About
About Zack
Zack was born on Mothers day on 11.05.2002, at Parklands Hospital in Durban.
He had blue eyes, blonde hair, a stocky build and a ready smile. He had lots of energy and was always into mischief. He had a thing for labels and would go to sleep with his blankets label and his thumb in his mouth.
He loved Winnie the Pooh, cars, his lego castle+ pirate boat, Scooby Doo DVDs and dinosaurs. He was alway busy and on the go.
He had an elder sister and brother : Jessica and Chad.
He was an easy going happy child.
Zack was about 18 old months when he had to wear glasses to correct a squint in one eye.
Zack was at creche when he started to run fevers on/off in Feb 06, he started to turn yellow on 01.03.06, we took him to the doctor + they thought that he had Hepatits, the tests came back negative + he was refered to a Paed, who did further tests, he was admitted to hospital on 11.03.06, where we were told that he has contracted a virus that had attacked his liver and he urgently required a liver transplant. We flew him down to the Red Cross Childrens Hospital in Cape Town, where he was put on an intensive course of anitbiotics, he was initially put on the transplant list but was later removed because the virus had spread to his lungs. We had an amazing day on the 27th of March where he seemed to be his old self and was playing and interacting with the people around him, unfortunatly his condition gradually worsened and he lapsed into a semi-comatose state and passed away on the 30th.
His passing has left an empty space in our lives. He is sorely missed.

MUM PLEASE LISTEN - Poem by Mikaela Elder
Chistine Mar 11, 2009
I see parents struggling daily, thier pain is such a fight..
All of us who've gone on before and left the rest of you behind
We're Ok, Mum, I promise Heaven is beautiful and God is Kind
You used to tell me that one day God would call and take you home,
You told me you'd make me strong so I would stand tall when alone.
But things happen, Mum, that does not go in our plans,
I wasnt scared Mum, when God held out his hand.
I didnt want to leave you, I didnt have time to say goodbye
when the Angels said "come with us" there wasnt time to question why.
I watched you daily, Mum, It hurts to see you cry,
I dont want you to be unhappy just because we didnt get to say good-bye.
Tell others what Im telling you, so many other parents need to know,
that Earth was just a layover we have another place to go.
I know you miss me Mum, I know your heart was broken in two,
but God really needed me because my earlthly life was through.
Im always alongside you ... I smile and touch your hair,
I whisper "I love you Mum", you just cant see me there.
Im the one who gently touches you on your shoulder when your'e sad,
Im happy that you have finally found God again, and that you're no longer mad.
Tell the parents, Mum, for me that all us kids are Okay.
God had plans for our lives when he called home that day.
I love you Mum, I always will and remember that Im not far away,
And we're going to be together again when God finally calls out your name.
With love
Your Angel.

Rest in peace little Zack.
