My son Aaron was attacked on 3rd August 2006 and died on 7th August 2006. We were not able to bury
him until 22nd September 2006 because of this and so could not say a last goodbye in the chapel of
rest. Every time I go to his grave I cannot accept he has gone. My first born son. Big and
beautiful. Why do these people do this ?
Aaron was mad about music, his friends recorded a tribute to him which was played at his funeral. I
put a copy of it in the coffin with him as well so he will always have his friends with him and have
music with him. This song is also the second one you hear on this site. Please take the time to
listen to it if you can. It means so much to us.
I will never be able to say goodbye to Aaron. To me he will always be here. I miss his voice and
his laugh so much.
His younger brother Jack is lost without him, we all are. Everybody that knew Aaron loved him.
His grandad (my dad) died on 31st July 2006, four days before Aaron was attacked. Aaron was with
me and my two sisters through it all. He was out having a drink for his grandad after work the
night he was attacked. He loved his grandad so much, spending time at the hospice with him, feeding
and washing him. Even taking him to the toilet. How many 18 year olds would do that ?
Not a day goes by that I don't cry for him and ask WHY ???
The person responsible for Aaron's death pleaded guilty to Manslaughter on 22nd December 2006 and
was sentenced to a pitiful 3.5 years. What an insult to Aaron's life. The judge said it didn't
reflect his value as every young life is priceless but this was the maximum he could sentence him
to. He'll be out in 21 months from that date and carry on with his life. He even had the nerve to
appeal against the length of this sentence, claiming it was too long !!. He lost, but put us through
another ordeal. He is now out of prison as of April this year and getting on with his life, whilst
our lives are all frozen without Aaron.
We can never carry on with our lives thanks to him and his type. His record was read out in court
and started when he was 12. How dare a person like that take my son's life ? Aaron was no angel,
we had our usual teenage problems but he was a decent, thoughtful, funny and lovely lad. All his
friends parents loved him.
At his funeral, there was standing room only, teachers from his old school came, and friends of
every race, colour and sex. I was so proud of him for that.
The laws on Manslaughter need to be tightened up as they have been for murder to prevent this
travesty of justice being done to another grieving family.
We love and miss him every day, in every way, that is our sentence.
The world is a poorer place without you Aaron. Love always squiff xxxx

We had to say goodbye xx
Three years ago today we buried you babe with hundreds of your friends, family and friends parents as well as some of your old teachers there to show how much they loved and miss you. I was so proud of you that day when I saw so many people there just for you of every race, creed, colour. My very special boy xxx
It's still the same today for all of us Aaron. Look after your dad today, it's a big day for him in other ways as well as you know.
Take care of yourself for me babe until I can do it again.
Love always
Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The Lord he needed a flower,
and the flower he chose was you,
So he picked you up from down here
and up and up you flew.

Happy Birthday Aaron
Happy birthday Aaron, I would give anything to hand you a card and a present today and see you smile and say "thanks cabbage".
Unfortunately, I can't and I just hope you have a great time up there.
Im with your mum now and we are going to take you
some lovely flowers.
Time really doesnt heal the pain of losing you,but memories never fade.
Give dad a big hug from me and tell him i miss him
so much.
love you always Aaron.
Cabbage xxxx
Love to you on your birthday son
Happy birthday Aaron. What would you have been like at 22 ? My only wish for you as you were growing up and finding the kind of person you were and the things you wanted from life was that you were going to be safe and happy. That is still my wish now babe.
I can't give you presents or cook you a nice meal or treat you now since you were so cruelly and needlessly taken away from us. All I can give you now are flowers for your grave and to tend that grave and keep it fresh and nice for you.
You will always have my love though Aaron. My memories of you and your lovely smile are all that keep me going. Your beautiful eyes lit up when you smiled and the sound of your laugh is imprinted in my mind.
See you in a bit babe and then I'll bring Jack to see you later when he's finished school.
I love and miss you always Aaron, but on your birthday it's especially hard.
See you soon Squiff. Be safe and be happy.
Love always Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
Wish them well Aaron
Good morning son, today is your auntie's wedding and if you had been here, you would have been the person giving her away as the man of the family. It hurts so much that you're not here to take your grandads place at her side as she goes into her new future. You would have had a lovely smile on your face and done it with such charm that I would have burst with pride.
Jack's doing it in your absence babe and I am also so proud of him, taking that responsibility on at 14 and I will also burst with pride when he walks down with her.
She is so happy Aaron, look down on them both and give them your blessing, you would have loved the man she is marrying as he has put a smile back on her face.
There will be lots of smiles and laughter today I'm sure but there will still be empty places where you and dad should have been, especially with your birthday on Wednesday so prominent in my mind. Your birthday I find such a harder day to deal with than the day you died.
I'll see you tomorrow babe and then of course on Wednesday and still love and miss you as much now as the day I held you as you drew your last breath.
Take care Squiff, be safe and be happy.
Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's a peace I'm sure
And I know
There'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Eric Clapton
LOVE AS ALWAYS ALISON ♥
