Personal Background

 

ryan

Ive created this site in memory of my baby son ryan franklin. He was born on the 11th febuary 2000 and went with the angels on 29th may 2002.

He was killed by his father who was later sentanced to 7 yrs in prison for his manslaughter, but he has just been released in june 2007 after serving a rubbish 3 yrs and 6 months.

Here is a few words from baby ryan:

I was 2 yrs old when i fell asleep and became an angel the yr was may 2002. In my mummys eyes i was an angel already but i have wings now and watch over my family, but there is one person who i loathe and that is my father lee khair, He was the one who ended my life so violently and killed me.After 2 days of fighting in hospital i could fight no more i was to tired and my body was to small to fight the injuries my evil father inflicted on me. Please be my voice now to support a good campaign.

If anyone would like to talk and doesnt know where to go or what to say im willing to listen to anyone and there stories. Im a much stronger person out of all this and i would like to help anyone in anyway i can, i can also let you know of any upcoming events or marches im on in the hope to get the laws changed. you can email me on cathy.franklin25@talktalk.net  thank you.

I have set up a tribute fund in Ryans name and its up and running now, you can find all details on this at www.justiceforryan.com Im tryignt o raise £5000 so i can set up a charity in Ryans name, so i have a few sponsered events this year and i hope be helping others with the money once i become a charity. I woudl like to donate to the youth association and also help pay to carry on fighting for justice and working hard to change laws. Any help would be kindly appreciated.

The moment that you died
our hearts spilt in two.

The one side filled with memories
the other died with you
we often lay awake at night
when the world is fast asleep
and take a walk down memory lane
with tears apon our cheek

remembering you is easy
we do it every day
but missing you is a heartache
that never goes away
we hold you tighty within our hearts and there you will remain
life has gone on with out you
but it will never be the same

for those who still have there sons
treat them with tender care
you will never know the emptiness
when you turn and there not there
Rest in peace

Mummy and baby ryan....just so happy. I love this photo ryan, of me and you it was taken one yr before the angels came for you.

 

 

If i could have a lifetime wish 

a dream that would come true 

I'd pray to God with all my heart 

for yesterday and you 

A thousand words can't bring you back 

I know because I've tried 

And neither would a million tears 

I know because I've cried 

You left behind a broken heart 

and happy memories too 

I never wanted memories 

I only wanted you. 

 

Go ahead and mention my child, 

The one that died you know. 

Don't worry about hurting me further. 

The depth of my pain doesn't show. 


Don't worry about making me cry 

I'm already crying inside. 

Help me to heal by releasing 

The tears that I try to hide. 


I'm hurt when you just keep silent, 

Pretending he didn't exist. 

I'd rather you mention my child, 

Knowing that he has been missed.

Franklin Family - Dear Baby Ryan, I didn't know you, but I know how beautiful you are and how loved you are by your mummy. I didn't know your mummy until I stumbled upon her hard work. You would be proud of her Ryan... she is doing a fantastic job for you down here. She is one amazing woman and I believe she has the power to change a few more laws that need changing, with the support from everyone that is helping her. I am sending you a big snuggle from me and my little boy Marley. Will see you over 'there' and will give you a big snuggle then too! N x x x - from Natalie Caulton

Hand In Hand - "Then the child opened its eyes, and looked up into the angel's beautiful face, which beamed with happiness, and at the same moment they were in heaven, where joy and bliss reigned. The child received wings like the other angel, and they flew about together, hand in hand." By Hans Christian Andersen Thoughts, Prayers, & God Bless, Haley - from Haley

With deepest sympathy - In a baby castle, way beyond the sky My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy, Who am I to wish him back into this world of strife, No, play on my little man, you have eternal life. And as the day draws to an end and I climb into bed, His little arms embrace me and I gently kiss his head, For I now have a treasure that I hold above all other, I have had a baby son and he a loving Mother With deepest sympathy xxx - from Kayleigh

Latest Memories

Hema Bedasie - There is nothing and no one that can undo the connection between you and your son. Your spirits are forever connected. Love knows no boundaries. He is definitely receiving all the love that you send to him. The physical body is only temporary. It is only a cover for the true Self or the Spirit which is eternal. Ryan has only shed a physical body that could could not hold him anymore. It doesn't mean that he has ceased to exist. Smile so that when he looks down on you he will smile also. Know that he is right there. Feel him with your heart.

djuna - May you rest in peace little baby Ryan. It breaks my heart that you are not here because you had every right but you came for a short while to meet your mother so she can know who she has to be with when it's time. I am sending oceans of love, strength and prayers for your mother and that she be strong. I love you baby Ryan. May you rest in peace.

Renee - May you be safe and happy in Heaven, watching over those who love you still. God bless your family. May happy memories heal their hearts the best they can. One day, you will be back together.

Sarah - Hi, I have recently lost my grandad last year who was told he had years too live but it ended so soon and my auntie this year who has been suffering really bad and was fighting for her life for two years and now the time has come for her to rest.
