Michael Peter Crayford (18 Aug 2003 - 29 Mar 2017)

Hi, well, it never fails to amazed me where I can find something that will trigger my tears.. doing out our old kitchen and found your calpol in the cupboard.. it was from kings, and had your name on it, next thing I know I am in tears, crying over a bloody bottle of medicine... a few minutes later there was a knock at the door, it was Anne-Maria, the lovely lady who bought you into this world. That cheered me up and she understood the reason behind the tears. I cherish my friends and the family who do not judge. Miss you so much. My dreams last night were hard. They were the ones where I have to remember you are gone, gone from my sight but never my heart.love you always. Mum x

Happy 21st birthday, I miss you always, I don't need a special day to miss you, but today has been really hard, I just cry lots more than a usual day, it's just all so unfair, I should have a house full of your friends and cake, huge cake for such a milestone, but all I have are memories that I cling onto like a life line, to hold you near. It's a age since I heard your voice. But in my dreams at night I can sometimes bring you back. If only in dreams in my sleep. Love and miss you every day 💗 always 13. Love mum. X

Happy heavenly 21st birthday Michael forever in our thoughts love from aunty Kay and uncle Colin xx❤

Just sitting here and missing you as ever, this grief journey doesn't get any better, and I will never get used to losing you. Your siblings got very drunk Friday, something you never experienced, but there are so many things you should have experienced. I find it so unfair still, and the jealousy I can sometimes feel, it's ridiculous, but it's a emotion I hide well, I think . If anyone ever asks how many children I have I always reply 4, 2 yiu can see and 2 you cannot. I love and miss you forever. Mum x

Miss you so much, yet another Christmas rolls round without you, its not getting any easier to cope with. I will always long for you, wonder what would have been. I was denied so much, as was you and thats not fair. I know I lost you when that evil demon took hold of you, but I still had hope. Now I hold memories dear. I love you always and forever ❤️ happy heavenly Christmas Michael. 🎄

Happy heavenly 20th birthday Michael, I love you so much and miss you every day. You will always be my 13 year old, ♥️ time will never change the love I have for you. I wish I could hold you, talk to you one more time. Love mum x

So, today I did out my room a little, put some of your clothes in charity bags. It doesn't get easier and anyone who says it does, is lucky not to have walked this road. I will be 50 soon, another birthday without you, its so wrong,in simple language, I miss you so much. I cry lately at the very thought of you. I will always love you, and really hope you know that. I am incomplete without you. I carry on of course, Alex and becca and dave don't deserve to go through more pain.
Love you forever. Mum x
