Petty squabbles and thinking life is hard
Not looking further than our own back yard
A young girl lived more in her few years
Than many hiding behind inconsequential fears
A family in mourning at the loss of their daughter
Remembering the love shared despite what life brought her
Death and pain was a daily reality
A bucket list to be all she could be
An inspiration to all that heard her plight
A brave little girl has lost her fight
RIP Alice Pyne - a true hero

So much hope and ambition, i remember the day. Taken too early, now so far away. Life emptied out, memories all thats left. Reality hits me, takes the breath from my chest.
Less than 2 weeks from. My birthday. That's when she passed. But that was 2012. Now there's. Less than 2 weeks. Until my birthday. She isn't here. One thing. One thing I want. For when I turn. 12.
I wish I new how to save a life, Cause if I did u would still be here now, We'd still be together I'd soon be ur wife, But somehow this happend and nobody knows how, Everything has gone my world has...
A hand above the water. An angel reaching for the sky. Is it raining in heaven. Do you want us to cry. And everywhere the broken hearted. On every lonely avenue. No one could reach them.
Dedicated to "Bagster" life will not be the same now you are gone.
God has gained many angels this school year. He took TWO from my school. Ones name is Brandon.
@sarahgamal @chickgamer I've only found out she passed away earlier. Such a brave and generous girl. Very sad
I've never really have much thought into donating bone marrow. I have never really gave much thought into donating blood, although I have had numerous opportunities to give blood. Although I haven't read Alice's story I kind of feel like a massive knob now, (I will be reading it of course). My dad used to run for charity's and ran for Anthony Nolan Trust before it was what it is today, I never did anything. I didn't even donate money. I don't even know why now that I think about it. Perhaps I was and still am preoccupied with stuff, I don't know. I will however be making sure I register with Anthony Nolan first thing in the morning.
I have never given blood, I've had numerous opportunities but I never have. I suppose I have been too preoccupied with myself to even consider it. Bone marrow donation hasn't ever crossed my mind, not once. It would be easy for me to say this is because the need for donors is hardly advertised. My Dad used to run for the Anthony Nolan charity (blood cancers) in half marathons and full marathons, I think when I was younger there might have been some kid who had some sort of blood cancer who lived on our street. I don't even know if he is still alive. I have never even donated money to Anthony Nolan fund despite this and despite my Dad at least trying to do something. I feel like a knob basically. I know its not about me. I will be doing something about it and I will make sure I register as a blood and also a marrow donor.
