Born 25th November 1986

Died 2nd February 1987

Aged 10 Weeks



God saw you getting weary,

He did what he thought best,

He wrapped his arms around you,

And took you home to rest.



I was never given the chance to get to know you, I can only imagine what you would be like. Forever in my heart and will never be forgotten. No words can describe the pain I live each day wishing you were here beside me. Until we meet again sweetie!



As you play with angels day and night,

If only you could hear my plight,

To hold you in my arms and to once kiss you goodnight,

But that will never happen sis much to my hearts dismay,

All I know for sure is that we will meet again one day!



Until we meet again darling, night night xxxxxxxx

lots of cuddles and love your twin Amanda xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tia Lydia Short

Tia died aged 10 weeks and 1 day on November 6th 2003 due to SIDS.
A true little Angel, touched the hearts of those she met.
Our lives will never be the same.


A flower that was lent but not given,
to bud on earth but to bloom in heaven.

These are my footprints
so perfect and so small.
These tiny footprints,
Never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint,
For now I have my wings.
These tiny footprints were meant,
For other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints,
In the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel's tears,
Of joy and not from pain.

You will see my tiny footprints,
In each butterflies' lazy dance.
I'll let you know I'm with you
if you just give me a chance.

You will see my tiny footprints
in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind
and call each one that grieves.

Most of all, these tiny footprints
Are found on mummy's heart.
'Cause even though I'm gone now
we’ll NEVER truly part.

Missed by all but especially Mummy, Daddy and Big Sister Terri Louise xxx
Night Night

Mark Antony Joe James Childs
It's been 14 years since you left me and I still feel as alone as the day you went, I may have only been 6 when you left but it still hurts every second of every day, but I have made you proud I hope because I helped our mum though it all and I have overcome my fear of looking after young children, I'm now a nursery nurse, and you got me through every last bit of it. I love you sooooooooo much and I hope one day I will have kids as beautiful as what you are.

love your loving sister Michelle Childs

I'm sorry if I went on but I had to get it off my chest, just knowing someone's read it helps soooo much.

thanks

My brother James Haydon Bull was taken from us in 1990. We were given this poem which helped us through this tragic time and even now 13 years on he is still very much missed from the whole family.

I hope this can help other people as it has helped us.

Gods Lents Child

I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine, God said,
For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead,
It my be six or seven years, or forty-two or three,
But will you till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief
you'll always have his memories as a solace in your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've looked this whole world in my search for teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's lane I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love and not think labour vain,
Nor hate me when I came to take this lent child back again?
I fancy that I heard them say 'Dear God, Thy will be done,'
For all the joys this child will bring the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may
And for all the happiness we've ever known, we'll ever grateful stay.
But should the angels call him much sooner than we'd planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.

With Love from Kelly, your loving Big Sister 

................................................................


For our daughter Lora,
who was taken from us on the 2nd December 1981 at the age of 16 weeks.

WE THINK OF YOU IN SILENCE
WE OFTEN SPEAK YOUR NAME
BUT ALL WE HAVE TO REMEMBER
IS YOUR PHOTO IN A FRAME.

Tom, Yvonne, Clare, Andrew, Helen Gibson 


................................................................


For my little boy Josh



There is a special boy, up there in heaven above.
There will never be another with a heart so full of love,
And if our tears could build a staircase our memories could make a lane,
We'd walk straight up to heaven
And bring him again 

................................................................

We loved you so much my darling and miss you. Not a moment goes by without us thinking of you and how happy you made us in your short life.

Although we didn't get the chance
To take your tiny hand
And lead you through the child hood
Together we had planned
And though there really wasn't
Chance to show you all the love
Now sent to you abundantly
Borne upwards by the dove
Remember darling that
Your tiny heart must know
That we will always treasure you
And your memory will grow

The death of my brother

My first memory is the day my world collapsed, my brother born July 11th 1985 died. I cannot forget I was too young to go to the funeral, and I never said goodbye. It was the 25th October, any normal day until Dad found Mark Christopher not breathing. The last words I said before they got in the ambulance was "Don't forget to bring Mark home Daddy". He never did come home!

