My Daughter Brianna Carlton was a treasure to have she was my youngest child as far as i knew she
was a healthy fit little girl, Iwas unaware of any medical problem and she was never really ill,
just the usual coughs & colds that all kids get, she was a bright little girl who teachers
described as a pleasure to teach, and who never failed to impress them with her never ending
questions, she had just completed her first year in senior school and had made many friends most of
whom always came over to our house at weekends and they would have sleep overs, though why they
called them sleep overs when no one in the house got a wink of sleep will always puzzle me, she
loved anything with wheels, roller skates, scooters bikes, heelies, and so on, she enjoyed playing
football and would compete against her older brother who was never impressed when she managed to
score past him, she loved animals from hamsters to horses and always told me she wanted to be a vet
when she was older, she was a friendly little girl who always helped others, and very thoughtful. I
remember one evening I was feeling a little off colour and she jumped in my bed asking for a hug
wondering what she was waiting for after 15 minuites i asked her what was wrong she said ohhhhhh did
i forget to mention this hug is going to last alllllllllllllllllllllllllll night, she was a cute
little girl whose smile was infectious, she liked to do impressions of people on the tele, she liked
to watch Hollyoakes, Coronation street and Eastenders she was a proper little character, she loved
babies and helping younger children to learn new things, she was the perfect Daughter. On the 6th
September 2007 1 day after starting back to school after the 6 week break, I was phoned at work and
told Brianna had collapsed, they had called an ambulance and I was to meet them at Birmingham
Childrens Hospital A & E when I got there they had rushed her to Resus, and would not allow me
to go through, she lost her life to a disease called Cardiac Arhythmia, it was discovered she had a
problem called Long QT syndrome that was never ever diagnosed and thats what caused the Arythmia
which led to her death this was all discovered by a post mortem after her death. I still cannot
beleive Brianna has gone but I hope through this site I can somehow draw strength from others who
have been through similar situations.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by & read about Brianna
Brianna sounded like a wonderful little girl. i wish i'd have had the pleasure to have met her! Sleep tight angel. Love to you and your family! xx
What a beautiful angel
love to you Brianna, and all your
loving family, god bless you allxxx
She was so very, very special
And was so from the start
You held her in your arms
But mainly in your heart
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all.
She's gone to play with angels
In heaven up above
So keep your special memories
And treasure. them with love
Although your darling daughter
Was with you just a while
She'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile
angels
i asked a question when i was young and got a lovely answer....
i asked why are babies and children took fom us?
the answer i got was this....
god can take a baby from us when it's frist born, because its done its job even if it was for a second, then i said well what about children and she said children have a a specail place in god's heart they are on this earth to make there families hearts shine to make people realise that and inacent heart can give you love,joy and happiness with no strings attached and only ask to be loved back, then god takes them then to be there families angel to watch over them and make people think of how to live there life through the eye's of children. selfless.
i hope you can find comfort in my nan's words.
my heart goes out to you and your family, Brianna looks like a lovely girl who did you proud!
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful Angel. God only takes the best. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through, my heart goes out to you all. God bless you Brianna, rest in peace darling. Love and hugs to you and your family xxxx
If only
If only we had done this, if only we had said something maybe anything that might have changed the event, it's horrid, we may have dealed with it better.
Your daughter was an innocent, not knowing and you not knowing. Can not imagine what absolute nightmare you are going through. kisses and cuddles to you and your family. x
i am so sorry
so sorry for your loss, i know how you feel i lost my son within 11 hours, 4 hospitals. as you say pefectly healthy 17 y/o and he is gone gone forever. Brianna is a beautiful angel and i know that doesn't take the pain away for me 1 year 1 month and 8 day 7 hours hasn't made it easier. i guess we have to keep our faith in God and accept we will never understand, nothing will make since, no reason is good enough for having to servive a loss of a child. i too have an other child a girl and luv her with all my heart but still miss my son every instant of the day. God has promised we will reunite with our loved ones one day. this is a unexplainable time for you and your fam. i will be praying for you for lots of love and confort from God. stay true to your feelings, cry if you need to i know all the presure to make others feel ok brings a mother down. may the blessing of our heavenly father be with you.
