After an unbelievably brave fight against the complications of Neurofibromatosis, my wonderful
son CeeJay, died of a Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumour on the 20th February 2009.
CeeJay was an amazingly beautiful child who had a life time of poking, prodding, pain and
disability. Somehow he found a way to keep smiling every day and live life to the full. He loved
playing with his friends, going to school and perfecting his skills on the playstation. If you have
the time, please take a moment to read the Eulogy at the beginning of the tribute section. It was
read at his funeral on my behalf and is a lovely insight into the boy I was privileged to call my
son.
CeeJay is terribly missed not only by me, his dad Lee, his elder sisters Sarah and Danielle, his
younger brother Nick, his 'baby' sister Naeve and all the other close family members who loved him
so dearly; but also by the absolutely huge number of people that he touched during his brief time
with us.
His ability to endear himself to others was perhaps most obvious when he hung on in there to see his
14th birthday in December 2008 and received over 350 birthday cards and celebratory wishes from
people all over the world.
CeeJay never knew he was dying. When the disease ran its course in the latter stages he battled
cruel pain, exhuastion and physical degeneration. Instead of bemoaning his lot he spent the time he
had each day looking for something to take pleasure in. A snatch of a TV programe late at night
just the two of us. A part of a playstation game with a friend. A tiny mouthful of a chocolate
muffin. My son, no more than a child, taught me about bravery, spirit and living every moment to
the best.
The memory of his laugh and sunny outlook on life is his legacy to all who knew him.
You've taken your laughter and ready smile to heaven my son. Fly high and sleep softly with the
angels. xxx
Hey Son...
I've been thinking of you today... I watched a new series with your sis last night - Eleventh Hour - you'd have enjoyed it... I miss our special times in the night when it was just you and me... We'd watch a little TV, have some munchies and a bit of a giggle... You're no longer here but I still can't let go of the night shift... Sometimes when I curl up on the sofa I can almost see your bed in the corner of the room... You always were my 'Special Project' CeeJay - I hope you are happy and free and finally able to run and play a little footie with no discomfort... One day my son we'll build those sand castles and make sand angels on a beautiful beach in the sun... The way we always talked about... ;-)
God's Lent Child
I'll lend you for a little while, a child of mine God said
For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or forty two or three,
But will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll always have your memories as solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below that I want this child to learn.
I've looked this whole world over, in my search for teachers true,
And from the folk that crowd life's lane, I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child back again.
I fancy that I heard them say, 'Dear God Thy will be done',
For all the joys this child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for all the happiness we've ever known, we'll ever grateful stay.
But should the angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,
We will brace the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
Chris.........
You were a boy who made a mark even before you were born!! When Ryan was born you object (strongly) to your Mum holding him - we laughed so hard watching you kick your Mum's tummy as she held Ryan!
We watched you grow into a fine young man, hoping and praying life would be kind to you.
Times were tough, times were good but the laugh was always there. Listening to you in your room laughing as you, yet again, beat Ryan on the playstation, the way you would come out with your arm wrapped around his shoulder with the 'winning smile' across your face.......such sweet times.
We missed you (and your family) everyday.......we still do. Living so far away meant we didnt see you so much but the knowledge we had a very special person in our lives never waned.
Somedays we talk about you, somedays you are just in our thoughts but each day you take a little bit more of our hearts. I know your Mum, Dad, brother and sisters miss you more than words can ever say - dont forget to stop by and say 'Hello' once in a while - it will make them smile.
We are proud of you, we miss you and we will always love you.
Sleep tight young man, cwtch down safe and make sure you keep playing kick ass playstation with the angels!
Until we meet again........Auntie Juliette and Ryan xx
The Angels Sang Amazing Grace.
The Angels sang Amazing Grace,
the LORD came down and touched your face,
He held your hand and whispered low,
come with ME it's time to go
The Gates of Heaven opened wide,
the Angels lined up side by side,
a special guest was on his way,
the day they came and took you away.

FLY HIGH ANGEL FOR NOW YOU ARE FREE
