My Story ... My Vision
The Rat Man
My Story ...My Vision
Can't Believe what Happened
I can't believe its true.
How a friend on facebook
brought back my memories of you.
The Original Picture
Just Added My Name & A Frame
Original Still On My Computer Untouched
I Added My Rhyme
Put It On Face Book
All I Could See At This Time
Was A Row Off Little Ducks
Till Dawndy Pointed Out To Me
What She Could See
So I Just Took
A Closer Look
Oh No
A Story I Could See
Unfolding To Me
In This Picture I See...
A Man Falling Wearing A Hat
I Can See Him Holding His Boat With His Hands
His Legs Either Side
I Can See A Key To The Left Of The Falling Man
Pictures Edited From Original
Follow The Picture Down Where I See A Skeleton
Move To The Right Of The Skeleton
I Then See A Face Of A Man Being Pulled Up
By The Grim Reaper A Dark Figurine Who's Arms In The Air Holding A Scythe
This Leads Me On To The Arm Of A Ghost
Who's Holding The Mans Hair
Follow The Arm Down This Makes A Loop
(Look In Side This Closely A Vision I See that Of A Lady )
Follow The Loop Around
Now The Head And Face Of A Ghost Appear
Follow The Head Down
On The Ghosts Right Shoulder I Can See A Begging Rat
The Ghosts Other Arm Makes A Serpent Looking At The Rat
On The Serpents Back There Is A Hat
Within The Ghosts White Body Is A Cross In His Heart
While Down In His Cloak
I See A Headless Body
Similar To A Egyptian Cave Drawing
Other Images I See Above The Ghosts Head
A Bottle Shaped Hallo ..
With A Sad Face
Then Steps Leading Upwards
This Is What I See ...
Some Facts That You Should Know ...
About
The Rat Man
3rd Feb 2009
He Fell From His Boat
:http://
:http://
On This Same Stretch Of Canal
While Changing His Gas Bottles
That Are Chained To The Boat With A Key
He Used To Catch Rats And Had A Rat Trap
And In The Coroners Report
http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Accidental-death-verdict-man-falls-canal/story-11570651-detail/story.html
A Tragic Accident
Taken Back By What I Saw
I Had To Make A Blog
Maybe Gone
But Not Forgotton
But Chose Me To Live On
We Called Him
The Rat Man
We Never Knew His Name
For We Only Ever Met Him As We Walked By With Inca
And He Chatted As We Passed
Reminding Inca To Beware Of The Rat Trap
One Day We Saw Him
He Travelled Alone With His Two Dogs
We Met Him As We Sailed Our Boat
We Helped Him Through A Lock
....
So Having Heard The Tragic News
The Rat Man
Drowned In The Frozen Canal
Trying To Change His Gas Fell Of His Boat
I Felt Touched And Wrote Him A Poem
Laminated It So People Could See
He Didn't Die In Vain
We Took A Primrose Bowl &Bulbs
And
We Went Down That freezing Day
On The Bench I Tied The Poem
Placed The Bulbs Beside
There Was Only One Other Floral Tribute
It Made Us Feel Quiet Sad And We Cried ;(x
A Wooden Cross On The Other Bank
Read ... RIP Des Hutton
We Went Back To Walk Inca Two Weeks Later
My Poem Still Hanging There
Floral Tribute Gone
My Bowl Of Bulbs
Placed The Other Side The Canal
Next To The Cross
Don't Know Who Moved Them
Don't Know Who Cared
I Took Down My Poem
And Brought It Home With Me
Gone But Not Forgotten x
I Don't Know Why
But I Had Kept
The Newspaper Cuttings from That Day
Along With My Poem
Hidden Away
Is This Why 3 yrs On
Almost To That Day
A Vision Came
Back To Me
His Memory Will Last
Through My Story To You
R.I.P
Now You Have Heard My Story
Can You Please Tell Me What You See ?
Our Tribute To Des ... The Rat Man

Dawny
this was jsut a normal picture my mum took about 6 months ago, I am not
sure what made her post it to facebook the other day, but she did not
see the man until you pointed him out, then after you did it become so
obvious he was there, my dad looked and
instantly said oh its the rat man... now the rat man was a man who lived
on a canal boat, mum and dad spoke to him as they passed they called
him the rat man because he would catch rats and lend out his trap to
fellow boater, he was not a close friend and so mum and dad din't know
his real name, but then on 3rd of febuary he sadly lost his life, he was
trying to change his gas canister and somehow slipped this is a link to
the story reported locally:http://
www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk
A WOMAN who found her friend's body in a canal has paid tribute to him, calling him a "loveable rogue". Jackie Orton discovered Desmond Hutton in the Trent and Mersey canal at Willington...

hello everyone.
ReplyDeletemy name is chris,im des huttons son.

its so nice to see people talking about him sill.
i miss him very much.
thanks
chris
Hello Chris, its Liz Daughter Sarah here, thanks for taking the time to comment on my mums blog post she thinks of Des often yet we knew so little about him.
DeleteWhen we saw the face in the water it reminded her of your dad instantly. I am so glad you found this post. Happy Birthday Des you are in our thoughts x
Hiya Sarah.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to know people still think about my dad. Course I still think of him every day and miss him so very much
He was a fantastic farther to me and my brother James. I think he just lost his way in the last couple of years of his life but from what I have from people that knew him before he died he was getting back to the old dad that we loved very much. He dedicated his life looking after myself James and my mum kath.
Its so nice to know that he wasn't on his own and he had lovely people like your mum that took the time to speak to him. Thank her so much for that please.
The boater community is a lovely one and there is normally someone on the canals who will say hello :) This blog post is abit of a confussing one as my mum tried to explain the story of how she knew your dad and of his passing after a friend saw a face in the water of a photo my mum had took along the strecth of canal I also wrote about it on my blog here: http://thisisme-sarahmumof3.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/tribute-after-tragedy.html I do hope you don't mind us doing so, if of course you'd rather these posts not be live on the internet then please do just say, if you would like to email myself or my mum then please feel free my mums email address is shalloweir@aol.com and mine is sarahdazjc@aol.com Take Care x
