My brother mark was born on 20th june 1970, he was a year & 9 months older than me, mark was
mischievous as a toddler, but by the time he reached his teens his mischievous years were behind
him, mark did well in school passing most of his exams & A levels, he had some great friends, out of
the blue when mark was 16 he took an overdose, i was 14 and just couldnt believe it, we were so
close, but i missed any signs, fortunately mark recovered physically but was diagnosed with
depression, we thought it would pass, but if anything it just got worse, over the next few years
mark attempted suicide twice, i was in constant fear of losing my wonderful brother, mark had so
many qualities, he was loyal, caring, thoughtful & funny, mark was great at drawing, writing poems
and wrote and sang some of his own music, also he wrote a book of his life & living with depression,
marks career's officer predicted he would be a graphic designer, when i was 20 mark was going
through a really bad period in his life, by this time i was a mum myself, i left my boy danny with
some friends and i stayed with mark, i took him to his g.p & begged them to help him, in my opinion
they didnt, after a week i asked mark to come to wales with me, he wouldnt, he wanted to stay with
mum & dad, but he told me he was feeling suicidal, and almost asked my permission, i had to go home
to my boy, but first i made mark promise he wouldnt try to take his life, all the way from coventry
to colwyn bay i cried, i got off the train,went to my friends and asked if they could have danny for
a few more days, then got the next train back to coventry, we talked and cried & mark promised me
he would try and be more positive,and get some help, over the next few years i learnt to relax a
bit, mark would come over & stay with me at times, we had some unforgettable great times, but mark
had a deep sadness about him that just wouldnt go away, he was in & out of hospital at times for his
depression, but he hated it, so never stayed long, eventually i think mark in his own way learnt to
live with it, he seemed to settle, there was nothing mark couldnt talk to me about, and lots of
talking we did, when mark was 27 he woke up one day and couldnt move his left arm at all, he had
some tests but was waiting to see a specialist, by this time mark was on numerous anti-depressants,
which my mum had control over, she gave him his tablets every night, this was suggested by his g.p
when he was 26, reluctantly mark agreed, yet the whole time mark had no feeling in his arm his g.p
had been prescribing him very strong painkillers on a separate prescription to the one that my mum
picked up, mark was still waiting over 12 months later for an appointment with a specialist, we knew
nothing about the painkillers, by this time i felt that mark had learned to live with his
depression,
on monday 19th of april i was at work, the phone rang at 11.15, i answered it, it was my mum, she
said she had some bad news, i thought, oh no, my dad(he has a lot of problems with his legs), but no
it was mark, my dad had gone into his room that morning to wake him, but couldn't, my brother was
dead, i was hysterical, for the first time in my life i had a taste of what it was like to walk in
marks shoes, i didnt want to be here, a week later mark came home, the night before his funeral (my
mum and dad are from belfast) i stayed up all night with him & just talked & cried all over
him(sorry mark)at the inquest the coroner recorded accidental death,mark died from an overdose of
morphine based painkillers,mark had always left notes in the past but not this time, twice he said
we would be within our rights to take it to the gmc, although nothing to do with mark that g.p was
struck off the following year. Mark whatever happened that night you're at peace now & for that i
have to be grateful,
you struggled & suffered for 12 years, i would have done anything to take your pain away, mark left
behind our mum & dad, his boy marc, me, & my boy danny, the world changed for me on that day mark,
its never been as bright, so i hope with all my heart you're world is brighter now, they say that
times a healer, not for me ive just had to get used to you not being around. I love you and miss you
more than i ever thought possible, youre my best friend, godbless you mark and keep you safe.

I never knew that morning mark,
That sorrow was so near,
I only know i lost the one
I loved so very dear.
You left a place no-one
Can fill,i miss you
Mark and i
Always will.♥♥♥♥♥
If I couldn't do it,
You'd show me the way,
You'd know if I was worried,
I didn't have to say.
You'd just give me that knowing look,
And I'd know that you had guessed,
Everything was better then,
You'd see to the rest.
I haven't got that anymore,
there'll never be another,
who could ever, ever fit the bill,
That you filled as my brother.
♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥
Please, God, forgive a silent tear,
A fervent wish my brother was here.
There are others, yes, I know,
But he was mine, I loved him so.
Dear God, take a message,
To my brother in heaven above.
Tell him how much I miss him,
And give him all my love.
♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥
Surrounded by friends i am lonesome,
In the midst of my joys i am blue,
With a smile on my face i've heartache,
Longing dear brother for you.♥♥♥♥♥
♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥
♥♥
If there is another life
And i am born once more
I pray that god will give me
The same brother as before
As i search the whole world over
Until the end of time
i'll never find another brother
To love as i loved mine.♥♥♥♥♥

