Michael Kelly died on May 3rd 2008 aged 18. He lived in Douglas, Isle of Man and was the only child of Paul and Sarah. He died as a back seat passenger in a car that failed to negotiate a right hand bend on the TT course. The three friends he was travelling with all walked away with barely a scratch. Michael was wearing his seatbelt.
The driver of the car has been found guilty of death by dangerous driving, jailed for 18 months and got a four year driving ban.
Michael was my only child. He was a typical teenager; part man, part boy and he was the life and soul of any gathering be it family or friends. He was cheeky and frustrating and the biggest stress in my life. But he was also loving and sensitive, cuddly and soft and I would give anything to have one of his 'huggles' again, and never mind the stress!
For another sad mum
My Precious Son where are you now
Are you just beyond my view.
I see you in each rainbow,
And in the morning dew.
And in each and every sunny day,
I'll see your lovely smiling face.
And with your very special charm,
That no-one can replace.
I never got the chance to tell you son,
How much I loved you so.
This we should do every single day,
But I'm hoping you will know.
My heart will never mend again,
For it's broken in two.
Though my Mother love will go on and on,
Until I join you once again,
I will look for you my precious son,
Through sunshine and through rain.
God took you away from any hurt,
And from those who caused you pain.
So you can rest content son,
That no-one will hurt you again.
And so goodbye my precious son,
Until we meet once more.
For we will love you forever.
Of that you can rest assured
Thinking of you
I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That It’s Impossible
To Hear Your Voice once More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You.xx
I too lost my son and I feel your pain as you can feel mine. I hope our sons are having a good laugh up there as thats the way I would like to picture them now.
My Thoughts and my Prayers are with you and your Family now and always. xx Karen.
I know the pain you feel
I too lost my 18 year old son in a car crash. Adam was the front seat passenger, and the only one of the 3 in the car wearing a seat belt. The driver lost control on a left hand bend and hit a telegraph pole, breaking it in two before hitting an oncoming car. The 84 year old front seat passenger in the other car died of her injuries a few hours later and Adam died 10 days later in hospital. He never regained conciousness. The driver has just recently been found guilty of causing 2 deaths by dangerous driving and is awaiting sentencing. As a mother I could have tred to forgive the driver but he has shown no remorse and feels pity only for himself.
Your pain and sadness won't get better but you wll learn to cope with it, and I hope you will find comfort in this wonderful site as I have. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless you and your darling son.

With my Lord, who’s set me free.

For God is by my side.

Is now where I reside.

For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.

On earth when I was there.

Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.

Michael
Everything changed
When two became three.
We had motive and purpose,
A reason to be.
You defined what we are,
A mum and a dad.
And you made our lives … interesting,
Through good times and bad.
You were loving and kind,
From the moment you knew,
That kisses and cuddles
Meant ‘we love you’.
You were generally accepting
Of our reasons for ‘No’,
Rarely arguing the toss
Or threatening to go.
You had your moments,
When everything went wrong.
But all is forgiven
Now that you’ve gone.
In the bathroom we’ll see hair wax,
And cream for your spots.
And we’ll think of you fondly,
‘Til we smell your stinky socks!
We’ll miss your broken old specs,
And your stubbly chin,
Your twinkling blue eyes,
And that cheeky grin.
Paul will miss his football buddy,
His best friend and his mate.
Sarah will miss the ‘huggles’,
Her TV companion and totally cleared plates.
We’ll miss you, Michael,
Like you just wouldn’t believe
Three are two again -
But you didn’t have to leave.
Now we have to say goodbye,
It’s almost too much to bear.
We’ve lost our son, our little man.
Rest in Peace, Mike. Take Care.
