*********************************************************
6th December 2007 and its now 3 years since you died in my arms. I remember the day when they took you to hospital Monday 28th November, you phoned and told me and I set off from Leicester on the journey to Boston. It was snowing and the traffic was chaotic, then you called again and mentioned cancer and I couldnβt take it in, no, my boy couldnβt have cancer you were fit and strong and looking forward to coming home, this was not happening they had made some mistake. I know youβd been ill for a while and I was getting worried about you but no-one thought it was this serious. On the Monday night it was confirmed you had cancer. On the Tuesday it was confirmed the tumour was in your kidney and had spread to your lungs. This was the day you asked me if I would get fed up looking after you through all the treatmentβ¦. silly question Royce. On the Wednesday they told us it was Renal Medullary Cancer, extremely rare, usually only effecting black or mixed race young people who have a trait of sickle cell (only 56 other people in the whole world had been diagnosed with this cancer in the last 10 years) They also told me no-one had survived this cancer, but this was my Royce they were talking about who had his whole life ahead of him, you couldnβt die. The doctors told us we were to be transferred to Leicester to see the kidney specialist at the Royal Infirmary and also to be near your family and friends. I travelled in the ambulance with you and they put the sirens on whenever they come up amongst traffic, you only had a small tank of oxygen and they didnβt want you to worry about your breathing. This wasnβt happening, it was all so unreal. They settled you in a room in the Osbourne Building at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. The staff there were brilliant, too brilliant in fact, it began to sink in that more than likely you wouldnβt make it. I donβt know if you realised this, if you did then you never said. I was trying my hardest to keep your spirits up but I had to keep going to the loo to have a cry because deep down I knew we needed a miracle. You wrote me little notes as by now it was uncomfortable for you to talk, I still have them and will treasure every one. On the Monday night just a week later the nurses managed to get you into bed, the first time all week, you wanted to sit in the chair or go for a ride around the ward in a wheelchair ! That day youβd had cornmeal porridge for breakfast and 2 bowls of soup, then ate half a box of Quality Street. I remember thinking if your eating then you might be getting better but I was wrong you were getting weaker by the day. The nurses propped you up in bed in a cloud of pillows and the morphine took effect and you drifted off to sleep. It was 7.00am the next morning when I looked at you and told you if you were not going to get better then its best you donβt wake up. Your final results were due back on the Tuesday and as much as Iβd prayed for some good news I knew it was going to be bad. I didnβt want you to hear that Royce. At 7.20am you half woke up and then fell asleep in my arms. I was telling you it was all right, I hope you heard me, I told you to go to granddad and he would look after you and make you better. You didnβt have to hear those final words from the doctors, you did as I told you for once. I had to let you go, it would have been too much for you to hear that there was nothing they could do for you. I was by your side all week and I would have done anything to help you but it wasn't to be, whoever sent you to me needed you back. I have a lot to thank you for and I am so proud to be your mum. Love you millions from your heartbroken Mum XXXXXX

Your with me then, now and always.
Miss and Love you so much Babes.. Forever x.x.x.x.x
My Son 4 years on.
Well it's that time again, 4 years on. I remember the last day I spent with you like it was yesterday. I know that feeling will never go away. Been keeping myself busy but in reality I miss you and your jokey ways, your mad ten minutes of sulking and your sorrys, you always said sorry. Yes you were a little ******* but you were one in a million little ******* and I wouldn't have you any other way. I'm so glad I have so many picture sof you, they're all around the house, in every room. And yes I keep your bedroom untidy just the way you like it!! Every one misses you, Simon, Marie, Paige, Dinah and Dante and all the lads. They keep a check on me and make sure I'm ok which is so nice of them. I sit and wonder what you would be like as a you got older, how many children you would have had., what you would be doing. I know one thing you would have been a Great Son...Love and Miss you Millions and thank you for looking out for me from wherever you are (which I know is not that far away) Your Crazy loving Mum XXXXXX
