Ross Miller was born on 1st November 1991, a much wanted and eagerly awaited first child. He was so
loving and so loved throughout his short life. He died aged 11, three days before his 12th birthday,
at Edinburgh Sick Childrens Hospital with his mum, dad and younger brother Andrew by his side.
Ross wanted to be an actor when he grew up and was a member of the local Youth Theatre Group. He
wanted to be James Bond who he loved.
Ross was a normal, healthy, sporty, young boy when he suddenly contracted a virus on Easter Sunday,
31st March 2002, aged 10, which caused 'acute disseminated encephalomyelitis' that affected his
brain. He was in a coma for 6 weeks and on a life support machine for 15 weeks in Intensive Care at
Edinburgh Sick Childrens Hospital. He never fully recovered and was left very badly brain damaged
and unable to talk, walk, cough or swallow (tracheotomy fitted), eat (gastrostomy fitted) or
communicate and had no quality of life anymore. His mum lived with him in Hospital for 13 months
before we were allowed to care for him at home in April 2003. He took pneumonia at the beginning of
October 2003 and took septicaemia as a result and went to be with God on 29th October 2003.
Our lives were so happy and content when Ross was alive and now we are left utterly and helplessly
devastated. The pain is unbearable and we will never be truly happy again without him. He was such a
loving wee boy with a heart of gold and a smile that lit up a room. He loved fun, riding his bike,
tae-kwon-do, swimming, computer games, gadgets, playing with his friends and especially his brother
who adored him. We were such a close tight knit family and are all heartbroken now but find comfort
that he is now back to his normal self up in Heaven having a great time with his papa Jardine who
loved him so much. Ross's papa (my dad) died of cancer on 4th May 2002, 4 weeks after Ross took ill
and I believe that my dad went first to be there for Ross when he died and I know he is looking
after him for us. My dad lived for his many grandchildren and was devastated by Ross's illness.
For 19 months Ross had to suffer such illness and pain and it broke our hearts to watch him endure
it all, unable to cure him. We could only love and care for him. He was such a brave wee fighter and
fought till the end, till he could fight no more. He had such a sensitive heart and hated to see
anyone unhappy or ill which makes it all the harder to accept what he had to suffer.
We are so proud to have had Ross as a son and brother and love and miss him so much.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you'd cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me.
(Evanescence - Immortal Beloved)
Goodnight our 'Precious Angel - more precious than gold or silver'.

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.
Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November
FOR MONDAY
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
The Watcher
They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.
Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
FOR SATURDAY
As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
FOR SUNDAY
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

I had a dream last night..
Like the night before
That a beautiful angel came..
And knocked at my door
I opened the door..
With much delight
There was my angel
Glowing so bright
I could not believe it..
I had to wipe my eyes
For my angel had flown..
Down from the sky
I held my angel so very tight
In my dream I had last night
Was it a dream?
Or was I awake?
I hope it was real..
For mine and my angels sake.

TRIBUTE FOR 19-11-09
♥*•♥ One Gift♥*•♥
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 20-11-09
The pain we feel inside today
Is the pain we try to hide,
For no one will ever know
The tears i cry inside.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
It seems like only yesterday
The wound is still so sore.
For every hour of every day
We miss you more and more
For you are someone special
And think the world of you.
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 21-11-09
Missing You
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
TRIBUTE FOR 22-11-09
♥•*♥*•♥^♥• *♥*•♥
You gave us love
And lots more,
We have so much
To thank you for,
Silent thoughts,
Memories deep,
Locked in our hearts
For ever to keep.

I wish you all a very peaceful weekend my friend
With love as always Linda.xxx

♥ Angel Dust ♥
♥ Life can be dark and often hard
with trials and heartbreak sorry and pain
But through those sad times
a ray of sun shines through
Sprinkled with stardust
to brighten life again.♥
♥ Life can be dark and often hard
with trials and heartbreak sorry and pain
But through those sad times
a ray of sun shines through
Sprinkled with stardust
to brighten life again. ♥
♥ When an angel smiles in heaven
a heart is healed on earth
a gentle sprinkle of angel dust
lets you know how much you're worth
It lights the darkest moments
heals the coldest heart
When an angel smiles in heaven
it will touch your coldest part. ♥
♥ So sprinkle me with angel dust
watch me as I glow
I have been touched by an angel
The most wonderful feeling I know. ♥

Until We Meet Again by Alan G
People try to help me,
Everyone is so kind,
But no matter what they say to me,
I always seem to find,
They look at me with sympathy,
In a caring sort of way,
I thank them and attempt to smile,
As I walk away,
The tears start welling up again,
Every time it’s the same,
I simply fall to pieces,
At the mention of your name.
I know that your in heaven now,
And my heart is filled with pain,
But the angels will take care of you,
Until we meet again

I NEVER SAW YOUR WINGS
How is it that I never saw your wings
when you were here with me?
When you closed your eyes and soared
to the Heavens I could hear the
faint flutter of you wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side
your spirit here eternally I see your halo shine.
I close my eyes and see the multicolored wings
surround me in my saddest moments and my happiest times.
Son my angel God has given you your assignment
always my Son forever my angel.
You fly into my dreams and when I am asleep
I feel your wings brush against my face wiping away
the tears I shed since I can no longer hold
you in my arms but in my heart.
You earned those wings dear Son
and you will always be me angel eternal.

The Precious Child I Knew
♥~~~~~♥~~~~~♥~~~~~♥~~~~~♥
A child is such a wondrous gift
And I thank the Lord for you
For knowing such a special child
For the love and joy we knew
Although you’re 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

Ross
When you were in this place Ross
you were a very special little boy
with a very special family
whose love was very strong
Now you are in a better place Ross
you have no pain and no more struggles
You are thought of very often
and you must have had a very special job to do
You send strength to your mum dad and Andrew
that keeps them going on
the tears will flow forever Ross
but you tell them that life must go on.
I never look at a rainbow Ross
without a thought of you
and Olivia will grow up knowing
that she new a special boy too.
With love
Eleanor
