Kerrie-Ann Powell passed away on October 23rd 2007 aged just 17, following a tragic car accident just one day after passing her driving test, something which she has worked towards for so long. Kerrie was a hairdresser, a passion she had had from a young age. She leaves behind many people who loved her and miss her so much. I am one of those people. I knew Kerrie from when I was in year 8 at school, she was in year 7, and before long we'd sit together on the school bus, and I soon came to learn what a special, beautiful person she was, and I came to trust her more than anyone. I confided in her and she knew how to make everything seem better instantly, whether it was with a hug, a smile or just letting me know she was there. Now she is gone, and my hearts been destroyed. My life has changed so dramatically I can't even explain, and every day I wish it was me and not her. She had so much to give, and that has been taken from us all, and it's not fair. And every day I live with the guilt that in her last few months we only spoke a few times as I was preparing to head to university by working all the hours I could. I love you Kerrie-Ann, and I would give my everything to have you here today.
I found this poem on GTS some time ago, and unfortunately didn't note the author, but if anyone could tell me who it was I will add it immediately. I want to put it here as it sums up all that I feel, but I could not write those feelings myself because my thoughts are just too jumbled:
My world will never be the same, yer there's nothing I can do,
I just try to recall the happy times, the one's I spent with you.
I try to hide my feelings, but sometimes they're clear to see,
Grief is not an illness, it's something that lives with me.
It isn't something I can explain to others, I wouldn't even try,
I sit alone and think of you, and my tears just never run dry.
We are supposed to learn to live with grief, but it isn't easy to do,
When the only person who can stop this pain just happens to be you.
You never thought this would happen, and neither did I,
You're the last person in the world I thought would ever die.
It goes without saying that I love you every day, and miss you so much more,
You were part of my life for so very long, and I part that I adored
xXx
I just came across this poem babe and it's made me cry, sums up absolutely everything I want to say. I'm missing you so much right now, it hurts like hell. Seeing Robert yesterday after Lewis passed away Saturday night has brought all my emotions flooding back, Lewis' friends are now at the start of the most difficult time, I only hope they find ways to cope better than I did.
I sit around and wonder
and watch the days go by.
I look at all the pictures
and ask why did you have to die?
You'be always been there for me
because you were my best friend
and I was there for you
until the very end.
But now it's time to let you go
at your resting place
I will always remember
your smiling, beautiful face
This is hardly a good-bye
so I won't weep anymore
because your in a better place
than you were before
It's so true Kezza, but letting go isn't that easy. It's been over two years now and I still can't do it :( I know it's what you want but I can't. I hope you like your flowers huni, I'm sorry I didn't light a candle, it was an unplanned visit and was in Arnie's car so didn't have the tea lights in there. He doesn't understand why I spend money on flowers and come and visit, but I don't care, it's something I have to do, to show you that you're always in my heart and thoughts and that will be the case until the day I die.
Well I had best get back to some revision for tomorrow's exam babe, please help me through it as I struggled today and want to make everyone proud. Love you so much xxxx
Oh and your mummy has helped me line up a job until I start Taylors again hopefully, she's a special one as you know, make sure you look after her xxxx
This song must've been written about you babes ... I miss you so much ♥.
Your Face - Lemar
♥.
When i'm tired of all the lying
Have no one to hold on to
When the tears are falling
The sun seems to hide behind the moon
Open arms i'm calling
Nothin will ever replace
Though i know you're watching
I wish that i could see your face
♥.
Sometimes i find a corner and i just wanna be alone
I don't wanna say no prayers
And i won't answer the phone
You showed me everybody goes through problems
Everybody cries
But no one can show you what to do when you lose someone in life
♥.
I need you now even more than the air i breathe
You always intervened when things got too hard for me
Where are you now?
Can you reach me somehow?
♥.
When i'm tired of all the lying
Have no one to hold on to
When the tears are falling
The sun seems to hide behind the moon
Open arms i'm calling
Nothin will ever replace
Though i know you're watching
I wish that i could see your face
♥.
Many times though i'm surrounded, i still feel so alone
That's when you send a sign to me that somehow makes me strong
It's only when you've been there that the words become so true
I'd give up everything i own for one last dance with you
♥.
I think about you each and every single day
I promise i won't let your memory fade away
How are you now?
Can you tell me somehow?
♥.
When i'm tired of all the lying
Have no one to hold on to
When the tears are falling
The sun seems to hide behind the moon
Open arms i'm calling
Nothin will ever replace
Though i know you're watching
I wish that i could see your face
♥.
Sometimes i find a corner and i break down and cry
I wish that i could see your face
♥.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH KERRIE-ANN, CAN'T PUT WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW INTO WORDS XxXxXxX

