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}

A hole with no bottom
A hill with no top
A road with no bend
A night with no end.
α¦♥♥α¦
It's as if it's not happened
It's as if it's not true
It's as if it's a dream
Yet a numbness seeps through.
α¦♥♥α¦
There's a feeling of emptiness
A gap to be filled
There's a feeling of loneliness
That cannot be stilled.
α¦♥♥α¦
They say time's a healer
How long will it take?
I can't see it ending
It's a permanent ache.
α¦♥♥α¦
Life as no meaning
Yet it as to go on
I find it so hard
I feel so alone.
α¦♥♥α¦
No one will ever know
The depth of my sorrow
I just have to trust
There'll be a better tomorrow.
α¦♥♥α¦
May god give me strength
To keep on going
To get through this pain
To feel real again.
α¦♥♥α¦
I'll never get over it
Of that i am sure
But i'll give time a chance
And hope for a cure.
α¦♥♥α¦
Time's without end
Love is too
I'll never forget you
I'll always love you .
α¦♥♥α¦
♥ With love ♥

I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way.

♥A loving gift of Rose's, just one can say it all,♥
♥To stand upon time's table, until the petals fall♥,
♥To draw the sun of morning, but no more to feel the♥ dew,
♥On the other side of rose's,
I hurt from losing you♥
♥On the other side of rose's with broken dreams and tears,♥
♥Not a shadow of despair, to recall, the precious years,♥
Alive I seen a rose in you, and feel your memory true,
♥On the other side of rose's,
My life I shared with you♥
♥With petals gone to fade away, but leave sweet memories,♥
♥A velvet touch straight from the heart,
With love shown for me,♥
♥As shadows pass with setting sun,
There will forever be♥,
♥On the other side of rose's,
Your loving memory♥
♥ With love ♥

♥Sometimes♥
Sometimes, when the sun goes down,♥
It seems it will never rise again
...but it will!♥
♥Sometimes, when you feel alone,
It seems your heart will break in two
...but it won't.♥
♥And sometimes, it seems it's hardly worthwhile carrying on
...but it is♥.
♥For sometimes, when the sun goes down,
It seems it will never rise again,
But it does.♥
