What can we say? Our lives have been turned upside down, God has switched off the light marked joy
and laughing feels wrong never mind planning anything into the future. However, Calvin was a joy to
know and love and we are so proud to be his mum, sisters and step-dad. He was true to himself as
his mum taught him and touched the hearts of so many in his short life.
Calvin died from injuries sustained after he was hit by a van at 11.30 a.m on 6 July 2008, when
crossing a very busy junction at Lane Ends, Ashton,Preston. As his mother , I cannot describe the
feelings that day or indeed since. On the day of the accident, I heard all the sirens but, as I
didn't know Calvin was missing because he was at his Dad's house, I thought nothing of it. We were
about to have our lunch when the police turned up on the doorstep. I went alone to the hospital with
a police officer as my fiance had to sort out someone to look after our baby, Sasha, and I waited
for Calvin's Dad to be brought in.
Calvin had been alone for almost 3 hours and I never knew-that will always haunt me. We were then
told he had suffered non-survivable injuries and there was no hope-40 minutes before I was about to
have lunch now my world had been blown apart. His sister, Tamsin was collected from a Birthday party
and brought to the hospital to say goodbye to her Big Bro.
We agreed to donate Cal's heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas (his lungs were too badly damaged) and
Jon and I stayed with him until he went to theatre at 4.30 a.m.
Life will never be the same again and we will never be the people we were before. The loss of
Calvin-my cheeky, loving, clever, affectionate wee man-is a heavy burden but I will ensure he is
never forgotten and carry him in my heart until we are together again. Love you Calvin.
Mummy,Tammy and Sasha.

Calvin's poem
Cal wrote this poem about himself in 2007 when he was 10.
Figitable
I am very figitable
A rather foolish mad man
I drive my teacher up the wall
And be good she says
You know you can.
I know I can be silly
But that's when I'm with Billy
I can be good when I'm at home
But that's when I'm alone.
But I am just myself
Like know one else.
By Calvin Leary
BROKEN MOTHERS.......
HOW CAN A BROKEN MOTHER EXPLAIN JUST HOW SHE FEELS INSIDE
IT JUST LIKE PART OF HERSELF HAS ALSO DIED
SOME HOW WE KNOW WE MUST JUST CARRY ON
EVEN THOUGH HER CHILD HAS GONE
OTHERS SAY THAT OUR CHILD IS IN A BETTER PLACE
IF THEY SAY THOSE WORDS TO ME THEY ARE A DISGRACE
FOR THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE THAN WITH A MOTHER BY THIER SIDE
YES WE WILL ALWAYS CRY OUR TEARS THOSE WE CANNOT HIDE
WE WILL ALWAYS STILL BE A MOTHER WHEREVER OUR CHILD MAYBE
I THINK MAYBE OUR CHILD MADE US WHO WE ARE REALLY MEANT TO BE
WE MAYBE BROKEN AND SHATTED INSIDE
OUR TEARS WILL STILL FLOW WHY SHOULD WE HIDE
WE STAND TOGETHER BROKEN MOTHERS ALWAYS STAY STRONG
BECAUSE WE KNOW DEEP INSIDE THAT OUR CHILDS SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON
WHEREVER WE GO AND WHATEVER WE DO
OUR CHILDREN WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF OF US TOO.......

The Precious Child I Knew
♥~~~~~♥~~~~~♥~~~~~♥~~~~~♥
A child is such a wonderous gift
And I thank the Lord for you
For knowing such a special child
For the love and joy we knew
Although your'e no longer with me
Precious memories live on in my heart
And in my mind it is clear
That one day we won't be apart
I know we'll be together again
When my time on earth is through
Until then I'll hold a memory close
Of the precious child I knew

It's Sunday again and the days pass so fast,
But my love for you will always last.
The days go by in such a blur,
Oh I wish that you were here.

Days turn into months..
Months turn into years..
I still love you with all my heart..
And only wish we never had to part.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
It's Sunday again and there is not a sound,
Theres not even many people walking around.
For Sunday you see is a day of rest..
You should know my angel..
Because you are the best.
︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽ ︽♥︽ ︽☆︽
So my darling angel I just want to say...

And remember it's not just on a Sunday I love and miss you..
I love and miss you every day of the week too.

You may not be able to see me,
Though you think that I am gone.
Inside your heart you carry me,
So I live on, I live on.
I know you feel an emptiness,
Of words we left unsaid.
Release your pain, forgive yourself,
For I already did.
The love you gave, I took with me,
And left my love for you.
So now I know some time has passed,
Here is what I ask of you.
Share my life and remember me,
To those you love – out loud.
And I will become part of them,
For that would make me proud.
Those little quirks, the quips I said,
Please share those memories.
For there is no plaque or stone,
That would better honor me.
I loved you then, and love you still,
And will forevermore.
So take my love and pass it down,
That’s what my legacy is for.
Give my memories, my love as gifts,
And do not mourn that I have gone.
Just place my love in your Heart always
And you will know that I live on.
ALL MY LOVE GLORIA ANTHONY'S MOM XOXO

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

../___\..OUR ANGELS ARE WATCHING OVER EVERY THING WE DO
THEY ARE SENDING LOVE FROM HEAVEN JUST FOR ME AND YOU
OUR ANGELS SEND US KISSES WE FEEL THEM IN THE BREEZE EACH DAY
ONLY HALF OF US DO NOT NOTICE SO WE BRUSH THAT KISS AWAY
(\ ●♥● /)

../___\..OUR ANGELS KNOW WHEN WE ARE CRYING THEY HELP TO WIPE OUR TEARS AWAY
OUR ANGELS ARE CLOSER THAN WE THINK THEY ARE BY OUR SIDE EACH DAY
NEVER THINK YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN THAT REALLY IS NOT TRUE
EVERY WHERE THAT YOU WILL BE OUR ANGELS ARE WALKING BESIDE YOU.....

MY MEMORIES OF YOU...
My memories of you will last forever
I remember all the good times..
That we shared together
I think of you with beauty and grace
And I know that you are safe..
In a better place
I did not want to say goodbye
For now I'm so alone
And I sit here and cry
My memories of you I promise to keep
I shall try and be strong
And try not to weep
I know you are all around me..
Night and day
And in my heart you will always stay
My memories of you I shall treasure
I will hold them close to my broken heart
I still love you now
Like I did from the start
My memories of you smother me with love
For you are my precious angel
In heaven above
