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
♥Happy Birthday Angel♥

To My Darling Angel
I'm missing you so much Kerrie. Hurting so much.
Coming to bring your flowers down today was so hard, I broke Kerrie and there was all those people around and they probably thought I was a right idiot. The pain of not having you here just took over. I just want to leave this world Kezzie, I can't take this hurt, I'm not strong enough. Trying so hard to be happy for you but I can't. I just want you back. I just don't understand why you had to go.
I'd better go because I'm getting really upset angel.
Will write again soon
I love you
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kerrie-Ann

`•. Dear Angel........
Watched the film Kez, we didn't watch THAT version did we! I thought the special ed would have funny bits at the end, not a full on sex scene haha, bet you were giggling with us weren't you sweetie. Think it was the shock of none of us knowing that that scene existed in it lol. Was nice to have a night with the girlies though, even if I am a little bit upset now as all the memories of watching it with you came flooding back. Really felt like you were here tonight, I can't explain it, it just did. Trying really hard to stay strong Kez I promise. Text mumi p tonight, I hope she's ok, I asked but she didn't say. Said your room is completely finished now and that I'll have to pop round soon to see it finished. Hope you like it, bet its gorgeous now all you're stuffs back in it. Hope you're looking after them all in the snow at home, I don't even know if we've got any here, will wait til the morning and then it'll be a surprise! Just wish I could text you or ring you when i wake up (well i don't really sleep that much anymore but I mean like I used to) all excited like i used to do when we could have our snow days off school.
Well I'm going to go cos you know if I write too much I get all upset.
Thinking of you always babes

I love you

Missing you so very much angel. As Christmas is drawing closer it's getting harder and harder to keep telling people that I don't know what I want cos they need to get their shopping done, but there's nothing I want other than to have you back here with us all Kerrie. (Well apart from some new boots! Bet you was laughing at me when I discovered they leak yday weren't you, my feet were actually swimming in them!Did you have anything to do with it suddenly flooding like that missy? Bet you did didn't you!) I know you won't want me to get upset all day like I did last year, but I don't think I am going to be able to help it though Kezzie, I just miss you so much. When I went and did my Xmas shopping it just didn't seem right not having you to buy for, well I'll bring you flowers but I can't wrap them up, can't watch you excitedly opening them :( I thought about getting you something and asking your mummy if she would mind putting it in your room, but as I've never found the courage to send the letter I wrote her I'm just too scared that she won't remember me. Oh dear, this isn't getting easier Kerrie, think it's actually getting harder and harder every day. Missing you more and more. Thinking I might stay at home New Years Eve too, don't want to go out and get drunk and get myself into the state I did last year, poor Anna and Emily trying to stop my hysterical crying as we saw in the new year. I just didn't want to begin a new year without you. I know you're close by, but at times like that it feels like you are so far away and I feel so lonely and it just kills me. So might just snuggle down in bed and see it in on my own where I can't ruin anyone elses night again, thats for the best don't you think? But then I know you'd want me to have fun. Oh Kerrie I don't know what to do. What do you think? Please help me work all this out.
Well I had better go because I'm getting all upset. I love you so much sweetie, life just isn't the same, just so lonely without you, so difficult to keep going without your encouragement, telling me I can do anything I put my mind to.
Why did you have to go Kerrie?
Why?
I LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You
Love you angel
Kezzieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I will try to keep this short today but just wanted to tell you that you're a little bugger telling me to buy all those things yesterday and today, I spent soooooo much! But I think this week I deserve a treat, made some big steps haven't I, hope it's what you want. Bet anyone who could hear me in the changing room thought I was crazy saying what do you think to this one Kezza when I was in there on my own, but I could hear what you were saying and couldn't resist buying the dresses! But three Kez, that's a bit extreme lol. And the tights and cardigans and jewellery. Oh dear! I love it all though, thankyou for helping me choose. I didn't ask your opinion on the boots today as I had Katie with me to help, I need someone cos I'm useless at buying stuff without someone to tell me what they think.
Do you think I did the right thing by sending your mummy that message on facebook? I hope she reads it because it's the only way I've ever found the courage to talk to her, clicking send was so hard. You have such a special family Kez, hope you are still with them everyday.
Well I'm missing you lots, had a really bad night last night, couldn't sleep at all cos was thinking about you soooo much, so I've just given up on work for tonight now, my hands got really sore from holding the pen for too long, so thought I would write to you and then get to bed and try and sleep and get up early in the morning to start another days note making. Not always easy to sleep though. Please can you help me not have anymore horrible dreams?
Well like I said I wanted to keep this short tonight so I shall get off here now. Remember I love you lots and lots though. Please please save a place for me near you cos one day I want to have the good times with you that I'm now missing out on. It hurts so much to know that it's going to be a while before I can see my special friend again, but I'm trying to be strong Kerrie, I hope you can see that.
All my love to you beautiful.
Forever in my thoughts and embedded in my heart.
xXxXxXxXx
Sent with Love
We think about you constantly
All through the day and night
Our minds are playing tricks on us
And nothing seems quite right,
♥
Your memories are hurting us.
Our hearts are full of pride.
As we try to carry on each day
With the tears we try to hide,
♥
We will not forget you
And to have a dream come true,
Would be to have you in our home again,
And to tell you 'We love you'.
♥

★ Favourite Star of Mine. ★
Far above in that sky,
Is a small star of mine,
Star where life exists,
That star shines brighter then light.
★
It is the star of fascination for me,
It is the star of my fantasy,
It is the star of my dreams,
It is the star that belongs to me.
★
A star that is all alone,
A star that is full of love,
A star where I have to reach,
A star of my dreams.
★
It is the star that lies beyond the sun,
It is the star of ultimate truth,
It is star of love and peace,
It is star where my soul lives.
★
It is the one to call me,
It is the one to attract me,
It is the one I’ll love to see,
It is the one I have to reach.
★
LOVE JUDE. X X
