Some people only dream of seeing an Angel - we got to hold one in our arms.
This is the poem that we had put on the back of Derek's "In Memory" card:
LITTLE FOOTPRINTS
How very softly
you tiptoed into my world
Almost silently,
only a moment you stayed.
but what an imprint
your footprints have left
upon my heart.
That poem was written by D. Ferguson
