ANARE & PAUL MUIRHEAD

1 Royal Irish Regiment

27 years old


Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion the Royal Irish Regiment, Lt Col Michael McGovern, today, 2
September 2006, paid tribute to Ranger Draiva:

Ranger Draiva was a superb, strong and courageous soldier. He performed brilliantly well in his
recent tour of Southern Iraq and was one of the first to volunteer for the tour of Afghanistan.

His contribution in Helmand province in extremely challenging conditions has been second to none and
those that know Draiva will not be surprised that he was killed in action, in the face of the enemy,
defending his comrades and base.

His death has been received with real sadness by his colleagues in Afghanistan and the rest of the
battalion at Fort George, near Inverness.

On learning of the death of Ranger Draiva, Defence Secretary Des Browne said:

I wish to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ranger Anare Draiva. My
thoughts are with them and those of the other solider injured in the same incident.

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
ჱܓ

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

Letter From Heaven.xxx

The Final Flight

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too, I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

To love is to never forget,
To never forget is to have memories,
To have memories makes us smile,
To smile is to feel happiness,
To feel happiness is to think of our loved ones,
And never forget.

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.
♥ღ♥

...WHY........ wrote by irene carson 8/3/09

WHY ? why did you have to go
leave me here in pain like so
WHY ? why did you leave
leave me here in pain and to grieve
WHY ? why did god take you
leave me here sad and blue
WHY ? why did you die
leaving me here alone to cry
WHY ? why did you not stay
leaving me here alone to pray
WHY ? why did you go so fast
leaving me here,looking at the past
WHY ? why did you go
i need you and love you so
WHY ?why did you not stay
leaving me here,as you went on your way
WHY ? why did you get your wings and fly
WHY OH WHY ? did you have to die
