Nicola was killed on her way home Nov 27th 2004 as she crossed the A19 after xmas shopping with her boyfriend Mark and his friend Karl. They had been to the Silverlink, a magnet for kids as there is a cinema, McDonalds and a Pizza Hut. Its a very busy dual carriageway and the only place to cross is at the roundabout, and then they couldn't see the traffic because of the overgrown bushes, otherwise the only way to get there is by car. Mark and Nicola crossed further down the carriageway, where she was hit and killed instantly by an oncoming car.
There is now a pedestrian crossing at the roundabout, the bushes removed and 6 foot barriers down the central reservation. Only the year before Carla Garbutt was killed as she crossed on her bicycle.
Nicola was 16 and had just left school that summer. She was the only child to us, Lynn and Kevin. Her life revolved around Mark, music & having fun.
This is the last photograph taken of Nicola, as we prepared to fly home from Rhodes in early September that year.
She is greatly missed by all her family and not a day goes by when we do not think of her.xxx
I remember that day so clearly Nicola. You were going to town with Mark and Sean.(but i didn't know you's had gone to the silverlink instead) As you left the house I asked you try Ghost aftershave for your Dad while you were there, and if it was nice i would buy him it for Christmas. As you left i was hoovering and glanced out of the window to see you walking past, and that would be the last time i saw you. I wasn't out that day and was watching tv when at about 4 o'clock Karl, (Mark's friend) knocked at the door and told me you 'had been run over and were unconcious on the road'. He pointed in the direction of the A19. I ran out and told him to run ahead. When i came to the bridge i seen an ambulance flashing down the A19 but refused to believe it was you because in my mind you had gone to town and thought that maybe you had to called to Marks on the way back. I ran past but there was nothing going on beyond that point. I stopped. I knew it had to be you. I ran down that road and as i neared the accident Mark ran over to me and said 'it doesn't look good'. A nurse who had been passing asked me if i was Nicola's mam. I told her i was and she sat with me in the back of the police car. I asked what was happening. 'She told me 'its alright Lynn', But i just knew, I knew you had gone cos they wouldn't let me see you. We followed the ambulance to hospital and when i got there the hospital staff said they were 'doing everything they could but it didn't look good'. I managed to get in touch with your Dad and told him you'd been knocked over. After what seemed like a lifetime they came, held my hand and said 'sorry, there was nothing they could do'. The staff informed me that your Dad had arrived and i had to ask them to tell him cos i just couldnt' tell him you had gone from our lives forever. The whole family then arrived. I just wanted to go home, but we had to let your little grandma know. As we went into her flat she was sitting knitting and happy to see us, she burst into tears as we told her the devastating news. That night the numbness that had held me together that day left. The reality of what had happened kicked in and the tears began to flow. And they still do babe. x x x x RIP sweetheart x x x x
7 years since you fell asleep Nicola.xxxxx
I wear a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes,
uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step,
yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
We love and miss you sooo much babe.xxxxxxxxxx

Please dry your tears and laugh again.
Let go your hurt, release your pain.
Accept that my time on earth was complete.
My lessons all learned, some bitter, some sweet.
Envisage those who were healthy and strong.
Don’t hold on to the memory of where it went wrong.
Know that the place where I am feels so right;
I’m surrounded by love and bathed in white light.
Don’t cling to the heartache and think I’m afar
For I stand by your side, wherever you are.
In your joy and your sorrow every day
I’m there with my love, just one thought away.
Step into the sunshine, come out of the rain.
For me dry your tears.
For me laugh again.

Tribute For Mon...
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
A RAINBOW FOR YOU ANGEL
All alone in a world full of people
I thought I would never live through
Waking up to the pain of life's lonely rain
Then I found a rainbow in you.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
After the rain came a rainbow from you
After my tears came your smile
You are alive in my dark sky tonight
Thank you for shining on my life.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
Thank you for melting the snow from my dreams
Thank you for touching my hand.
For showing me bluebells and birds in the spring
And the footprints of God in the sand.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
After the rain came a rainbow from you
After my tears came your smile
You are alive in my dark sky tonight
Thank you for shining on my life.
Thank you for shining on my life.

Tribute For Tues...
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
The mountain mist condenses in the sun,
As the rain drifts down from on high,
At knowing a loved ones have passed on,
You can hear the angels cry.
The thoughts we hold of them are dear,
Memories fleeing behind our eye,
A smile flashes and then a tear,
When you hear the angels cry.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
Unfurled wings..touch our hearts,
Whispering softly in the morning's light,
As angels all come take a part,
In acknowledgement of our plight.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
Tenderly cradled no more to roam,
New angels to be born on high,
Hear the welcome as you come home,
Caress our hearts as you fly.
◥◣◢◤◥◣◢◤
With love to you, and your loved one.
Love always Linda.:) ♥

ჱܓ MEMORIES ჱܓ
Those we love remain with us...
In the whisper of the wind
In a soft rain that falls from Heaven
In each sunrise
In every single star that lights the night sky and
In every single memory we hold within our hearts.

The Song of the FORGET-ME-NOT FAIRY ♥
So small, so blue, in grassy places.
My flowers raise their tiny faces.
By streams my bigger sisters grow,
And smile in gardens, in a row.
I've never seen a garden plot;
But though I'm small,
Forget me not!
~By Cicely Mary Barker~
