A very beautiful, brave young man

[its hilly]

Kirsty, I read your blog a little while back. All I can say is that a life as brave and as treasured as Bradleys leaves a glow in those around it that will never go out. As long as you use that glow to lead you on in life then Bradley will always be with you.
Blessings upon you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I don't know what else to say

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.

thinking of you today. (((((((( big hugs ))))))

The human spirit is an amazing thing and your Beautiful Nephew had this in abundance, this I could see when reading his Blog, a strong spirit and a good heart is a very precious gift and not something everyone is capable of possessing, you were very fortunate to have had this young man touch your lives, I can see Bradly will leave a hole that no amount of words will ever fill.
But I share this poem with you.

You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
or you can be grateful for the love you all shared.

You can remember him and only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close you mind, be sad, empty and turn your back
or you can do what he would want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

( David Harkin, 1981...for his son)

My Love and Deepest Sympathy is with you all. XXX

Kirsty so sorry for your loss, to loose a child is one of the hardest things to come to terms with, your sister and brother in law must be overcome with grief as will the rest of the family, take comfort in the knowledge that he is in pain no more. The best thing to do after loosing a loved one is to talk about them as much as you can. When we get together as a family we always toast the ones we have lost especially on birthdays and anniversaries. My sisters photo takes pride of place by the table ( its always in the window ).
The next few days, weeks will seem unatural, you have all spent time with him and now what to do with that time? Prehaps look at photo's visit his favourite place, whatever you do he will ALWAY'S be with you all.
Love and hugs to you and your family.

Thank you everyone. All of us are having a quiet weekend with our families.

The time spent in the room with him after he had passed, when we were all sitting talking to each other and him, taking turns to give him a cuddle, felt to us like the most natural thing in the world to do. It was almost like a bit of a party.
We are all now running about trying to find pretty colourful dresses and rugby shirts cos his lordship had told us all beforehand what he wanted people to wear at his funeral. No black was his orders!! The vicar is surprisingly ok with him being carried into the church to the strains of Iron Man by Black Sabbath too......

All I can really say is that my sincere thoughts are with you all. I read some of your blog and he sounds like an amazing brave soul.

I hadn't seen the blog before, but have just now read some of it - what a beautiful account of a sad and yet special time for your family.

My thoughts are with you all.
