My son Barry.
Barry was born august 4th 1965 in Hartlepool, Co Durham...we moved to Waldron, East Sussex in 1968 then to Cross-Inn-Hand, were Barry started school...we then moved to Punnets Town where Barry and his sisters Jeanette,Sonia and Tanya went to Punnets Town school.we then moved to Heathfield were Barry carried on with his schooling ..not liking it very much but he exelled at maths... leaving in 1980. He went into the building trade but his real passion was Football.
He played for East Hoathly Boys then went on to play for Southampton Youth...He had trials for Queens Park Rangers And Brighton but he prefered Southampton youth were he stayed till he got involved with girls and Lager!!! so that put a stop to his football....he carried on playing Darts and was very good ...he played in the mens dart teams from 14 years of age..
he was a very shy boy but quite boisterous at times.getting himself into a few scrapes now and again.
His idol was Elvis Presley,...He had all of Elvis's music...and he even dyed his hair jet black which made me freak out for a while....
the night Barry died was devastating to us all. he had just got himself a Ford Escort and had only been driving a week.. he was racing his friend through maynards green down toward Horam.. there were road lights which his friend went through and Barry waited for the green light then tried catching his friend up but unfortunately as he went round the bend his car veered across the road and crashed into a tree.
The strange thing is . i was on my way home from working as a pyschiatric nurse, and came upon the crashed car , not realising that it was my sons car as the roof had been taken off, and i followed the ambulance up to the junction, When i got home with my partner i realised that Barry wasnt home and my instinct wanted me to go back to Horam, where i found out that it was my son in the ambulance... we raced down to the hospital ..but knowing in my heart that it was too late.....
I have now moved to langey , eastbourne but my heart is still in Heathfield.
Anyone who has lost a child...whatever age...will know the heartache...it never leaves..
Barry is buried in Old Heathfied Churchyard,Heathfied, East Sussex... were i visit every week.....
....Rest in Peace Barry...
Always in our hearts never to be forgotten.XXXXXX
PS....Barry left a legacy for his mum.... My 22year old grandson George whom i adore....
God works in mysterious ways.....Thank you Barry xxx
And thank you to george's mum Tina xxx

XMAS LOVE TO MY SON BARRY XXXX
I walked away that morning, without a backward glance,
I didn't know that moment was going to be our last.
The last time I would hold you or see your lovely face,
The last time I would kiss you and feel your strong embrace.
So solid and so real,so vibrant and alive,
A happy face with twinkling eyes, my fine young man, my child.
My first-born son, my Adam, the apple of my eye,
so cruelly taken from me, I never said goodbye.
The shattered remnant of my heart is strangely beating still,
with holes so black and fathomless no light could ever fill.
I don't know how I face each day without my darling boy.
Gone is all the happiness, the love of life, the joy.
The years stretch on before me, so bleak and dark and long,
I pray you walk beside me, son, and help to keep me strong.
And when my life is over, come to me on that day,
and smile at me and hold me tight and carry me away.
the wind that whispers through the trees, the brightest star at night,
a rainbow on a dismal day, a shaft of golden light,
All these are signs you send to me, a message from above,
that even death can't break the bonds of Son and Mother Love...
the memory of you
will live forever in our heart
we will always miss you
we missed you from the start.
you memory will live on
as we go our own way
but you were never gone
in a way, you chose to stay.
your our angel now
to show us right from wrong
just as you were in life
now your 10 times strong.
I miss you Barry xxxx
