(Lee's mum)</b></I></div> <div> <B>Written July 1985</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Special thanks to the people of Karamea, West Coast, South Island, New Zealand for their love and support.</b></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>At 5pm on Saturday, 23 February, two very dear friends came to my home bringing my husband with them as he had been visiting them, to tell me the accident I had heard about not half an hour before was the death of my son, Lee.  He had been struck by the flying limb of a falling tree as he watched the burnoff at his girlfriend's parent's farm.  He had left home only two hours before so full of life and oh so happy!  Life all around at that moment never felt so perfect.</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>And now they were telling me our Lee was dead - Oh no! - God could not do this to us!  Lee was ours and God could not have him!  I tried to stop everyone from telling me as there was no way I could let this happen.  I defied God!  How dare he do this to me, Lee is mine!</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Then came the bargaining.  Oh what I wouldn't do if God would just give Lee back to me!  "Please don't let this happen, I'll give anything, do anything".</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Then the anger - an anger like I have never known and never realised I was capable of.  I was so very angry!</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Finally came the tears - the realisation - and dread of the days ahead.</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>I think the next worse thing was seeing the pain and grief in our other boys eyes, at this time I could do nothing `to make it better'.  All their lives I had lived to make them happy and if they weren't you could always make it better - but not this time.  I felt so powerless, even my love for them and their dad wasn't enough.</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>For days I wondered in a daze, never really aware of what was happening around me, so many emotions, feelings of anger and despair until one day I heard myself thanking God for having given us Lee if only for a short 15 years, for he taught me so much.  Lee taught me how to be tolerant, understanding, patient, and most of all love and friendship.  I could only give thanks as I would sooner have known Lee and lost him than never have known him at all.  </b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Twenty weeks have passed and each day feelings and emotions have been different, some days I feel so much at peace, but within the hour I can become so angry and griefstricken, I begin to wonder if I will ever become right and think rationally about life again.  Because we live in a small community there is so much support from moral support to food, drink, doing housework, washing, ironing, preparing meals.  It is endless what people have come forward to do, people that we don't even know.  It is overwhelming when you stop and realise what people have done and after five months the support still goes on.  We will never be able to repay or express our gratitude if we live here for the rest of our lives.  We will always remember this very close and caring community.  </b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Although the perfection of our lives has been shattered we owe it to Lee to live our lives to the fullest and continue to build on the love he has left us with.  Lee's passing has made us realise how the material things of life are so unimportant and how precious our children's lives really are. I pray every day that he knows how much we love him and how he will always live in our hearts until we meet again.</b></I></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Saturday 27 May, 2002</b></div> <div> <B>So life goes on and today our 5 year old grandson, Nathan</b></div> <div> <B>scored his first try at rugby and was awarded "Player of the </b></div> <div> <B>Day".  You would be so proud of him Lee, he knows all about </b></div> <div> <B>his Uncle Lee and asks about him often, so he too loves you</b></div> <div> <B>as we do".   LOVE - MUM AND DAD.</b></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>To those of you who have experienced the loss of a </b></I></div> <div> <I><B>child and feeling the hopelessness and trauma of it </b></I></div> <div> <I><B>all please feel free to contact me through my email</b></I></div> <div> <I><B>at honeybell99@hotmail.com or add me to your msn list.</b></I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B><IMG SRC="0c3c88f0.gif" border=0 width="200" height="143" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>PLEASE SIGN MY GUESTBOOK</b></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>  <a href="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/specs/guest.html" target="_top"><img border="0" ismap src="http://htmlgear.lycos.com/img/guest/gb_burgundy.gif"></a><br> <a href="http://guestworld.tripod.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=val_memoriesoflee&i=3&a=view" target="_top"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">View My Guestbook</font></a><br> <a href="http://guestworld.tripod.lycos.com/guest/control.guest?u=val_memoriesoflee&i=3&a=sign" target="_top"><font face="arial,helv,helvetica,sans serif" size="-1">Sign My Guestbook</font></a><br>   </b></I></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Lee aged approx 18mths"><U><I><B>Lee aged approx 18mths</b></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="https://members.tripod.com/angelnz8007/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://members.tripod.com/angelnz8007/"><U><I><B>https://members.tripod.com/angelnz8007/</b></I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
