Jeff Hodgson, originally from Warton near Preston, fell victim to asthma. Jeff was discovered collapsed after enjoying a family meal. He failed to gain consciousness and died on Saturday night.

Jeff's dad Geoff Hodgson, 48, said the whole family are struggling to come to terms with the teenager's sudden death as he was always full of energy and lived life to the full.

Geoff, his wife Sandra and sons Jeff and Aidan lived in Warton, near Preston, until 18 months ago when they moved to Darwen, where the tragedy happened.

Geoff, an engineer, said: ""We had tea together on Saturday night and Jeff was absolutely fine. He took some medication as he had a slight chest infection, and he went upstairs.

"About 15 minutes later, our three-year-old Aidan came running downstairs and said: 'Daddy, Jeff can't breathe'.

"We are all totally devastated.

Time, never ending, everlasting
takes its toll on all.
And as each moment passes
a teardropp starts to fall.
History passes and plays its part.
How did it end?
How did it start?
With people
laughing, crying
living, dying
and then repeating again.
With people
never learning
always yearning
to become free men.

But a teardropp on the face of time
stains the face it's on.
And never does it really dry
for it's never really gone.

Autumn leaf ♥

If I were a leaf on a majestic tall tree,
And I had the choice, of which I could be,
I’d be a maple to turn orange yellow gold
When the cool autumn winds turned warm nights cold.

I’d want to be high as high could be,
So all of the world would be open to me.
I’d sway with the wind, spring, summer and fall
Up in the maple so big and so tall.

Then one moonlit night in October’s cold air,
A beautiful frost would come paint me with care.
All leaves would turn color, as God would have done
To give the world beauty for short days to come.

Then if I could choose on which day I would fall
I pick late October when winds came to call.
I’d choose Sunday morning so bright and sunny,
As sun through the leaves flowed golden as honey.

I’d pick the sweet moment, when the wind was just right
To let go of my limb and float nice and light
Drifting ever so calmly from the place of my birth,
Then gently lie down to my rest here on earth.

“I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.”


~ Nicholas Sparks



"I love you more than there are stars in the sky and fish in the sea." ♡

— Nicholas Sparks

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!

~Annie and me ♥ ♥

Fairies in the Morning ♥

Oh in the morning
The fairies rise,
Wipe the sleep
From their dreamy eyes,
Wake to face
Another day,
Filled with wonder
And come-what-may.

They yawn and stretch,
Unfurl their wings,
And rise to see
What the new day brings,
Comb the tangles
From their hair,
Then open their windows
To the morning air.

And so the fairies
Start their day.
Just the same
As us, you say?
Except for the wings,
They are, you see,
Much the same
As you and me!

☆ At Christmas Time ☆

Remember they are still with us,
We see their faces every day,
When we raise our Christmas glasses,
They are not too far away.

Though they're not here in body,
Their spirit is still here,
And as long as we remember this,
They always will be near.

ღ♥ Favorite Star of Mine ♥ღ♥

♥ღ♥ Far above in that sky,
Is a small star of mine,
Star where life exists,
That star shines brighter then light.

It is the star of fascination for me,
It is the star of my fantasy,
It is the star of my dreams,
It is the star that belongs to me.

A star that is all alone,
A star that is full of love,
A star where I have to reach,
A star of my dreams.

It is the star that lies beyond the sun,
It is the star of ultimate truth,
It is star of love and peace,
It is star where my soul lives.

It is the one to call me,
It is the one to attract me,
It is the one I’ll love to see,
It is the one I have to reach ♥ღ♥
