12 years on...

Dear Tanya

We never met, but I started Year 7 at Roundhay the following year after your tragic accident. One thing I remember vividly about my first few weeks of high school is the teachers telling us about you and what a bright, happy girl you were. I remember Mr Clephan the Head talking in assembly about the moment he heard they weren't able to save you in hospital. He seemed very solemn and moved and I think we all felt the same during that talk.

I have never forgotten you and I'm sure many of my former classmates and teachers haven't either. I know after what happened, people took action to make the school bus journey at Roundhay safer, so that nothing like that could ever happen again.

I was happy to learn from an old newspaper article that you were able to donate organs so someone else could have life. From what I hear about the kind of girl you were, I'm sure you would have been happy about that.

You just came to my mind recently and I was pleased to find this online memorial so I could leave this tribute to you. It's hard to believe it has been 12 years now. I am now in my last year at university and you would be nearly 26 now, less than 4 years older than me.

Rest in peace Tanya

God bless

I will always remember you

I had been nursing for a few years when I decided to do my Childrens Nursing Course.
One of the placements that I had to do was in A&E.
One of the patients I had to care for was you.
It was heartbreaking.
All these years down the line I cannot forget the images of you in the A&E. We all wanted so much to help you, to save you. Unfortunately the injuries you had were too great, if you had survived you would not have been the happy cheerful girl the news reports said that you were.
I am sure your family is still very raw from your death, I certainly will never forget you and I hope you really do rest in peace.
I wish I had known the girl that made you what you were, but unfortunately I only met you at the very end. I hope your family can take peace in the knowledge that in A&E we pushed and pushed and pushed that team to do what they could for you.
We achieved little, but at least your family got to say a proper goodbye to you.
Sleep well.

MY ANGEL

Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you for watching over me
Dear Guardian Angel
You are oh so sweet

You protect me from the wrong
And lead me to the right
If I’m lost in the dark
You take me to the light

Dear Guardian Angel
Why do you care?
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you for always being there

You take my hand
And wipe away my tears
You hold me close
And fight away my fears

Dear Guardian Angel
Please stay close to me
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you, I know you’ll always believe

You watch me sleeping quietly
You caress my face lovingly
You brush my bangs out of my eyes
You give me sunny skies

Dear Guardian Angel
Can I make it up to you?
Dear Guardian Angel
Thank you for always being true

Guardian Angel