Mark I love and miss you and always will
In ever loving memory of
Mark Christopher Osborne
Born 11 July 1985

Never forgot always loved eternally yours,
your big sis,

Baby Neo Gerrard


“WISHING”
Your little lungs exhale “pure love”,
On that day you didn’t wake up.
My breath, my Heart , my Life Explodes,
“Wishing”
You was here for me to hold.
My Arms are empty, just fresh air
My Heart is Screaming,
Why doesn’t GOD care.
So sad the day, when soil covered skin,
No Pleading,
“Wishing”.
It wouldn’t be him.
My love, My life,
My Pride and Joy.
I want someone to tell me,
WHY MY LITTLE BOY.
WISHING
Neo in Heaven above Guiding “Mum and Dad”
With neverending Love.
Rest in Peace,

to be together again
With all our

we had in our lives for his short life
of our son Neo River Gerrard who passed away

Our little message to you dearest Neo River
is that you will eternally live deep in our hearts

Each day passes by we will miss you

Hi this is Sarah here is my story:


I had a scan at 20 weeks and found out I was carrying twins, a boy and a girl. I had a really bad pregnancy, in and out of hospital all the time. On the 11 June 2003 I was transferred to the Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester because I was contracting, I was 32 weeks. Nothing happened so I was sent home. Dorchester was 3 hours away from where I lived. At 34+1 weeks I was going to the toilet and I was leaking, I thought my waters had broken. It was 4 in the morning so at 7am I went to the hospital while my mum looked after the kids. When I got there they said my waters had broken and they had to transfer me again to Guildford which was about an hour away from where I lived. They had to do that as I have quick labours. When we got there I was put on a monitor then I went for a walk. About 23.15 I started having contractions so they had to do an emergency C section because the first baby (the girl) was breech. At 23.44 Elizabeth Cordelia Willow was born, and at 23.45 Bradley Cole was born. I stayed in Guildford for a week as they were in special care; they weighed 4lb 3oz and 4lb 15oz. I was then transferred back to my hospital and stayed in the special care unit for another week as they were being tube fed and breastfed. We went home on the 3rd of July because they were doing very well. On the 7th July I washed the twins and went to bed after feeding them. I put them down to bed for the night. I woke up in the morning at 6.15 and found Elizabeth just lying there with blood coming out of her nose. I shook her and there was no response. I shouted at my other 3 boys to get in their room as I didn’t want them to see, then I called my hubby to dial 999. He did and the people on the other end of the phone talked him through cpr. The ambulance arrived and she was rushed to hospital. I went with her with Bradley as I was feeding him at the time. We got to the hospital and they worked on her then my hubby arrived and they told us she died. We went in to the quiet room and had pictures taken of us and the boys with her. We then went up to the special care unit as I was up there for a long time before. The police came and questioned us but they said it wasn’t our fault but it was just routine to question us. We said goodbye to Elizabeth and I had to take Bradley to another hospital to get him checked over. He was there for 2 nights. They gave me apnoea alarm to put on him for when he came home. After the 2 nights he came home. The coroner told us she died of SIDS, as she was transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital and had a post mortem. We buried Elizabeth on the 17th July and it was a lovely ceremony. We also videoed it for Bradley when he’s older. Bradley is now 3 months old and has the alarm for a year and gets weighed once a week. The last time he was weighed he weighed 9lb 7 and a half.

Hi our name is Tony and Cindy O'Donnell, we had our son Reece.