To a sweet dear angel
My eyes filled up reading about your lovely adorable little girl who didn`t deserve to be taken away so young. God Bless her, God surely takes the best.
Carolyn and children -xx-x-
Heart-felt condolences from one Brummie to another...
Dear Brianna's mom...
Thank-you for sharing your story with us...although it is very sad. Your eulogy really shows how full of life Brianna was. I'm sure you will find genuine support here on GTS.
I'd like to share a poem with you, that one of my GTS friends sent me. It has often brought me comfort..
Please do not be unhappy, just because I’m out of sight,
Remember I am with you every morning noon and night.
The day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and said I welcome you.
I will be beside you every day, week and year,
And when you’re sad I’m standing there to wipe away the tear.
To my very many friends trust God knows what is best,
I’m still not far away from you, I’m just beyond the crest.
And when you are walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb,
But together we can do it, taking one day at a time.
With loving support, Faye xxx
To Brianna
Sweetheart I am missing you so very much I still can not belive you have gone just like that. I remember how beautiful you looked going to school that morning, how we were all a little crazy in the morning trying to get back into the usual routine after the long summer holiday, you were complaining because you could not get your hair as straight as you wanted your brother was complaining because he couldnt get in the bathroom and I was complaining because we had to go in 5 minuites yet no one was ready. I dropped you both at the shops then made my way to work, not even thinking it would be the last time i saw your face or gave you a hug. Brianna I wish i had some kind of warning that something wasnt right. I was your Mom WHY didnt I realise?????It was my duty to protect you yet I FAILED!!! I am so so so sorry sweetheart. You were so lively and so full of life I never for one minuite thought there was anything to worry about. Brianna when I got that call I thought maybe you were just exhausted or maybe just passed out from heat or something similar, never ever did i think i would be faced with thirty or so doctors trying to save your life as I was ushered away by nurses who wanted to know so many things any allergies, any illnesses, any family history of this and that even the possibility of drugs being involved Brianna you were the sweetest innocent child and I could not understand how they could even allow these questions but of course I know they were trying to save your life, when Nan & Grandad arrived at the hospital they were tryig to get answers from the drs but they were too late minuites later the doctor ushered us to a little room and explained that you had gone, we were allowed to see and I SAT THERE THINKING HOW CAN THIS BE TRUE one minuite youre at school safely the next your gone it didnt & still does not make sense to me at all, I did not want to leave the Hospital that night leaving you alone seemed so so wrong I had never ever done it in 12 years you were always with nan & grandad or with me and dad you were so so precious to all of us and we are all trying to deal with this, everyday its so so hard. I know your brother misses you like crazy as well, he always talks about you and has so many funny memories of you, the little squabbles and fights you had, the things you did together its so so hard for all of us. I put your story on here so maybe it will be able to help us as a family to write down things when we feel we need to talk to you. Brogan told me the other day he sent you a text because he needed the code for the padlock on the shed, sweetheart I cant beleive it I still expect you to ring me and say mom can jess come for tea today or mom can i sleep at megans I look around at the pictures of you and wonder why you were choses. You were 12 years old almost 13 and I know you wanted GHD straighteners for your birthday and sims 2 pets sweetheart if I could have you back i would buy the moon & stars for you I love and miss you Brianna so very much Happy Halloween Darling xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sorry
I am so so sorry fot the loss of your little angel she looks so beatiful, so hard to understand why.
God needed another angel for the gates of heaven, so she chose Brianna, to welcome everyone with a big hug and a smile.
Remember he only takes the best, from what i read no wonder he took little Brianna,
Sleep well honny, see you at the gates
