Monday 11th august A British soldier killed when a suicide bomber rammed a car into his convoy in
Kabul was named as Signaller Wayne Bland.
"Wayne was a much-loved son, grandson, brother and uncle who served his country with distinction and
sadly paid the ultimate price. He was our true hero."
Signaller Bland, a bachelor with no children, was a passionate footballer and fan, supporting Leeds,
where he lived and had grown up.
The 21-year-old, from Leeds, died and two soldiers from his 16 Signal Regiment were wounded during
the attack on the eastern outskirts of the capital on Monday afternoon. Afghan officials said three
civilians were killed and 12 injured.
Signaller Bland's Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Justin Hodges, said: "Signaller Wayne Bland
was a superb soldier, full of character and a highly popular member of 16 Signal Regiment.
"His loss is all the more poignant for his family who were expecting him home on leave in the next
few weeks. Wayne will be laid to rest on the 28th

A True Soldier is tough indeed
standing tall and strong when there is a need
A Soldier also feels sadness, pain, and sorrow
Sometimes not looking forward to the trials of tomorrow
When a Soldier is wounded in battle
the nerves of his buddies it does rattle
When news reaches friends and family at home
how their worries and minds begin to roam
A wounded Soldier feels inadequate at best
stopping him from much needed healing rest
A wounded Soldiers wonders will he ever be alright,
trusting in God that he'll make it through the night.
When a Soldier is wounded far beyond repair
the loss and pain felt can not compare
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
they assure our freedom will always apply
To stand beside a Soldier and walk through his pain
will humble a civilian, no longer to complain
Love, patience, trust and hope is what a Soldier needs
to get them through some very treacherous deeds
Dear Lord please watch over our Military today
as they work to keep our freedom everyday
For the wounded and the families of Soldiers lost
Please Bless them with abundant love, for we know not the cost.
The Cost of a Soldier is set so very high
our support for them we should never deny
GOD BLESS YOU WAYNE A TRUE HERO {R}{I}{P}

Somewhere beyond the sunset,
where happiness never dies,
you live in a beautiful garden,
above the clear blue skies,
although we cannot see you,
you’re with us every day,
and all the love we have for you,
will never fade away.

ALWAYS IN MIND
⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰ ⊱♥⊰
Time has stood still for those who love you,
the grief is still fresh, their hearts are still blue.
Memories can ease pain but they never can fill,
the space that is left when they think of you still.
So stay near to those who miss you each day,
for they carry a sadness since you went away.
Send the strength to cope where others have tried,
and some love for their hearts that hurt deep inside.

♥═══♥ Tears.♥═══♥
♥═══♥
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love,
Made to release deep emotions,
A special gift sent from above.
♥═══♥
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old,
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
♥═══♥
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief,
When happy thoughts flee like a thief,
Running away with our hopes and our cares,
A tear brings welcome relief.
♥═══♥
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear,
With time a soul is healed,
Restored with the help of a tear.
♥═══♥
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives,
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
♥═══♥
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving,
The most precious gifts of all.
♥═══♥
Love Always Shirley x
