Alistair was just five days passed his 14th birthday when he had a heart attack. He died four days later when we as parents had to make the hardest decision ever by allowing our sons life support machine to be switched off. He loved and was loved by everyone who knew him. He had a passion for creepy crawlies, dinosaurs, building models and his favorite characters were Snoopy and Woodstock. He was a big softy when it came to his sister but he would never admit that! We had a lot of good times and have so many memories. He wasn't just a son and brother he was our best friend.

"I wish that I could say, I'm going to see my son today. To hear his voice and see his smile, To sit and talk for a while. The saddest thing in life to bear, Is to want my son and he's not there".

Love you always forever and a day. Still missed every day by his mum, dad and sister.

"Every time a feather falls from the sky. It's sent by our son who's saying hi"

Just Let Me Cry

Please, don't ask me if I'm over it yet.
I'll never be over it.
Please, don't tell me he's in a better place.
He isn’t here with me.
Please, don't say at least he isn't suffering.
I haven't come to terms with why he had to suffer at all.
Please, don't tell me you know how I feel.
Unless you have lost a child.
Please, don't ask me if I feel better.
Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up.
Please, don't tell me at least you had him for 14 years.
What year would you choose for your child to die?
Please, don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear.
Please, just say you are sorry.
Please, just say you remember my child, if you do.
Please, just let me talk about my child.
Please, mention my child’s name.
Please, just let me cry.

I was only made aware of this website when my friend suddenly lost her baby boy 2weeks ago. I thought i would type in Alistairs name and im glad i did.
Myself and my sister Laura used to play with Alistair and his sister Dawn.He was a funny boy who used to make us all laugh i will always remember him chasing us girls about the garden not because he wanted a kiss lol but because he would have a worm or a spider in his hands.
u will never b forgotten

Condolences

My sincere condolences. What a wonderful boy. He is always going to be with you especially on special occasions. My son Rob is also on the Otherside. He passed from a fatal seizure in 2000. I walk you same path and send you Peace. Please know that our relationship with our children is eternal and they never really leave us. There is a wonderful organization called the Forever Family Foundation which supports the continual validation for the continuance of life and proof that Life does not end with physical death. Blessings of comfort and peace. Karen Mossey

Always Thinking of You

We will think of you in silence
We will always speak your name
We will think of you each day
Though life will never be the same
We will take your hand and hold you tight
We will talk to you in our dreams tonight
We will remember you when we're awake
No others understand our heartache
We smile with them and hide our pain
No others understand life can never be the same
Hidden tears forever flowing are not enough
Alistair we love and miss you
Always thinking of you... stand tough
