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 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.

If We Look Hard Enough
The stars in the heavens way up high
Lighting up the midnight sky
Twinkling on till the break of dawn
When the sun rises in the early morn
If we look hard enough there is always light
To guide our way and give us sight
To see some future, as well as the past
And ease our heartache a little at last..

Hugs From Heaven
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
