On March 20th, a bomb exploded in Warrington, Cheshire, claiming the lives of two young boys, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry. Since the early 1970s, there have been many IRA bombings in Britain and scores of people have died. All have generated huge interest from the London-based media and, in that sense, Warrington was no different. Its timing, the fact that there was no adequate warning and that two very young children were victims -- one of whom fought for his life for several days -- ensured that it received massive coverage.
Tim Parry, 12, a keen Everton supporter, was shopping with friends when he was caught in the two blasts in the Cheshire town of Warrington in 1993. He later died in hospital of his injuries.
♥ღ♥ Hold My Hand In Heaven ♥ღ♥
♥ღ♥ Hold my hand in heaven show me the way,
meet me at the pearly gates
I'll see you there some sweet day.
I don't care about the riches or fame I leave below It'll all mean nothing where were gonna go.
Hold my hand in heaven,
show me the way,
how I've missed you here on earth
I have so much to say.
I'll be the one with the smile on my face,
and I'll greet you with a warm embrace.
We'll walk down the streets of gold,
and stare at the sparkling flowing streams.
Hold my hand in heaven
like I've pictured all those times in my dreams.
Nothing on this earth could possibly compare,
to all the glory you have in heaven up there.
Once I reach my destination,
and I get see your face.
All will go well,
I'll be in my final resting place ♥ღ♥

Tim it has been such a long time since you left , I only hope your parents have found some sort of peace.
T....Thoughtful
I ... Important
M .. Mature
P.... Perfect
A ... Artistic
R ... Responsible
R ... Reliable
Y.... Yes he was a son
a son whose life was taken away by EVIL
Nite Nite Tim
A Kiss
We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angels Kiss
A Kiss thats sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss thats very special
From someone that you love
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For its meant for only you
So when our hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again
About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And that gentle breeze you took for granted
Was just an Angels Kiss x
I remember...
...so clearly the day this happened. My son was 2 and we were supposed to meet a friend at McDonalds at lunchtime but couldn't make it and called it off. We were lucky then but Tim and others weren't. My son (now 16) died suddenly in April this year and we now know the devastation losing your child brings. Our continued sympathy goes out to you, as it did then. Much love xxx
An Ordinary Boy
Tim - lovely Tim
With that big cheeky grin
And eyes as blue as the sky
When I look at your picture
And think of your death
All I can do is ask, 'Why?'
Why - when your life was so full of promise -
WHY where you taken away?
Why where you killed by a murderer's bomb?
It's a question I ask every day.
Just a twelve year old boy
Your parent's pride and joy
A happy, carefree lad
Oh why did you - so innocent and good
Have to die coz of something so bad?
And yet... though I know that no 'cause' on earth can justify taking your life -
Just the same, it's your name that will help bring an end to Ireland's terrible strife
'A symbol for peace' is what your dad said
And a symbol for peace you've become
So you see, dear Tim, you're not really dead
For your name and your memory live on
You will live on forever in your families' hearts
And you'll live on in my heart, too
For you see, dear Tim, 'till the day that I die
I will always think of you
I think to of your parents. their pain and their grief
And I really, really care
And so, each night before I sleep
I remember them in my prayers
As they go through the years
With the heartaches and tears
May your mum and dad also find joy
It's so easy to do - they can just think of you -
Tim - an Ordinary Boy

20th March, 1993 is a day I will never forget...
The deaths of Tim, and Jonathan Ball, broke my heart.
I worked for almost a year at the Peace Centre set up in their name.
They will never be forgotten.
God bless their families.
Love always,
Julie

The Gift of Memory
One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure
The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep
It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!
in gods keeping
