Lisa Ivana Short,passed away at 2.30am on the 15.June 2007 at the tender age of just 16.She lived at
home in Scotland with her Mum and two brothers Michael (14) and Cameron(5).SHE was just back at her
secondery School where she passed her exsams despite her illness and long time off school.
Lisa lost her 3 year battle with Cancer.She was first diagnosed with having Wilms tumour on 10th of
March 2004,despite her knowing how seriose this illness was she never complaint about the pain or
her feeling sick with treatment.
She underwent an operation to remove the rather large tumour and the left kidney , then indured a
year of chemotheraoy and radiotherapy to shrink the 6 smaler tumours in her liver and 3 small
tumours in her lungs.She came trough it with great bravery and in the summer of 2005 her hickmenline
was removed and she was fine.A year on i took the children to Greece on holiday to celebrate Lisas
great recovery,unfortunatly she became ill on Holiday we ignored it and had a fabules holiday on our
return Lisa was in pain so i took her to a doctor who sent us to hospital to get checked over,she
got a scan and it was revieled that the tumours where back,this time on her bowl and her chest
area.My heart sank ,she went for a biobsy the very next day and the 45 minute operation turned into
a 5 hour emergancy op. The tumour corsed internal bleeding,when she eventually came round and
realised she was in intensiv care she new it was not good,but she smiled at me and said \"I did
it once,I can do it again\"They managed to stop the bleeding and remove a large amount of the
tumour on her bowl.To the Staffs amazment and mine she was up and about in no time ready to face
more chemotherapy,having lost a lot of weight she had to pass a feeding tube through her nose and
did this on her own,because the Nurses would make her nose bleed,what a Girl.
In January 07 Lisa had to have stemcell treatment,she was very unwell for about 6 Weeks ,keept in
icolation where her brothers could only see her trough a glass window .Only a few nurses and mysel
where alowed near her to keep the risk of infection at a minimum,yet she never complained.In march
we where told she did it again and just before her 16th birthday the hickmenline was once again
removed.
She had a massive 16th birthdayparty on the 16th of april 07.
She was so happy and full of joy,so it came to a great shock to us when she got ill again only 10
days later,on the 24th of April 07 we where told that a new tumour has grown on the tissue that
holds her organs together and there was nothing they could do for her now.
Lisa just looked at me we cried a little then she said to me \"my time in hospital is
done\"
The next 6 weeks where the hardest any Mum Daughter and Siblings would ever have to face,but for
Lisa knowing she was going to die she lived live to the full and never complained ,she would make
sure that we knew how much she loves us and will miss us,we openly spoke about her funeral witch she
was very much in charge of and she left letters for me her two brothers and her best friend,also a
note on what she wanted to take with her to heaven and i was not to forget a blanket to keep her
cossy.
Lisa you are my insperation and i am now doing what i promised you i would do,training to become a
Nurse.
You are so sadly missed,we think about you every day and your bravery will never be forgotten.
Sleep tight my angel,your in no pain now and am sure you have meet up with all the other children we
got to know and lost wile you where ill.
Allways in my heart,Love you Mum ,Michael,Cameron and your Puppy Stitch xxxx
I cried when I read this. Lisa was such a great friend and an amazing person... she really didnt deserve this. The worst always happens to the nicest of people. I miss Lisa greatly and would do anythin to see her smile once more. To Lisa's mum, Your so brave and I think that training to be a nurse is a wonderful thing to do! Lisa will be so proud. x x x x x

A mothers Love
I feel sadness
Each day when I awake
I wish to god you could tell me
There has been a big mistake.
My child was taken
From her mothers love
To live with the angels
In heaven up above
I did not have her with me
For the time I should have had
No longer can I hold her
Which makes me very sad?
The pain of losing my child
Shows in every single tear
I spend each day missing you
Longing to have you near
Life for me is sadness
Without you by my side
My Broken shattered heart
Is very hard to hide
People tell me that time is a healer
That the pain will go away
They don’t understand
That this pain is here to stay
For when you lose a child
There is nothing that can compare
The bond we had at their birth
Will never leave, it’s always there
The love a mother has
Runs so very deep
That love is so special
It’s in her heart to keep
A mother’s heart is broken
She is ripped apart inside
There is a part of her missing
It left when her child died
So please don’t tell me to get over it
For this I can not do
Unless you understand my feelings
And this has happened to you
Only another mother who has lost a child
Can understand my pain
Because she also suffers daily
As the memories of her child remain
We are a band of mothers
Whose hearts will never heal?
For the loss of our children
Is for us, so very real.
Its an honour to leave a tribute to such a brave girl
God Bless you all
Love Cathy Nin to baby Leighton also on gts
Another amazing girl
I send you my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
I just had to aknowledge yet another brave youngster. With your Lisa and my Talisa we, as mums were so blessed to have known two wonderful girls,.... our girls,... our daughters.
People say they know what we go through when we loose a child but only parents/close family can really understand what it is like to loose someone so precious. I know that the times we all shared was so very, very special and we will carry on with their strength and their will helping us, knowing what our girls bravely faced. God bless you. x
