Our little miracle man came into our lives on the 7th May 2002 and faced many challenges, he gracefully left this earth on 15th December 2008 when he earned those precious wings that he so rightley earned.Fly high Angel you will never be forgotten xx
Then the child opened its eyes, and looked up into the angel's beautiful face, which beamed with happiness, and at the same moment they were in heaven, where joy and bliss reigned. The child received wings like the other angel, and they flew about together, hand in hand.

"A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world.
But then it flies again,
And though we wish it could have stayed. . . . . .
We feel lucky to have seen it."
Declan is our little SUPER HERO, who entered the world on the 7th May 2002, Declan's Birth was smooth and everything was going great reaching the normal milestones until the age of 3 and half months old when Declan had his very 1st Seizure.
Over the following few weeks Declan went through a series of tests and scans which gave us a diagnosis LISSENCEPHALY, which means smooth Brain. We were told that Declan would never lead a normal life, being unable to walk, talk, etc but by this stage we didnt care anymore we had bonded with our little man
Declan reached an amazing 6 and a half tears old before his condition really took hold and he grew tired of fighting, he finally went home to be with god on the 15 December 2008.
Declan Kelly was born on May 07, 2002 in Luton.
Heaven has a special place where all the pain has gone, A place where children laugh and play, a place they sing their song. The skies so blue, the sun so bright, the fields so fresh and green, More beautiful and wondrous than we have ever seen. Laughing, little happy faces, free from any fears, Here the children never cry, there's no such things as tears. No hungry, swollen bellies here, nor one tearstained face, No silent, pleading, desperate eyes in this heavenly place. No arms outstretched towards us, so desperate for relief, No place here for sadness, nor fear nor pain nor grief. There is no darkness lurking here, nor terrors of the night, Just happy children, safe and warm, all bathed in heavn'ly light. All the children laugh and sing, they run and climb and play, Warmth, and fun and happiness, every single day. Left behind are memories of things they could not do, Here they all join hands as one, 'I'm Me and You are You'. Angels are the Guardians of these special children now, With love and healing in their wings as only they know how. They watch and wait and listen, so tender are their hearts, Until the time, from Earthly plains these children have to part. Then these children carried high on Angels golden wings, Will find their new and special home, the place their hearts will sing. Where love, warmth, joy and happiness reigns freely all around, They'll find their place reserved for them in Heaven's Playground Love you always Deccy Doos xxxxxxx

The Cord
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!
I love and Miss you so much little Man xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dandelions from Heaven
Mothers day is coming And I wanted to send you a sign
something you can tell others; "Is from an angel of mine
So I searched the heavens high and low for that perfect thing....
And low and behold I found it.... And a smile I hope it will bring.
So when you look to the heavens and see the yellow stars in the sky
Just think of me .... your angel... in the heavens way up high
And just imagine those stars; are dandelions up above.
Yes! Dandelions are also in heaven; which you know how much I love.
So on this mothers day and you awake and feel blue....
You will notice those yellow stars... are no longer in view.
So look to the meadows and the dandelions you see...
Are the ones I've tossed down this mothers day from me.
And when you find a dandelion that has turned from yellow to white;
Youre supposed to make a wish and then blow with all your might.
For you will be blowing kisses to me in heaven above....
And I will be catching them and blowing them back sent with all my love.
Please know that l am with you.... on this mothers day....
And also in the days ahead.... God and I will never stray.
We will be with you in the morning ....when you awake and see the sun....
We will be with you when you say your prayers when the day is done.
For God and I will never be very far from your side....
For I can now be everywhere.... and God will be your guide.
So.... remember when you see dandelions it is your guarantee
That I am always close to you.... for dandelions are free to roam ....now just like me.
I will always be with you mummy....
Happy Mothers Day....
Love your angel in heaven.

AN ANGEL WALKS BESIDE ME
An angel walks beside me,
I feel him everyday,
he helps me through lives ups and downs,
and whatever comes my way.
He guides me down the road of life,
and lights the darkest roads,
he picks me up and carries me,
when I can not bear the load.
He helps to ease the pain I feel,
he mends my spirit, too,
he holds my hand, and shelters me,
and gives me courage and strength, too.
He speaks to me with words of love,
and he listens to my pleas,
he was sent here from the lord above,
to guide and comfort me.
I know he's always watching,
though his form I can not see,
its a peace I feel deep in my heart,
that leads me to believe.
An angel walks beside me,
I feel blessed everyday,
that the presence of this angel,
will never go away.
DEC WE LOVE YOU LITTLE MAN!!!!!! XXXXX

Hey Dec,
Mummy knows that you are in a much better place, but today honey i miss you more than ever and wish i could turn back the clock just for today. I didnt mind all your equipment going back honey, you hated having to use all that stuff didnt you!!, but seeing the bed go was very hard because that was the only place you truly felt safe even though the last few weeks even that couldnt really comfort you.
Just want you to know how much i love you angel and you will always be Mummy's special boy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Special" is a word that is used to describe something one-of-a-kind like a hug or a sunset or a person who spreads love with a smile or kind gesture. "Special" describes people who act from the heart and keep in mind the hearts of others. "Special" applies to something that is admired and precious which can never be replaced. "Special" is the word that best describes YOU! Love you always baby boy xxxxxxx