He was born on 4th of august 2003 at 9.14p.m.
I went full term with him he was due on Thursday 7th
but he decided to come early he was born stillborn
and it broke my heart. I couldn't believe it. For the past
nine months all it had been was Reece this Reece that,
get this for Reece get that for Reece. He had been part
of our lives since his first scan. Our kids were so looking
forward to Reece, he had so much love around him and he
wouldn't have wanted for more. What they were and weren't
going to do for him, they had it all planned. We have 6
other kids and they all have been great over these past
tragic weeks. At Reece’s funeral Michael, our 13 year old boy,
and Kelsea, our 7 year old daughter, and Lee, our 15 year old cousin,
all got up and had their own say, it was very moving.
It's times like this that you ask yourself is there really a god
and if so why oh why has he taken our baby, our brother,
our cousin, our nephew, our grandson away from so many peoples' lives.
But then I look at our other six kids and think there must be a god
because these six kids are a miracle, all six of them, they all
have a lot of love and joy happiness, and it's only god
that can make these wonderful kids' lives happen,
so I tell myself god had his reasons to take our son,
maybe he was short of a angel.


Its hard to say goodbye to you ‘a baby that’s so small
It started with your scan picture that is still upon are wall
When I look at this picture and see you now
I’ve got one question and that is, how?

How can this happen to our baby so quick?
But there is one consolation you never got sick
I remember at night lying in bed
With all the excitement running through my head

I would feel a kick or maybe a dig
But I knew by this you were getting big
You were so much wanted and loved by us all
We had a list upon are wall

All the kids all six of them
Had a job written in pen
Kelsea was the first to sit him on her lap
Then came Jordan patting his back

Toni-lous first job was to give him a bath
Then one day we had to laugh
She said one day so innocently
Where’s the taps so we said ask Lee

Chantelle was going to be the first to have a picture with Reece
I just said yes for a bit of peace
She was so much looking forward to her baby brother
She would have been a little mother

Leah’s first job she was looking forward to this
It was to push him in his pram oh wouldn’t that be bliss
To have him just for one day
There are so many things we would have to say

And as for Michael he was giving him his first feed
This job to him was important indeed
He bought the first bottle from the local store
Oh Reece you wouldn’t have wanted for more

So there is one last thing to say to my son
Goodbye from me
and goodbye from your mum

Aged 8 weeks and 4 days


I fall asleep,
with my eyes wide open to see
where I go.

I see the stars in the sky,
telling me,
"There's a special place to go."

The angels in the clouds
sitting in lovely white gowns,
showing me the way to go.

I see Mummy and Daddy holding me close,
tears falling from their eyes
as I am sadly missed.

I shed my last tears
the night before I left you all;
as there is no more need,
I am safe and sound up here.

To see me again,
close your eyes and think of me,
playing our games as we did
with my friends and family.

And now I close my eyes tightly
and rest my little body;
I will lay on the clouds
and watch you all
till the next time we meet again.

We miss you lots Rhys
Sleep tight sweetpea.
lots of love

DAUGHTER

A tiny little fairy
So little and such fun
Is such a precious magical gift
As soon as I laid eyes on her
She seemed to spread delight
You know the kind of thing I mean
A sort of shining light
She represents what all mothers hold
So deep within their heart
The children that we love so much
And have right from the start

Tanya

Twelve years ago on this day,
A little girl was shown the way,
She came into our lives, and like a light,
She made our day seem so bright,

Life was great for this girl,
People came and went in a whirl,
With two sisters and a brother too,
This girl always had something to do.

Halloween came and went,
Life went by without a dent,
Christmas too was good for her,
Her fave present, a teddy bear.

Then on one January morn,
This girl who not long ago was born,
Took her last breath and went away,
In the beginning of the day.

God took her to be by his side,
While the rest of us sat down and cried,
For the little girl, 4 months old,
Had gone from our lives, feeling no cold.

We have never forgotten this girl so small,
And know that she isn’t dead at all,
But still living in our hearts, though not in our lives,
She watches us from the skies.

Written by her sister (then 15) on 13th September 2001
It would have been Tanya's 12th birthday

Thinking of you always darling
love from Mummy, Daddy, Martyn, Laura and Elizabeth 

................................................................

