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

~♥~ Our Guardian Angels will speak to us
in many different ways ~♥~
~♥~ They'll whisper joy from a bird's song
or wind through a majestic pine ~♥~
~♥~ Or laugh amid the rolling clouds
in a joyous thunder clap ~♥~
~♥~ Or whisper love through a turtle dove
or from a puppy's joyous yap ~♥~
~♥~ So listen closely to every sound
that might come your way ~♥~
~♥~ It could be your angel saying,
"Have a Wonderful Day." ~♥~

With love

Imagine if you would, the clouds floating by,
They are not really clouds, but angels in the sky.
*♥*
With beautiful smiles upon all of their lips,
They drink from the fountain of life with refreshing sips.
*♥*
And imagine the glows on each smiling face,
Because there is no hatred up there not even a trace.
*♥*
They have golden halos atop glimmering hair,
Plucking stars from the heavens to use for their chairs.
*♥*
They wear gowns made of stardust trimmed in silver and gold,
Each one is ageless living in a home where they never grow old.
*♥*
Do not be surprised when the clouds are not clouds any more,
But the angels sent by Jesus to hold open heavens door.
*♥*
Smiling as they say, "Jesus wants you to come in,"
"He loves you so much He died for your sins."
*♥*
Are you looking at the clouds as they slowly float by?
Hey! Those aren't really clouds, they're angels in the sky!
*♥*

Having you not with me
Hurts more and more each day
Although I feel a closeness
In a very special way
Even as I go to sleep
Every thought is of you
And I never thought i'd miss you
In everything I do
So i'm hoping that these words
May some how let you know
That you're in my heart forever
And i'll always love you so
The one and only thing
That helps me with the pain
Is dreaming of the time
When I will see you again.

Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.
GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. XxX
~ There Is A Place ~
♥****♥****♥****♥****♥****♥
There is a place high up above
Where Angels dwell, so full of love;
Soft music plays and rainbows fair
Swirl round the mansion God prepared.
There is much laughter, joyous glee
In this great place we all shall be.
And in the glorious days to come,
The Angels greet their loved ones home,
They wrap their wings around so tight,
And guide them up into the light.
This paradise waits for all who pray,
For those that believe in God, come what may,
For death is no more in His Heaven above,
Just happiness dwelling in sweet Angel's love.

THINKING OF YOU
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
Although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
To ease the sense of loss
That you’re experiencing today.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
To all of the cherished moments
Of the past,
To the blessings and the laughter,
The joys and the celebrations,
The sorrow and the tears.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
They all add up to a treasure
Of fond yesterdays
That you shared and spent together,
And they keep the one you loved
Close to you in spirit and thought.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
The special moments
And memories of your life
Will never change.
They will always be in your heart
Today and forever more.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
Thinking of you Barbara and family
Love Brenda xxxxx
If we could visit heaven,
And be with you today,
Maybe for the moment,
The pain would go away
We'd put our arms around you,
And whisper words so true,
That living life without you,
Is so hard to do.
Love Janet xxxxxx
As It Dawns Another Year
♥===♥===♥====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥
Those who love you, sadly miss you,
As it dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking,
Thoughts of you are ever near.
Your charming ways and smiling face,
Are a pleasure to recall,
You had a kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.
Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one was down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories you left behind.
♥===♥===♥====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥
