I have created a new site for my beautiful daugther Emma Jane Porter even though her friend created one for her as i feel i need to let people know exactly what happened to Emma. Emma took poorly in early January 2007 and over some weeks was taken to the doctors was even sent home from hospital a few times and had seen her own GP twice and 3 Emergency doctors. She was addmitted by 2 emergency doctors but was sent home. Emma would sleep for 19hrs or more a day had severe vomiting, severe headache, stiff neck and could not stand the light. She had no rash but instead a bruise that would not go away under the glass tumbler yet they told me she did not have Meningitis. She then started collapsing and being unsteady on her feet, and had severe water infection. Emma eventually lost the use of her legs and on 7th February 2007 they done a lumbar punture and it came back with suspected T.B Meningitis. On Friday 9th of February 2007 She went Blind and was refferred to another hospital and was confirmed she had pressure to the head A lumbar puncture was performed again on 12th February and everything went wrong from there. Emma went right down and in early hours on 13th February Emma stopped responding to me and had difficulty breathing. An operation was performed to try and relieve the pressure but was unsuccessful. Emma died on 14th February 2007 (Valentines Day). She had 80% Pressure on the brain. All those weeks she went without proper treatment ie -Paracetemol and Ibuprofen
and being sent home so many times has made our family very angry at the mistakes that were made. They even said when Emma was crying and screaming with the light and severe headache and stiff neck that she was going over the top a bit. How can you go over the top when your in pain? Our family knows that if she was given medication from day one and tested her for Meningitis Emma would be with us today and i wouldnt be sitting here writing her story. She was only 13 years old and had so much to give. A beautiful girl with a heart of gold that was robbed of her life. She meant everything to her older brother and sister. How can the signs of Meningitis still be ignored in this day and age. Our local evening paper The Shields Gazette actually highligted Emmas story and also the Daily Mirror as they obviously knew it should not have happened.
angel sister.
each second of the day i think about you, wondering how different our lives would be right now if you were still here, but sadly your not. ill never ever forget you nor will i want to. i hope were ever you are your happy and free. Forever in my heart and Memorys, love you so much little sister one day soon we meet again, love you now and always your big brother Karl. xo

FOR MONDAY
ღBest and most beautiful
ღThings in the world cannot
ღBe seen or even touched.
ღThey must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
ღGone yet not forgotten,
ღAlthough we are apart,
ღYour spirit lives within me,
ღForever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
ღA gift for such a little while,
ღYour loss just seems so wrong,
ღYou should not have left before us,
ღIt’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
ღPerhaps they are not
ღStars in the sky,
ღBut rather openings
ღWhere our loved ones shine down
ღTo let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
ღ The Watcher ღ
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
ღ As We Look Back ღ
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
ღ To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me ღ
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 travelled 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 memories 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 do not need a special day to bring you to my mind.
The days I do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on.
My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life I loved you dearly; in death I love you still.
My Mom is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night
when all others are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her
to help her understand.
But like the sands on the beach
that never wash away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others...
a smile of disguise!
But through Heaven's door I see
tears flowing from her eyes.
My mom tries to cope with death
to keep my memory alive.
But anyone who knows her knows
it is her way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom
through Heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels
protect me forevermore.
I know that doesn't help her...
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get a chance, go visit her...
and show her that you care.
For no matter what she says...
no matter what she feels.
My surviving mom has a broken heart
that time won't ever heal.
Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.
It won't be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I'll be there with you.
Lots of Love and Kisses always my Beautiful Angel your Heartbroken mam xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

My Beautiful Girl (Happy 16th Birthday)
Hello my gorgeous girl, i,m sorry i didnt write on your page for your 16th Birthday last Thursday 19th November. I hadnt forgotten it was a really hard day for us all. We held a party in your memory though on Wednesday 18th November for what would have been your 16th Birthday. It was a karaoke in your honour because you loved to sing and you had a voice of an Angel. Your Sister Nicola sang one of your favourite songs Think Twice by Celine Dion and guess what even your brother Karl Sang Angels by Robbie Williams in memory of you. The night was fantastic lots of people cried when i sang ny song in memory of you by Celine Dion - My heart will go on because i know you are with us always and forever . Even though my heart has been shattered into pieces some of them pieces still go on because its you keeping me strong and im still fighting for justice because my darling Angel i will never give up. Love always and foreva and eva your heartbroken Mam xoxoxoxoxoxox
❤
I know it’s hard and painful now
And your heart is truly breaking
But I just wanted you to know
As time goes on it will stop aching
I did not leave you there alone
I’m closer now than ever
I’m in your thoughts
Your mind and dreams
I’ll be with you forever
❤
