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

FROM HEAVEN
I SEE TEARS FALL DOWN YOUR FACE
WHEN YOUR THOUGHT TURN TO ME
JUST KNOW THAT IM IN HEAVEN,
WITH MY LORD, WHOS SET ME FREE..
NO PAIN OR SADNESS DO I FEEL
FOR GOD IS BY MY SIDE.
THE BEAUTY HERE IN HEAVEN
IS NOW WHERE I RESIDE...
I KNOW ITS HARD FOR YOU TO COPE
FOR YOU CANT FEEL MY TOUCH
BUT FOR EVERY MOMENT,I CAN SEE
AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH...
WHEN YOUR AT YOUR LOWEST
AND FEEL YOU CANT GO ON,
LOOK TOWARDS THE HEAVENS
THE LIGHT WILL BE TURNED ON...
TALK TO ME, JUST LIKE YOU DID
ON EARTH,WHEN I WAS THERE,
YOU SEE,IM NOT SO FAR AWAY
ONLY AS FAR AS A PRAYER...
AND WHEN ITS TIME FOR YOU TO JOIN
ME UP IN HEAVEN ABOVE...
ITS THEN THAT YOU REALISE,
ITS THE GOLDEN PLACE OF LOVE...
FOR HERE THERE IS NO SADNESS
JUST EVERLASTING LIGHT...
SOMEDAY WE WILL BE JOINED AGAIN
WHEN ITS TIME TO TAKE YOUR FLIGHT...
Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet
Some are really brilliant
Full of light sharp and clear
While others are more subdued
To both you can adhere
You are a flower in my garden
That makes up my bouquet
My friends you all make
A very impressive display.
love as always Alison xxxxxxxxxxx

I need to tell you something,
That I hope will help you see...
I'm not sad in heaven,
Because God is here with me.
***************************
It was on the day I left you,
That I saw the tears you cried,
But please don't worry about me,
God keeps me by His side.
***************************
I'll save a place here for you,
In heaven next to me...
Where we can be together,
The way you wanted us to be.
***************************
For now, please know I love you,
And dry those tears you cry...
I'll wait for you in heaven,
Where we will never say goodbye.
love as always Alison xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love you
Hi Aaron, it's my third birthday without you tomorrow and I still expect to see you with a bunch of carnations, a big card and your big goofy grin. You were never too old for a hug were you ? Not like Jack, he hates any form of that soppy stuff.
I'm going for a meal with Jack, mama, grandpa, Bernadette,Cabbage and Laura. Lovely Italian place opened in Hucknall, you'd have loved it with all that pasta and pizza.
I'll be thinking about you all day sweetheart and will be out on Saturday to see you and bring fresh red roses for your vases.
Loving and missing you as always Aaron

2009
New Years Eve is such a painful night for me and my sisters Aaron as you know but even more so now that you are not here with us.
Just me and Jack tonight, as you know this year has been a horrible one again. I don't expect 2009 to be a complete turn around but surely me and Jack especially deserve a break at some point.
Look down on your brother Aaron and look after him. He's a great lad but needs some help from his big brother.
I'll be thinking of you more tonight as always and loving and missing you as much now as the day you died.
So much love Aaron
