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

Still loved, still missed and very dear.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR TUESDAY

We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR WEDNESDAY

Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR FRIDAY

Memories Build a Special Bridge
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we're with them still
And sooth a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind,
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SATURDAY

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me".

With tearful eyes we watched you,
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SUNDAY

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.

But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

A tear is a drop of liquid sorrow
That I shed for today and tomorrow
A song, a look something you see
Brings back all the tears to me
Yet this one single drop which fall from my eyes
Releases all the emotions that are kept deep inside
One tear starts to flow and more take it's place
Before you know it tears stream down my face
So pure so emotional these tears that I grieve
They come from my heart where they are conceived
These are not tears of happiness and glee
But my tears of love that I shed for thee

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ


When i see a bright star shining in the sky
I will no longer wonder why!
I will picture you sailing to a distant shore
Rainbows, sunbeams, fountains clear
Will always remind me that you are near
When i say my prayers at night
Whisper in my ear goodnight
Till we meet again angel
I will always remember you

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ... Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ...Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

I WISH YOU ALL A VERY ENJOYABLE WEEKEND MY FRIENDS

GRIEVING MOTHERS


We have shared our tears and our sorrow,
we have given encouragement to each other,
given hope for a brighter tomorrow,
we share the title of grieving mother.

Some of us lost older daughters or sons,
who we watched grow over the years,
some have lost their babies before their lives begun,
but no matter the age, we cry the same tears.

We understand each others pain,
the bond we share is very strong,
with each other there is no need to explain,
the path we walk is hard and long.

Our children brought us together,
they didn't want us on this journey alone,
they knew we needed each other,
to survive the pain of them being gone.
If only.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

Everyday in some small way

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR FRI

If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you

A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried

You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR SAT

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered "Come to Me".

With tearful eyes we watched you,

Although we loved you dearly,

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands now rest.

♥ღ♥ Memories of The Heart ♥ღ♥

♥ღ♥ Feel no guilt in laughter
He knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile
That he's not here to share.

You cannot grieve forever
He would not want you to
He'd hope that you would carry on
The way you always do.

So talk about the good times
And the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together
All the happiness you shared.

Let the memories surround you
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture
A time, an hour, a day.

That brings him back as clearly
As though he were still here
And fills you with the feelings
That he is always near

For if you keep those memories
You will never be apart
And he will live forever
Locked safe within your heart ♥ღ♥
