(LOVING SON OF DAVID AND SAMANTHA LOVING BROTHER OF NANCY AND ARTHUR)(Tory Leader David Cameron's
Son Has Died)Condolences have been paid to Tory leader David Cameron following the death of his
six-year-old disabled son Ivan.
Ivan, who suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, was taken ill overnight and died at St
Mary's Hospital, Paddington, early this morning, a Tory party spokesman announced.
Ivan, who featured in a family Christmas card sent by the Camerons last year, was their first child
and was in and out of hospitals all of his life.
He was born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London on April 8, 2002. On learning of his son's
illness, Mr Cameron has said in the past: "It hits you like a freight train because all the
expectations you have for your child change immediately.Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha have two
other children, Nancy, five, and Arthur, three.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown led condolences following the death, saying the loss of a child was
something "no parent should have to bear".
The Queen has sent a private message of sympathy to the Camerons, and in the House of Commons, the
Prime Minister, whose own baby daughter died in 2002, expressed his condolences.
ow that the whole House will want to express our sorrow at the sad death this morning of Ivan
Cameron, at the age of just six years old and our condolences go out to David Cameron, to Samantha
and to the Cameron family," he said.
"I know that in his all-too-brief young life, he brought joy to all those around him, and I know
also that for all the days of his life, he was surrounded by his family's love.
"Every child is precious and irreplaceable.
"And the death of a child is an unbearable sorrow that no parent should ever have to endure.
"Politics can sometimes divide us, but there is a common human bond that unites us in sympathy and
compassion in times of trial, and in support for each other, at times of grief."
The Prime Minister has also written to the Camerons.
William Hague, shadow foreign secretary, said: "I want to thank the Prime Minister on, behalf of
David and his family, for his very generous and, I know, heartfelt words and for his private
condolences that he has passed on this morning.
"The Prime Minister will understand the dimensions of this loss, something which no parent, as he
has said, should have to endure.
"The six years of Ivan Cameron's life were not easy, his parents lived with the knowledge that he
could die young, but this has made their loss no less heartbreaking.
"They also wanted me to say once again how hugely grateful they are to the many many NHS and care
workers who not only did their utmost for their son this morning, but have helped him, every day,
from the moment he was born."
Acting Lib Dem leader Vince Cable said to MPs: "On behalf of my party leader, my parliamentary
colleagues and my party, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the David Cameron family.
"I think that everyone in the house has experienced bereavement, but there is something especially
sad and shocking about the loss of a child and we recognise, I think, that this is something that is
especially difficult to cope with."
Mr Cameron will take up to a fortnight off work. Mr Hague will stand in for him as Tory leader.
Professor Stephen Smith from St Mary's Hospital confirmed Ivan died at 6:30am.
"He suffered from a severe, complex neurological disability and was taken in overnight," he said.
"He has been a patient at this hospital for some time, and is well known to members of staff.
"Our deepest sympathies are with David, Samantha and their family at the saddest of times."
Sky's political correspondent Joey Jones said: "It has been well known that Ivan has been extremely
ill for most of his life but this will come as a devastating shock for David Cameron and his
family.
"I think that everyone across the political spectrum will share in the sadness of this news."
Sky's health correspondent Thomas Moore said: "Cerebral palsy in itself is not a degenerative
condition, you do not die of cerebral palsy.
"There may have been other factors like epilepsy that may have caused his death."
Mr Cameron is a vice president at the National Centre for Young People with Epilepsy (NCYPE).
NCYPE chief executive David Ford said: "We are very saddened to hear this news.
"We express our deepest sympathy to David and Samantha Cameron and their family."
Ivan was the Camerons' first child, born at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London on April 8, 2002.
He suffered his first seizure within weeks and was in and out of hospitals all of his life.
On learning of his son's illness, Mr Cameron has said in the past: "It hits you like a freight train
because all the expectations you have for your child change immediately."
They have two other children, Nancy, five, and Arthur, three.
Friends have previously attributed Mr Cameron's "modernising" leadership of the Conservatives to the
NHS care Ivan received.
"I know that in his all-too-brief young life, he brought joy to all those around him, and I know
also that for all the days of his life, he was surrounded by his family's love.
"Every child is precious and irreplaceable.
"And the death of a child is an unbearable sorrow that no parent should ever have to endure.

Trying to cope..

My heart is broken..
So that goes to show
I can't except you are gone

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in our shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let us shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
So we were the ones with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did you ever know that you're our hero,
and everything we would like to be?
We can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but we've got it all here in our hearts.
We want you to know we know the truth, of course we know it.
We would be nothing without you,
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did you ever know that you're our hero?
You're everything we wish we could be.
we could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Did we ever tell you you're our hero?
You're everything, everything we wish we could be.
Oh, and we, we could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath our wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath our wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let us fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath our wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath our wings.
♥..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..**..♥
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high we almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath our wings.

NIGHT NIGHT SWEETHEART, SWEET DREAMS. X
GOD CALLED YOUR NAME SO GENTLY
THAT ONLY YOU COULD HEAR
NO ONE HEARD THE FOOTSTEPS
OF A ANGEL DRAWING NEAR
SOFTLY FROM THE SHADOWS
THERE CAME A GENTLE CALL
YOU CLOSED YOUR EYES AND WENT TO SLEEP
AND QUITLY LEFT US ALL
ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU
ALL MY LOVE ANNE xxx
I DONT WANT DIAMONDS
I DONT WANT GOLD
ALL I WANT IS YOU TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
I WANT YOU SO BAD TO BE BY MY SIDE
SO I DONT HAVE TO KEEP MY FEELING LOCKED INSIDE
INSIDE MY HEART WHERE NO-ONE CAN SEE
I SO WANT YOU TO BE PART OF ME
TO BE BY MY SIDE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
KEEP ME SAFE AND KEEP ME STRONG
I WANT TO BE HERE FOR YOU TOO
TO SHARE PRECOIUS MOMENTS THAT MUCH IS TRUE
TO GIVE YOU LOVE ALL YOUR HEART CAN HOLD
THAT TO ME IS BETTER THAN DIAMONDS OR GOLD

The angel came down to earth
And gave me some angel wings

I look down on my family
And watch them day by day
I know my family need me
But I am so far away

I know you are asking
Where did you go wrong
And why does it hurt so much

But please understand my family
You are still very dear to my heart

Mummy
Mummy I know you love me and mummy I know you care,
Mummy I know how sad you are and can see all your tears,
Mummy I know how much you wanted me and forever hold me tight,
Mummy just look at the night sky and find the star so bright,
Mummy I am with you every step along the way,
Mummy you will see me again and then we will play,
Mummy please remember God only takes the best,
So Mummy he took me to among the rest,
mummy I know it is hard for you and I love you so,
But Mummy please know there is a special place that all Baby Angels go to,
So Mummy try and smile for me and let your love remain,
For one day when the time is right,we will be together again.
