Warm feet for Fred

0 Comments | This entry was posted on Dec 07 2010

The year before last Fred’s Mum was aware that he wasn’t sleeping well and seemed to be in pain. Watching him carefully she could see it was something to do with his feet. A visit to the shoe shop confirmed that his shoes were the right size. What was the problem?  Unable to guess what it was she took him to the doctor. He said that poor Fred had the worst case of chilblains he had ever seen – almost frostbite. Every Time his feet warmed up he was in agony. He had not been able to tell his Mum that he was cold in his wellies when he was outside, despite warm socks and clothes.

That year The Celtic Sheepskin company came to Fred’s rescue and sent him a free pair of cosy sheepskin waterproof boots. Well Fred is a growing like every other little boy and has finally outgrown the boots. His mother was dreading this very cold weather was going to give him chilblains again, but The Celtic Sheepskin company have again come to the rescue and sent Fred another pair of cosy boots.

The Celtic Sheepskin company is a British firm based in Cornwall. Please take every opportunity to tell everyone you know about how kind they have been, and buy your boots from them!

 he is the most

beautiful

man in the

world.

 

when he laughs

i am happy

for him

when he sleeps

i am happy

for him

when he hugs

his mum and dad

i am happy

for them.

 

a stranger

may not see that

he is the most

beautiful

man in the

world.

 

to us

the world is

confusing

but to him

it is like

clouds

on a clear day

or blue sky

when it should be

grey.

 

his mum sits

on the sofa

crying

she is tired

because her son is

alone

not from lack of

love

but because his

burden

is to be

alone.

 

to be the most

beautiful

man in the

world

you must be

alone.

 

 his brother Victor

loves him

his brother cares

for him

when he cries

Victor says

mum

dad

Stanley is

crying

he cares for his

brother

he loves him

dearly.

 

to suffer this

a punishment

the rewards must be

great

a reward

unseen.

 

the boy

on his dads back

is the most

beautiful

boy in the

world.

 

sometimes you feel

that you want

to get

hold of him

to squeeze him

to squeeze him

so tight

that you might

squeeze out

of him his

condition

 

but this may also

squeeze out his

beauty

 

for he is the most

beautiful

man in the

world.
