The things we miss about you
Things we miss about You?
Your smile, your laugh, they way you used to light up the room.
The way you used to dance around to your favourite and usually very loud music!
The way you used to spend hours in the bathroom getting yourself ready to go out.
The way I had to turn the electric off on the shower to get you out of the bathroom and to stop you
burning out yet another fuse box!!
They way you entertained us all with your renditions of Annie, Gimmi, Gimmi, Gimmi, Rita, Sue and Bob too and the many other characters you impersonated in your own special way.
The way you used to make up special names and nick names for friends, family and even the pets didn’t escape!!
They way you were a to us Son and a Brother to your sister.
They way you cared for your friends and family when they needed you even though you had so many troubles of your own.
They way you used to be so accident prone. (Like falling over in train stations and knocking yourself out!!)
The way we had to fight to get the TV control away from you.
They way we all used to say No!! in harmony when you wanted to watch Annie, yet again!!
The way your music pounded through the walls in your bedroom and the amount of times I screamed TURN IT DOWN!!
But most of all, we miss the future that was taken and the Son we have lost and all the future happiness we hope to share. But, Love can never be taken from us and that love will keep us tied together until the day we meet again.
Love you always and forever. Mum & Dad, Tracey, Emilee & Hannah. xxxxxx
To My Precious Son xx
Precious Son
I wish I could see you one more time
come walking through my door
but, I know that Is Impossible
I will hear your voice no more.
I know you can feel my tears
and you don’t want me to cry
yet, my heart Is broken
because I can’t understand why
someone so precious had to die.
I pray that God will give me strength
and somehow get me through
as I struggle with this heartache
that was caused by losing you....
In precious memory of our special Son Philip
who walked through Heaven's Gate on January 14th 2007 xx

stillness
Its the busy world around us that shelters us from the pain of loosing you. Its only when those true moments of calm and stillness fall gracefully upon us. Is when we are truely free.
For its in that calmness we are able to be reconnect with your spirit and hear your voice, and for you to be truely with us once again. For it is the stillness that carry's me to you upon the bond of our love that can never be broken.
Love you Boo xx
Gods Garden
God looked around his garden
which was a beautiful sight
he knew there would be others
who could come to him tonight
He tended to his garden daily
to make it a beautiful view
because he knew that others
would help him to tend it too
He prepared for new arrivals
morning, noon and even night
because he wanted heaven to be
a place that was just right
There was precious rosebuds
who didn't bloom on earth
and god had their presence
right from their very birth
There was mothers and fathers
who had gently gone to sleep
he wrapped himself around them
and in heaven he did safely keep
Also grandmothers and grandfathers
whom the angels did hold
keeping them so warm at night
if they should feel the cold
There was also aunts and uncles
maybe a nephew and a little niece
but you can rest assured
they are all very much at peace
If you have lost a dear loved one
their presence is still all around
you might not be able to hear them
but if you look they can be found
Fingerprints and lots of memories
pictures of them thats in your mind
and when you're really missing them
all these things that you can find
The handwriting thats on a card
and maybe a special autograph
and there again, within your mind
is cherished memories of their laugh
Maybe they also had a creative hand
and left behind for you so much
and when you're feeling sad and down
remember to treasure that touch
Go into your mind in times of sadness
and remember what they didn't take above
can you think of just one thing now.....?
well they didn't take with them their love
I know nothing really comforts us
when a cherished loved one has gone
never forget that in your heart and mind
they stay and will always linger on
hey there phil, sorry i havent wrote to you for a while, i havent had the internet whilst ive been off work, but ive got it at home now. gosh its just not getting easier not having you here, i think about you every single day and sometimes it just hits me like a ton of bricks that you are not here in person. but you know i have my little moments when i talk to you, sometimes in my head, sometimes out loud. i cannot even begin to explain what you meant to me phil, love you so much i know you are at peace now looking down on everyone, and we are all looking up to you, every single day hoping that you are ok. but you are strong (and wont take no prisoners!) so i know you will be just fine. you are never ever on your own, we are all here for you whenever you need us and i hope you are here for us all too. you are amazing and the bestist friend i have ever had, and will ever have. please look down on your family and bless them with strength each day.

To my special son
I do not need a special day to bring you to my mind.
The days I do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on.
My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life I loved you dearly; in death I love you still.
Miss and love you always
Mum & Dad

From my Garden
I am the broken hearted Dad of Philip Booth who was taken from us on the 14th
January 2007. Philip has left such a great void in our families lives. He was
always the life & soul of the party who was never more happier than when he was
getting all of the attention. He was such a kind soul who just went down the
wrong path in life. Philip was taken from us just as he was about to go into
rehab for the first time after trying for more than 2 years to get him into the
rehab centre for the treatment he so needed.
For us it was like being given the gold medal than having it cruelly snatched
away from us just before the ceremony. We feel so cheated that he never got that
chance to get himself back on track and to be the person we all loved so much
not the person he became after the alcohol got hold.
For everyone who was there for Philip and our family helping us through the
really tough times I thank you with all my heart.
To our beautiful son Philip. We miss you so so much and the world is now a
poorer place now your no longer here. Rest in piece our darling son until we are
all together again. xxx
Our good looking son
Hi Phil,
I found this poem on the internet. I feel it was written just for you. Dad xxx
My good looking Son
Where's the year gone, its slipped away
The hours seem to blur, night into day
They say it gets easier as the months pass by,
why then when he's mentioned, do tears sting my eye's
Such a "Goodlooking boy", the world at his feet,
places to see, people to meet.
It all got too much, nothing went right,
he couldn,t find the strength to stay here and fight.
His sister cried "Why did he go,
didn't he know we loved him so?".
If he could see the grief of his friends,
he wouldn't have wanted his life to end.
But that was his choice when all's said and done,
But oh how I miss "my goodlooking Son"
they say that time is a healer
they say once seen never forgotten
your jumper still hangs in kristi's room
she misses you so much
just been looking at your photo's and reading
your messages
to your family i send my love
you grow on in your family and friends philip
and this grows stronger each day
