Christopher David Shatwell (Our Chris) was born on 31st May 1982 at 09.16am at Trafford General Hospital. The much loved and wanted son of Sue and Steve Shatwell. Chris was a beautiful baby with blond hair and lovely brown eyes. He was adored by everyone and his Nana Jean Carr treated him like her own son she always said I couldnt love him more if I had given birth to him myself, they had a very special relationship. When Chris was 2 and a half along came his sister and best friend Becki they too were very close. His Mum and Dad split up when Becki was very young and they both remarried Sue to Tony and Steve to Sandra.
When Chris was 7 he was diagnosed as suffering from Petis Mals, a form of epilepsy, this never affected his life and he was never treated any different to Becki.
Chris went to St Anns school in Stretford until his parents split up then he went to St Hugh of Lincoln then to St Antonys Secondary School
Chris was a really good footballer and played from the age of 7 for local teams, Stretford Victoria, Urmston Meadowside, Urmston Town and then just before he died Flixton F C.
On the day Chris died 2nd January 2001 it was just a normal day, I (his Mum) was working and Chris was not back in until 3rd January, Becki was off school so was with him all day. I arrived home from work and started the tea and Becki said Chris was upstairs so I went to see what he wanted for tea I opened the door and as soon as I saw the angle he was lay I knew he was dead it was awful the shock I felt I could not describe to anyone, his step dad tried to revive him whilst I and Becki looked on and could do nothing, when the Paramedics arrived they tried for over half an hour to revive him then rushed him to Trafford General where every available Doctor and Nurse tried to revive him. Sadly that wasnt to be, Doctors and Nurses were crying when they had to stop.
We drove from the hospital in a daze and all I could remember was everyones Christmas tree lights twinkling.
Telling his family friends and work colleagues was so hard no one could believe it he, spoke to his friend Neil about 10 minutes before he died saying he would call round for him.
Chris had to have a post mortem and the cause of death was asphyxiation (just stopped breathing) his consultant at the hospital told us it was the Vegal Nerve in his brain that had just switched off and stopped his major organs from working.
His funeral was attended by many the church was packed and people were standing at the back it was so full, we didnt realise how popular he was.
Chris\'s Nana Jean collapsed on 2nd January 2007 at the same time I found Chris on 2nd January 2001, sadly she never recovered and died on 15th January 2007, I hope they are together and looking down and protecting us all.
Please light a candle for Chris a lovely Son, Stepson, Grandson, Brother, Nephew,Cousin and loyal friend who has left a family devastated.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me and my family over the last 7 years, family, friends, work colleagues and new found friends on this site, It has been very hard at times but there is no worse pain than losing your child and this site makes you realise we are not alone there are hundreds of us Mums & Dads who are hurting and missing our children

Way over yonder
That's where I'm bound
I know when I get there
The first thing I'll see
Is the sun shining golden
Shining right down on me
Then trouble's gonna lose me
Worry leave me behind
And I'll stand up proudly
In true peace of mind
Carole King

With what a deep devotedness of woe
I wept thy absence - o'er and o'er again
Thinking of thee, still thee, till thought grew pain,
And memory, like a drop that, night and day,
Falls cold and ceaseless, wore my heart away!
~Thomas Moore

Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower,
The whole of the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower,
The truth of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.
~ Zenkei Shibayama

If you have found a smile,
That is the sweetest one you’ve known.
If you have heard within a voice,
The echo’s of your own.
If you have felt a touch,
That stirs the longings of your heart,
And still can feel that closeness,
In the moments you’re apart.
If you have filled with wonder,
At the way two lives can blend.
To weave a perfect pattern
That is seamless, end to end.
If you believe some things in life
Are simply meant to be
Then you have found your soul mate
Your hearts own destiny.
~ by Emily Matthews

I still whisper your name -
Thumbing through the pictures
My eyes fell upon your beautiful face
A time of when we were so close
Now your smile I gently trace
Oh, How I miss your laughter
The moments we did share
When that emptiness invades my heart…
Sometimes it’s hard to bear
Just the thought of you…
Sometimes it brings a tear
Missing you… so deeply
Wishing you were near
The hours of our lives… are like the oceans tides
Ever changing… never the same
Yet, I find… When I think of you
I still whisper your sweet name
Brenda Conley 2009
With loving thoughts to and your loved ones.

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

I felt an angel near today,
Though one I could not see,
I felt an angel, oh, so close,
Sent to comfort me.
I felt an angel’s gentle kiss,
Soft upon my cheek,
And oh, whitout a single word
Of caring it did speak.
I felt an angels loving touch,
Soft upon my heart,
And with that touch, I felt the pain
And hurt within depart.
I felt an angel’s tepid tears,
Fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry
A new day would be mine.
I felt an angel’s silken wings
Enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow
A strength sent from above.
I felt an angel, oh so close
Though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today,
Sent to comfort me.