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we draw to the end of another year,
We think of the ones that we hold so dear,
We pause to give thanks for our friends so true,
And ask God to bless them, the old and new.
We hold up each loved one before His Throne
And ask Him to comfort the ones alone,
For those who have lost someone they hold dear,
We ask Him to strengthen and hold them near.
For those who have prospered, with new joys to savour,
We ask God continues to show them His favour.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
And those with new babies, or newly wed,
We ask Him to smooth out the path ahead,
For those who are ill and can barely stand,
We ask for the touch of His healing hand.
For those with new homes, with new jobs and new stress,
We ask Him to crown all their plans with success.
For those who have dreams and think, 'It's now or never,
We ask Him to bless all that they should endeavour.
For those who are facing an uphill climb,
We ask Him to carry them through this time.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we come to the start of a brand new year,
We pray for the ones that we hold so dear.
We ask that each one will be soundly blest,
To taste of His goodness and know His best,
For angels to watch o'er them day and night,
For miracles, blessings and sheer delight!
We ask for the gifts that the world can't buy,
A glimpse at the wonders of Heaven on high,
Contentment and joy till the Lord comes again,
This we ask for our friends, in His Name, Amen.

Xmas eve here again ...
Well huni, can't believe another christmas without you has come round. Can honestly say at the end of last year I didn't think I'd make it through this far, but I have and I'm actually quite proud of myself. Hope you're proud of me too.
I'm going to keep this short babes but wanted to say I am so so sorry I haven't been able to come down and see you, but as you know I've been really ill sweetie, haven't even been able to stand up on my own so it's just been impossible to get there, think the tablets are finally starting to work today as feeling a tiny tiny bit better but still a long way to go huni, but I promise you I will be down with your xmas gifts as soon as I possibly can. I haven't forgotten about you princess so please don't forget that.
Bet you've been enjoying the snow haven't you hun, we always used to have fun when it snowed, you always managed to get me when I least expected it didn't you you little bugger, always swore I'd get you back one day, guess that'll never happen now though.
Sorry babes but I'm all out of energy again, taken so much for me to even write this little bit, so weak, so I will save your proper message til I come down and visit you next week hopefully. Words cannot describe how much I miss you how much I wish you was here this christmas, it isn't get any easier at all but I just dont even have the strength to explain it at the minute. Just make sure you stay extra extra close to mumi p and craig and steph and reece tomorrow won't you, you know how much they need you.
love you so so much kerrie
sweet dreams gorgeous
xXxXxXx
Oh Kerrie ...
Haven't written to you properly in a long time I know huni but I don't need to cos you know how I'm thinking and feeling anyway don't you. Having a bad day huni and have tried to keep myself busy with packing for home etc but had to stop cos soooo tired and I stupidly just looked through lots of old pictures of you, you'd cringe at lots of them hehe but I might upload some onto here, just not ones with me in lol. I wish we could go back to those times Kerrie, so many giggles and laughs and even cry's but I wouldn't even change those for the world. I wish I'd been less camera shy now, then I would have had lots more photos of us together, tried to merge some but I' m not very good with computers so I don't know how :( Oh huni Christmas is getting closer and I just want to pull the covers over me and wake up at the end of January, it hurts so much knowing your family are having another christmas without you, it's not fair Kezzie, it's just not fair :( Why did they have to take you? Why couldn't it have been me? Oh dear crying even more now. Have managed to hold it together for so so long and just can't anymore babes, I'm sorry. Looked in a few florists today but I don't have any money huni and I don't know how I'm going to afford to bring you something nice for christmas, and that thought is killing me, bills have just been so huge recently and everythings got on top of me. I'll sort it out somehow though, will go without food if need be. I'm going to have to go sweetie can't keep writing like this, I will try to write positively tomorrow but right now I just wish I could go to sleep and never wake up :'(

Christmas With the King
To my dearest family that I left behind,
I need to touch your heart tonight.
For it's Christmas and you're missing me,
And the season doesn't seem so bright.
While others are celebrating the holiday,
you find it hard to do the same.
You watch other families gather in splendor,
while you tearfully mention my name.
I know it was painful for you this year,
to decorate your Christmas tree.
For you cried as you hung each ornament.
Your thoughts were focused on me.
You shopped for presents for others.
Although you felt out of place.
When each day was over,
I could see loneliness written on your face.
You can't seem to get into the spirit.
To enjoy any festivities this year.
But think of the Christmases in the past,
and you'll feel my presence near.
Yes, and I come tonight to let you know
I'm happier than I could ever be.
I'm spending my Christmas in Heaven;
With the one who died for me.
So go out and feel that Christmas cheer.
Listen to the choirs as they sing.
And know that I'm happier than I've ever been...
Spending Christmas with the King.
Written by Kaye Des'Ormeaux

~Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.