Euan, born 1 October 2002, died 6 March 2003.
Fell sound asleep and never woke up.

We still feel your finger nails clicking against ours for comfort
and we still hear your giggly gurgles
when the disco duck advert comes on.

We miss you desperately
Daddy and Lynne


"Against Lynne's soft bare arms
My son rests in white
Tempting all eyes
Deserving sunlight

A sweet greenness uncaught
On an unapparelled shore
He buries his feet
In a soft, tired floor

Belonging in calms
Of a distance unreached
Their sway of gold hair
Is flown on the beach

Then in a low careful breeze
That passes with ease
He breathes the ocean
The ocean breathes he

A tide is arriving
An infinitive fleet
Collectively stealing;
An impatient sheet

Will brake on the cool rocks
But dare them no harm
Die to hold him
In transparent arms."

It's nearly been a year now

Since you went away,

And they still can't tell us

Why you're not here today.



We miss you and we want you

We'd love to see you grown,

All laughs and smiles - and walking?

We'd hug you for our own.



Someday, our Summer Baby

Feet up! - enjoy the weather!

We'll cuddle in a deckchair

And we can be together.



Lots of love, baby Presh.

My baby died of Cot Death on July 06 2003,
he was aged just 3 weeks and 5 days.
I wrote a poem to remember him.

NATHAN BERRY
10.06.03 - 06.07.03

TO NATHAN LOVE MOMMY

You will always be my little boy
Till my very dying day,
The Love and Pride I feel for you
Will never go away.

I miss holding you in my arms
Or you lying on my chest,
Stroking your tiny angel face
Just watching while you rest.

Each day we spent together
You gave me so much joy,
No one could ever make me smile
Like my precious baby boy.

Then that night you went to sleep
And never woke again,
Now all I'm left is emptiness,
Loneliness and pain.

Each morning I wake up
I can't believe that you're not there,
I miss my baby son so much
The pain's too hard to bear.

I'll always Love You Nathan
Till the day I die,
But just remember that you'll always be
'Mommy's Little Boy'.

God Bless You Son. xxx

I lost a beautiful baby girl at five month of age.
It has been many years since this happened, but I still miss her terribly.

Nikki, Mommy misses you and loves you.
You will never be forgotten.
You will be in my heart forever and I will always be your mommy.
I know I will see you some day.

My daughter name was Nicole Lee Green,
she was 5 months old when I lost her to SIDS,
It was a complete shock. I had just had her to the doctor
for her check-up, and he said she was in perfect health,
then two weeks later, I received a phone call at work
to come to the hospital, I knew on the way to the hospital
that she was gone I just knew it.

God whispered I love you please come with me,
I'll show you the beauty, not all get to see.
Only the good and the true, see the sight,
take hold of my hand, come into the light.

God needed an angel, who's love was so true,
to tend to all his roses, his angel was you.
You'll always be with us, until our lives end,
because we are those roses, you care for and tend.

You would be nine on Sunday, but it seems only yesterday it was your first.
If only we could go back. It still hurts the same.
Keep shinning in the stars at night as your brother cameron(6)
and sister Corie Alice (17mnth) keep talking to you,
and blowing you big kisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We love miss you always.

My Perfect angel
Where do I start?
You were precious from the moment I knew
A six week old foetus
And I loved you
Twelve week Scan
It changed me forever
From then I knew you were perfect
Everything was good
Pregnancy, Labour, Breastfeeding

You were good to me
We didn't keep a special routine
Just what you wanted
You liked to be cuddled, me too
So for you my first child
To be taken away forever
So sudden
No explanation
No blame
Why?

I love you more than you will ever know
Anyone will know
Everyone looks at me with pity
That's not what I want
I had four fabulous months
Too short, but I'd never change it
Never
My most precious Baby
I love you

I "lost" my daughter in 1999, November 4, she was stillborn
due to having rhesus disease and edwards syndrome.
My name is Mandy Davidson, and Meghann is my 2nd child,
her older sister Claire misses her very much,
Chloe is to young to remember. It still feels like yesterday
that they broke the news that she had died,
it's like 'Groundhog day' you live the same day all the time.


