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

They last through the longest day
They never wear out, they never get lost,
And can never be taken away.

♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx
♥ `*•.¸ 18th NOVEMBER 2009 ♥ `*•.¸
I lit a candle tonight, in honor of you
Remembering your life, and all the times we'd been through.
Such a small little light the candle made
Until I realized how much in darkness it lit the way.
All the tears I've cried in all my grief and pain
What a garden they grew, watered with human rain.
I sometimes can't see beyond the moment, in hopeless despair.
But then your memory sustains me, in heartaches repair.
I can wait for the tomorrow, when my sorrows ease
Until then I'll light this candle, and let my memories run free.

I know it’s hard and painful now
And your heart is truly breaking
But I just wanted you to know
As time goes on it will stop aching
I did not leave you there alone
I’m closer now than ever
I’m in your thoughts
Your mind and dreams
I’ll be with you forever
❤

BROKEN MOTHERS.......
HOW CAN A BROKEN MOTHER EXPLAIN JUST HOW SHE FEELS INSIDE
IT JUST LIKE PART OF HERSELF HAS ALSO DIED
SOME HOW WE KNOW WE MUST JUST CARRY ON
EVEN THOUGH HER CHILD HAS GONE
OTHERS SAY THAT OUR CHILD IS IN A BETTER PLACE
IF THEY SAY THOSE WORDS TO ME THEY ARE A DISGRACE
FOR THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE THAN WITH A MOTHER BY THIER SIDE
YES WE WILL ALWAYS CRY OUR TEARS THOSE WE CANNOT HIDE
WE WILL ALWAYS STILL BE A MOTHER WHEREVER OUR CHILD MAYBE
I THINK MAYBE OUR CHILD MADE US WHO WE ARE REALLY MEANT TO BE
WE MAYBE BROKEN AND SHATTED INSIDE
OUR TEARS WILL STILL FLOW WHY SHOULD WE HIDE
WE STAND TOGETHER BROKEN MOTHERS ALWAYS STAY STRONG
BECAUSE WE KNOW DEEP INSIDE THAT OUR CHILDS SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON
WHEREVER WE GO AND WHATEVER WE DO
OUR CHILDREN WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF OF US TOO.......
