Kane’s Story
Kane was born in Consett on the 05/06/90. He entered this world weighing 4lb 6oz. He was a
beautiful baby & was loved by all. When he was growing up he was always thin, this used to worry me
but it was just the way he was.
Kane is the third son of Christina.
Kane has two older brothers Joel and Nick; he also has a younger brother Matthew and a little sister
Lynnette.
Kane did not have an easy life. He worried about his little brother as he has a severe heart
condition. He worried about anyone when they were ill or sad.
He had to work hard at things and was bullied when he was young.
Kane cared for people; he would make things for them & spend his money on others. He would buy
things for no reason other than to give or make some-one happy.
Kane loved Japanese cartoon art and was always drawing or painting. He was great at drawing
pictures of people. He loved to create things and would make things out of wood or anything else he
could find.
He would try to do anything I asked him whether it was fixing a light or plumbing a shower.
Although not everything he "fixed" worked again. He once spent hours fixing the kitchen heater & it
has never worked since. Another time he replaced all the door handles for me and one is at 45
degrees. He would always try though.
Kane could be very clumsy but it could be so funny. When he was young he was determined to climb
this tree and fell out of the same tree four times but he did it in the end. He once fell down the
stairs and got up and ran into the wall. I have many memories like this and cherish every one of
them.
Kane left this Earth on the 07/03/07. The day before his death he was upset about an email he had
from his ex girlfriend but we talked and he was fine. The day of his death he was going to see
about an apprenticeship he had applied for. He had no money left so I gave him a few pounds & my
last words to him were " I'm not that bad am I?", he smiled his cheeky smile & replied " I’ve got
my keys". He left the house at lunch time. I had to go out & passed him 2 minutes from his
destination, which was the last time I saw my baby alive. When I returned home I had a bad feeling
so I tried to phone him, there was no answer so I kept trying. After a while I went looking for him
and at 10pm I phoned the police.
Two officers came to the house and after a while told me they had found the body of a young lad at
the bottom of the Gill Bridge. I was devastated and still am. They would not let me see him until
2pm the next day. I had to identify his body, his brother Nick was with me. I went in to shock and
never questioned things so when they said he had jumped I did not ask why.
At his funeral some-one told me Kane did not jump or fall. I was in a state & did not take it in.
Later those words came back and I started to question things. And if I could find the name of the
person that told me.
I phoned the police and two CID officers came. I was asked if I was sure I heard right?
Kane was found at the bottom of a 180ft bridge, he had no broken bones, and he had two marks on his
forehead, a bruised nose, a black eye, two bust lips & a bruised right ear. I was told he was found
in a shopping trolley.
Kane was found at 5pm on a bright day and had been there a couple of hours.
How come no-one saw him?
There were a lot of people at Kane's funeral and I did not know them all. Kane had no reason to
jump, he was starting the apprenticeship and wanted to start his own business, he had updated his
bebo the night before and the things he wrote were not the things some-one that was suicidal would
write.
He was also trying to trace his dad and had talked about how much he wanted children when he was
older. Kane had a lot of love to give and was loved. I do not believe my son took his own life and
never will.
If you knew Kane and would like to add pictures or stories about him to his site please do so.
I would like to thank everyone for the candles & tributes left for Kane. They help us so much;
reading the kind messages left here helps me get through each day. I am still fighting for justice
for Kane and will never give up.
Thank you for your support Christina xxx

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

~MISSING YOU~

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.
When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.
Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.
Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.

Do Not Weep
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry
I am not there.

I see you in the evening
and the darkness of the night.
You're with me in the morning,
when all the world is bright.
I feel you in a breeze,
like a tender warm embrace;
I feel you when a snowflake
falls softly on my face.
I hear you when it thunders
and the world seems at an end;
I hear you whisper softly,
'One day your heart will mend'.
I hear you in a bird song
the humming of the bees.
Your voice is strong and vibrant
in the waves of stormy seas.
I see, I feel, I hear you,
you're there in all I do,
guiding and protecting,
until my life is through.

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.
♥;;♥ ♥;;♥♥;;♥ ♥;;♥;;♥;;♥ ♥;;♥;;♥;;♥
As the sun came up this morning
I watched you there below
Your hearts seemed oh, so heavy
But theres something you should know
I'm not gone don't worry
I'm just a step ahead
And i'm with you every single day
As you rise up from your bed
I am the sun that warms you
I am the moons soft glow
I am the stars that twinkle
And lights your path below
So when at times you miss me
Just look for me i'm there
For you cannot hide my spirit
It is with you everywhere...
Love Always Elaine xxxxxxx
I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s 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 it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t 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, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.
Love always elaine xxxxxxx
WORDS OF AN ANGEL
May the angels keep you till morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you til morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you.
Then may God be there that day.
**********************************
Angel of comfort
When each day brings only sadness
and your heart is filled with pain
You will find it hard to believe
that you'll ever smile again
But when your crying deep inside
an angel always hears
And will be there to comfort you
and wipe away your tears
There are wings of love around you
and you can depend upon
Your angel, who will give you hope
and the strength to carry on.

~~ The Hand Of God ~~
I felt the hand of god today
it touched my broken heart
it didn't mend it never will
but at least it was a start
He did his best to comfort me
and help me understand
the reason why he took you
into the promised land
The angels must have sung with joy
with arms outstretched with love
and welcome you into the home
they share with god in heaven above
His promise to the kind and good
is joy beyond compare
those things you were abundantly
and of joy you take your share
Try as we might it's hard to grasp
you are no longer here
for all we long for everyday
is to have and hold you near
Our days are filled with longing
to see your smiling face
to enjoy once more the happy times
and share a warm embrace
Instead we struggle on and on
the pain it will not go
with only memories to keep us sane
oh how we miss you so
It's hard to go on living
we are so tired and lonely
each day all we can think is
'why? and oh, if only'
But these are things we cannot change
as much as we might try
and so we go on thinking
'oh, if only and oh why?
Love Elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx
SENT WITH LOVE XXXXXXXX
God looked around his garden
which was a beautiful sight
he knew there would be others
who could come to him tonight
He tended to his garden daily
to make it a beautiful view
because he knew that others
would help him to tend it too
He prepared for new arrivals
morning, noon and even night
because he wanted heaven to be
a place that was just right
There was precious rosebuds
who didn't bloom on earth
and god had their presence
right from their very birth
There was mothers and fathers
who had gently gone to sleep
he wrapped himself around them
and in heaven he did safely keep
Also grandmothers and grandfathers
whom the angels did hold
keeping them so warm at night
if they should feel the cold
There was also aunts and uncles
maybe a nephew and a little niece
but you can rest assured
they are all very much at peace
If you have lost a dear loved one
their presence is still all around
you might not be able to hear them
but if you look they can be found
Fingerprints and lots of memories
pictures of them thats in your mind
and when you're really missing them
all these things that you can find
The handwriting thats on a card
and maybe a special autograph
and there again, within your mind
is cherished memories of their laugh
Maybe they also had a creative hand
and left behind for you so much
and when you're feeling sad and down
remember to treasure that touch
Go into your mind in times of sadness
and remember what they didn't take above
can you think of just one thing now.....?
well they didn't take with them their love
I know nothing really comforts us
when a cherished loved one has gone
never forget that in your heart and mind
they stay and will always linger on
Love Always ~~ Elaine (demi-leighs auntie, mary and jimmy hitchens daughter)x♥x
