever he became interested in, first of all when he joined
the cubs where he stayed for about two years and later in judo where he gained an orange belt.

At about eight years of age he started swimming and this became a real passion as he got better and
better, eventually becoming good enough to win many medals swimming first of all for the Borough of
Harrow then for the County of Middlesex.

I got very involved with it as well, as I was the one getting up early in the morning to drive him
to the pool for training and taking him to various galas and events or at least to the coach or
train station when he had to go with the team to tournaments further away. It was hard work but I
was very proud of him and just happy to see him involved in something that he enjoyed so much.

He left school at the age of sixteen and trained as a baker which he thoroughly enjoyed despite
having to start very early in the morning.

He was a great collector of videos and DVDs as well as CDs, particularly anything by his favourite
band 'New Order' which went well with his other great passion, playing the drums,(the neighbours
loved it really!!!).

He formed various bands playing locally right up until less than a year before he died.

When he was about 18 years old he developed the first signs of O.C.D. which caused him great
distress. It seemed to get a bit better and he later met Jackie. They were very happy together
finally getting married in 2000 when he was 33.

It was so good to see him so happy on his wedding day because we all hoped that it would help him to
get over the O.C.D. which had returned a couple of years earlier, unfortunately this was not to be.

There were times when the real Richard still shone through showing the terrific and often zaney
sense of humour that he had, with a gift for making people laugh.

The main problem with Richard's O.C.D. was the fact that it caused him to worry about everything,
constantly needing reassurance but being unable to believe it when it was given.

Finally when Safeway stores (where he worked) were taken over by Morrisons he convinced himself that
he was about to be made redundant, no matter how many times he was assured that this was not the
case he refused to believe it.

Not long after this he walked out of the house and was found three days later having taken his own
life in a derelict building less than a mile from where he lived.

He had been convinced that he had lost all his friends and had nothing left to live for. Over 200
people came to the service at the crematorium and many tears were shed that day proving too late
that he was about as wrong as he could be.


God bless you Rick and I am sure you are at peace now.
I wish I could have given you a better life my darling son xxxxxx


The song is Blue Monday by New Order ( Richard's Favourite song )
The Lead singer took his own life

PLEASE LIGHT A CANDLE TO SHOW HIM YOU CARE

A Peek Into Heaven
Copyright 2006 Callie Sanders Thornton

Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I'm asking for today.
I just want to know how he's doing,
And heaven seems so far away.

Is he playing on the clouds with angels?
Is he laughing and running today?
Does he miss me?
I guess only he knows.
Oh why does heaven seem so far away?

If you just let me look for a moment,
To catch a glimpse of his sweet smiling face,
I promise I won't try to take him,
I know, he's in a better place.

Just one little peek into heaven,
Is all I'm asking for today.
I just want to know how he's doing,
And heaven seems so far away...

Wendy Heart Broken Wife Of Carl (Friend) Wednesday evening

✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻

Wait for me where the sun shines,
Where carpets of flowers are laid.
A sky of blue the canopy,
All earthly troubles are slain.
No more worry or heartbreak,
no more pain or tears,
Wait for me in the sunshine,
Until then I`ll be counting
The years.

Rainbows are like people,
That can`t always be seen.
That does not mean they were not there,
That they were just a dream.
Their beauty lingers in the mind,
A memory brings them through.
Wait long enough, and you`ll always find,
A rainbow there for you.

Jude Swaddle (Friend) Tuesday night

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*

How do we convey
Just how we feel
When we lose someone we love?
How do we explain
The deep, lonely pain
The emptiness left in us?

No words can express
The hurt and anguish
Nor touch on how we feel
God shares our tears
And gives us His love
And He, in time, will heal

The hopes and the dreams
We had just remains
Like an unfinished book of their life
As an incomplete chapter
Remains unfinished
With nothing more to write

But we can know God’s comfort
And know there is hope
With a new chapter to begin
We can hold on to God
For He loves us so much
And fills the void within

As we close one chapter
Another can begin
Though the one we love has gone
Through Christ’s strength in us
And hope in our hearts
We find courage to carry on

Angels Blessing
♥****♥****♥****♥****♥

An Angel blessing just for you
To pick you up when you feel blue
To love you and to guide you
Angel stars they shine so bright
For they are with us always
Until dawns first light
They sprinkle us with Angel dust
To let us know theyre near
Then shower us with kisses
To wipe away a tear
For Angels never leave us
Although we had to part
I KNOW
Because their footprints
Are stamped here on my ♥HEART ♥