God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,
And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you!!
PRECIOUS BROTHER·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:··: *:· ·:*:· ·:*:· ·:*:··:*:··:*:
Heaven made an angel
Then sent him from above
Just to be my Brother
And fill my world with love.
All the joy I ever needed
Was captured in his smile,
He filled my world with sunshine
If only for a while.
Although I thought there'd never be
A time we'd have to part,
When heaven took my angel back
They left a broken heart.

BROKEN HEARTS
BROKEN HEARTS AND SHATTERED DREAMS
LIFE TORN APART AT ITS SEAMS
HEARTS AND MINDS IN PAIN AND SORROW
MISSING YOU MORE TODAY,TOMORROW
TIME CANT HEAL AND WORDS WON'T MEND
THE LOSS WE FEEL AT THIS SAD END
HOW EVER LONG TILL WE MEET AGAIN
YOU'LL BE REMEMBERED, BUT UNTIL THEN
WE WAIT WITH HOPE WITH IN OUR HEARTS
WE'LL BE TOGETHER NO MORE TO PART.
GOOD NIGHT ANGEL XXXXXXXXXXXXX

BOXING DAY 2008
T'was The Night Before Christmas, He Lived All Alone
In A One Bedroom House Made Of Plaster And Stone
I Had Come Down The Chimney With Presents To Give
And To See Just Who, In This Small Home Did Live
I Looked All About, A Strange Sight I Did See -
No Tinsel No Presents, Not Even A Tree.
No Stocking By The Mantle Just Boots Filled With Sand
On The Wall Hung Pictures Of A Far Distant Land
With Medals And Badges, Awards Of All Kinds.
Then A Sober Thought Came Into My Mind
For This House Was Different, It Was Dark And Dreary,
T'was The Home Of A Soldier, Once I Could See Clearly
The Soldier Lay Sleeping, Silent, Alone
Curled Up On The Floor In This One Bedroom Home
The Face Was So Gentle, The Room In Disorder
Not How I Pictured A Lone Soldier..
Was This The Hero Of Whom I'd Just Read,
Curled Up On A Poncho, The Floor For A Bed
I Realised The Families That I Saw This Night
Owed Their Lives To These Soldiers, Who Were Willing To Fight
And Soon Round The World The Children Would Play
And Grownups Would Celebrate A Bright Christmas Day
They All Enjoy Freedom Each Month Of The Year
Because Of The Soldiers, Like The One Lying Here.
I Couldn't Help But Wonder, How Many Alone,
On A Cold Christmas Eve In A Land Far From Home?
The Very Thought Brought A Tear To My Eye
I Dropped To My Knees And Started To Cry
The Soldier Awakened, I Heard A Rough Voice
"Santa Don't Cry, This Life Is My Choice.
I Fight For Freedom, I Don't Ask For More
My Life Is My God, My Country, My Corps"
The Soldier Rolled Over And Drifted To Sleep.
I Couldn't Control It, I Continued To Weep.
I Kept Watch For Hours, So Silent And Still
And We Both Sat And Shivered From The Cold Nights Chill.
I Didn't Want To Leave, On That Cold Dark Night,
This Guardian Of Honour, So Willing To Fight...
Then The Soldier Rolled Over With A Voice Soft And Pure
Whispered "carry On Santa, Christmas Day Is Secure"
One Look At My Watch And I Knew He Was Right
"Merry Christmas My Friend - And To All A Good Night!"
This Poem Was Written By A British Peace Keeping Soldier
Stationed Overseas.
love you xxx
Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes
Or the way you brightened each day,
Or your smile which is etched in our memories,
So you’re never far away?
Could we ever forget those priceless moments?
The answer, of course, is never.
For you were part of our lives for a brief time,
But you’ll be part of our hearts forever.
