Family flowers to Rainham by 4:30 pm Wednesday.
Donations by cheque for My Shining Star or Kings College Hospital Charity (please specify they are for Lion Ward) may be sent direct to the charity
Or donations for My Shining Star may also be made on-line
Michael, our beloved son,and brother to his twin sisters, fought a brave battle with this illness, we are all very proud of him, the bravery he showed, when he must have been so very afraid.
We are lost and incomplete without him, and our family will never be the same, but we console ourselves with the fact that nothing can hurt him now, he is free of pain, and for that we must try and find comfort, goodness knows how..
Any donations are as stated, but we would also like kings to benefit, lion ward became our second home, the nurses become like family, not only looking after Michael, but making sure we ate sometimes, and often giving us shoulders to cry on, they are all amazing, as is the surgeon and his whole team they fought hard to heal our boy..
thank you for all the support..David, Carole,Rebecca and Hannah xxx
After we have celebrated Michael's life, we will be holding a gathering for close family.
Please do not be offended if you are not invited and we thank you for your understanding at this most difficult time.

Words can not describe how much I miss you. When things go wrong all I ever want is my big brother ❤️

Happy Christmas 🎄 miss you so much, it never gets easier. Laying the table without you, the presents that should be under the tree for you, the siblings who should have you, its all so unfair..
Will raise a glass to you later. Many nights I get home and mean to send you a message, life gets busy and when I do write I usually end up crying, then can't see the keyboard.
Love and miss you forever.

I cannot stop having dreams you are still here, and then when I wake up, I have to tell myself that's all they are, dreams... I long for you to be here, things are so wrong without you. I am emotional anyway, as you know, but lately, my tears are immense. I love you and know the fact you are no longer here. Will not change our bond.
Love and miss you always , Mum x ❤️

How is it possible you are 22 tomorrow? My head will not let me think of you as such a age.
I long so much for one more day with you. But then I know I'd want more days, and it doesn't work like that, coz I live in the real world.
I miss you always, but thankfully we speak your name often, we talk about the fun times, even the times when you did not want to read biff and chip..
I will always feel cheated at losing you, and it hurts so much that your siblings missed out on a amazing big brother..
Happy 22nd birthday, I got a cake as its just not right, your dad picked the one with so much chocolate, diabetes in a box..that would appeal to your sense of humour.
Love you Michael xx forever 13 x ❤️ mum x

I miss you so very much, somedays I feel like I am in a time warp. I go out, and I think I see you, but not you any older, as in my mind you will always be thirteen. I so wonder what you would have become, I know I am biased, but even at the age of 13, you had talent..as long as it was actually doing something, not just writing about it.
Your surgeon is still achieving great things, you have a special place in his heart, as there are not many parents who can say that their child's sons surgeon still messages them.love you always. Mum x

How can it be 8 years since you left our world. I will never be the same, i long to just have five minutes with you, but then I'd want more..
My work did wear a hat day for brain tumour research, we have raised a lot, it was a emotional day.
We have been out together to make more memories, its never easy, so bittersweet, but we are strong.. love you my forever 13 year old boy 👦 ❤️ 💙

Happy heavenly christmas 🎄, love and miss you so much, I hate how time marches on without you. I cry a lot lately, so much has changed and it hurts so much that you are not a part of it. It's never going to get any easier, I know that.
Your siblings are still in bed, despite the fact that santa has been. Love you always. Mum x

Hi, well, it never fails to amazed me where I can find something that will trigger my tears.. doing out our old kitchen and found your calpol in the cupboard.. it was from kings, and had your name on it, next thing I know I am in tears, crying over a bloody bottle of medicine... a few minutes later there was a knock at the door, it was Anne-Maria, the lovely lady who bought you into this world. That cheered me up and she understood the reason behind the tears. I cherish my friends and the family who do not judge. Miss you so much. My dreams last night were hard. They were the ones where I have to remember you are gone, gone from my sight but never my heart.love you always. Mum x

Happy 21st birthday, I miss you always, I don't need a special day to miss you, but today has been really hard, I just cry lots more than a usual day, it's just all so unfair, I should have a house full of your friends and cake, huge cake for such a milestone, but all I have are memories that I cling onto like a life line, to hold you near. It's a age since I heard your voice. But in my dreams at night I can sometimes bring you back. If only in dreams in my sleep. Love and miss you every day 💗 always 13. Love mum. X

Just sitting here and missing you as ever, this grief journey doesn't get any better, and I will never get used to losing you. Your siblings got very drunk Friday, something you never experienced, but there are so many things you should have experienced. I find it so unfair still, and the jealousy I can sometimes feel, it's ridiculous, but it's a emotion I hide well, I think . If anyone ever asks how many children I have I always reply 4, 2 yiu can see and 2 you cannot. I love and miss you forever. Mum x

Miss you so much, yet another Christmas rolls round without you, its not getting any easier to cope with. I will always long for you, wonder what would have been. I was denied so much, as was you and thats not fair. I know I lost you when that evil demon took hold of you, but I still had hope. Now I hold memories dear. I love you always and forever ❤️ happy heavenly Christmas Michael. 🎄
