Born 2nd February 1993
Died 25th September aged 9
Jordan is my little brother. He was always a lively little boy, just like any other 9 year old boy.
Always playing football and out with his friends. He was always on the go, always with holes in his
trousers from falling over and he ALWAYS had a smile on his face.
When he was 7, In October 2000 he started being sick and complaining of headaches. My mum and dad
took him to hospital and doctors loads of times and they said it wasnt anything to worry about, He
became more and more poorly, mum and dad took him back and the doctors didnt know what it was. he
had to stay in hospital a couple of times but they still didnt know what was wrong
It came to Feburary 2001 and he was diagnosed with a brain and spinal tumour at a different
hospital.
He started his treatment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and he had about 8 operations, one was to
fit a shunt in his head to drain the fluid out of his brain and another was to fit a portercath in
his chest for his chemo.
He had a good life while he was here, he met all the leeds united players, He went to see nigel
martin and Alan Smith before a game and had a day out at thorpe Arch with david batty.
He went to Lapland with wish upon a star with some of the people out of emmerdale.
His biggest achievement was being made a honarary figher fighter for white watch, pontefract fire
station, where Andy, Dave, Pete, Colin, Barry and the rest of white watch made lots of his dreams
come true including riding in a fire engine, having a fire fighters suit made for him, and been
included in a practise drill.
Despite being ill all the time and in and out of hospital, he always wanted to go to school to see
his mates, especially Steven Chappel, he'd been best mates with him ever since nursery.
In April my mum and dad took Jordan for a scan and the doctors gave him the all clear, the cancer
had gone and that he was in remission.
Only 3 months later in July we booked a family holiday to cornwall, We all had a brilliant time,
Jordan was with one of his best mates, Alex.
When we arrvied home, Jordan became ill again, my mum and dad took him to the hospital for a scan
and it showed that the cancer had come back and he only had a few weeks left to live.
In september, everyone could tell he wasnt going to make it, he was getting weaker, he couldnt walk
and the rest is too painful to talk about, we went to candle lighters in bridlington (A place where
families with children with cancer can go for a break) for a week. When the week was up we went home
and packed some things, we went to a childrens hospice called Martin House.
We arrived at Martin House on friday,While we were there, Jordan was getting weaker and weaker and
on saturday my mum told me that he was going to die.
I went into his room said night-night love you, he said i love you back.my mum & dad stayed with
him all night & at 6 o clock on monday morning he woke up being sick , He fell unconcious and
didnt wake up, he died on wednesday morning 8.00am 25th september 2002 .
for the next 2 weeks we all stayed at martin house jordan was in a special room & we could go
& see him & talk to him any time we wanted.
At Jordans funeral some of the white watch fire fighters carried jordan into church in formal
uniform and carried him down to his grave, The chief fire officer of west yorkshire, Phil toase,
came to Jordans funeral aswell.
Nobody will get over what has happened. Its the worse thing that could happen to anybody.
He will always be in my heart.
Never Ever fogotton.
My little Angel always.
Love you Jordan xxx
Imagine....being locked in your own body.
Imagine.... not being able to speak, walk on your own, see or swallow, while still having cognitive
abilities and thoughts.
Imagine....waking everyday and experiencing the sensation of losing the use of a finger, toe, limb
at a pace that shuts down your entire body within weeks.
Imagine....you are trapped, without hope or without a lifeline to the outside world around you.
Now imagine....you are 9 years old and have a brain tumour.
jordan
I remember the day that you were born
So tiny and so sweet
I'd waited a whole nine months
For us to finally meet
And there you were all 8lb 11 oz
ten fingers and ten toes
With lovely skin ,chubby cheeks
And a cute little button nose.
The years went by
and you grew up
Getting older every year
And then came the doctors words
every parent dreads to hear.
I'm afraid your son has cancer
I'm sorry but its true
My world turned upside down that day
At the thought of losing you.
The tears they came
And you got sick
You struggled from the start
but you weren't giving up without a fight
And you fought with all your heart.
You fought with so much courage
You'd put grown men to shame
But it wasnt right
That at just nine
You had to suffer in so much pain.
I thought you were getting better jordan
But then more bad news again
I'm afraid jordans now terminal
As the cancer has spread more into his brain.
And that was it
all hope was gone
There was nothing more they could do
I had to face the facts
That i was definately gonna lose you.
I never told you,you were dying jordan
As you were only still nine
How could i tell you,you'd never see
The things you had not yet seen.
we brought you home
Where you belonged
Tried to make the most of everday
It isnt an easy thing to do
As i had to watch you slowly fade away.
In the end it proved too much
And your body grew so weak
The cancer finally took you
It took you in your sleep.
And when i saw you sleeping
With the look upon your face
I knew that you were now pain free
And were in a better place.
That doesn't make it any easier though
For me now that you're gone
I miss you so much everyday
And I'm so proud to be your Mum.
Love you forever babes. Xxxxxx
i love you..
jordan. this is the only chance ive had to write to you. god you dont understand how much i miss you. your in my thoughts everyday every night. i cant get over the thought i lost you. not just me. everybody. me and steven sit at school and re-cap how much memories we had with you. i go down to your grave all the time to see you and speak to you. is kills me to think your not around anymore. our memories were amazing. the day i found out you passed away it killed me inside. i just wish you were back here. our parents said we were going to get old and get married. i wish that would of happend. just saying how much i miss you sweetheart. i love you and miss you so much babe. love ameey flynn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

XMAS
Xmas is one of the hardest times.
Remembering the years when you were here at Xmas and wondering what to get you. Then seeing the excitement on your face when you opened your presents.
Now it's all different, can't go to the shops and get you presents and see your face when you open them.
Sometimes I go into a shop and see something and straight away think Jordan would like that.
Life's not fair
Love and miss you always
Love from Nana and Grandad XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A CHILD LOANED
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine," He said,
"For you to love the while he lives,
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, til I call him back,
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand'.

Right now I'm in a different place
And although we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets too
I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
And if a tear should start to fall
I'll still be there for you
And when the day arrives
That we are no longer apart
I'll smile and hold you close to me
Forever in my heart
Sorry ive not been on for a while but due to PC playing up and other probs not been possible.
My Love to you and your loving family xxxxx
We want to always remember
the beautiful life you lived
and keep alive the memories we have
through remembering what you did
For you're so special to all of us
a wonderful person indeed
your love, laughter and warmth
reflected a heart that believed
Just n the everyday things we do
we remember your faith and love
in the words you spoke to help us through
is a continued reminder for us
Although we miss you so very much
we know we'll see you once more
for this is the hope we have in god
being re-united in the lord
And as we gather we'll continue to share
special times we went through
for these are memories that warm our hearts
as we honour the memory of you
Love & Hugs ~~ Jane...xxx
A SPECIAL FRIEND X

If u love me as a friend u'll read the whole thing. What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness? What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. dont ever leave the one u love for the one u like, because the one u like will leave u for the one they love.
If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic.. you're just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...

Although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
to ease the sense of loss
that you’re experiencing today.
Hold fast to your memories
to all of the cherished moments
of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories of your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart
today and forever more.
Thinking of you always ~~ Love Jane...x♥x