I only held you for a short time,
Then God took you by the hand,
Why you had to go away,
I'll never understand.

There's not a day that passes,
That I don't live it all again,
It's a moment locked within my heart,
When I held you Meghann Jayne.

Wait for me in heaven,
Believe me I will come,
And once again I'll hold you,
I love and miss you, mum.


No 2

Sleep on my tiny angel,
wrapped safe within my heart,
I pray that you'll forgive me,
as we have to be apart,
each day I still remember you,
And reach to hold you hand.
I couldn't hold you close to me,
I hope you'll understand.
The only words I gave to you,
I whispered in a sigh,
"God keep you safe my baby,
For I had to say 'Goodbye'."

Aged 5 months and 4 days old.


You were my little man. I only got a short time to love you and care for you.

It was a great privilege to be your mommy.

I miss you so much, even now after all this time that has gone by.
There is not a day goes by that you are not in thoughts.

I love you more than words can say.
I will never know why God took you away from me so soon.

Until we meet again in Heaven

Love you always

Mommy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



God took you for his angel,

I did not question why,

He reached out his hand and took you,

and left me to cry.



Now you smile at me from heaven,

like a bright and shining star,

I can only wish and wonder,

and love you from afar.



I must leave you now in God's great hands,

my love to you I send,

and can only wait for the day to come,

when I'll see you once again.



God bless my little angel

All my love

Mommy

There's not a day goes by that I don't think about you son.
You were always my special little angel and I'm
so proud of you for fighting through the 12 weeks that
you lived for. You will always be in my heart, no
matter where I go I will always take your memory with me.

Love always and forever Mummy, Nanna,
Grandad and Aunty Emma.

XX Sleep tight little one XX



The hardest word I will ever know
Is having to say goodbye,
I don't feel able yet
To let you leave my side.
You were my little angel
From the moment you were born,
With your soft blue eyes, your silky touch
And a distinctive little yawn.
My heart feels so empty
Without you being here,
I know you were only twelve weeks old
But I miss having you near.
I can't even laugh at the memories
I only feel sad,
I'm sad at the world and sad for you
And I'm sad that I lost what I had.
All I want is one more day
To hold you close to me,
To cradle you and kiss you
With the thought that you'll never leave.
I will always, always love you
No matter where you are,
You'll be in my heart forever
Like the sun the moon and stars.

Alexander Theo
August 4th - August 20th 2000.

Our precious little boy.

Our love will never fade away,
You will be remembered forever,
Some days you feel like a distant memory,
But you are our boy,
Our first born,
Our first true love.

Now you have gone,
To a better place,
You had your calling,
And as we wait for ours,
We will never forget,
The love we shared together,
As a family.

We miss you Alex,
You are eternally in our thoughts,
We dream of you at night,
Teach your sister about you,
And remember and love you always.

Our precious little boy.

Now our guardian angel,
You protect us forever,
Guide your sister Esme through her life,
And forever stay with us.

For our precious little boy.
Alex you are remembered,
And will be remembered forever.

Night, night sweetheart.
Love Mummy, Daddy and Esme. xxx

4 days old.



Emily (Why)

A bright new star was needed in heaven up above,
So I was sent to visit, and you surrounded me with love.
I was such a perfect baby in every single way,
You really should have realised, that I wasn't here to stay.
And because I was so perfect, and cherished with such might,
You made me ready much too soon to be that star so bright.
So Mummy, Daddy and my Big Sis Lauren, please try not to be sad,
You had me for a little while, and for that I know you're glad.
No one will ever hurt me, no one will make me cry,
Now your perfect little baby has got to say goodbye.

Written by Emily's Nanna

The angels needed a new star
To shine so bright above
as they looked down on that Wednesday night
and saw Emily, wrapped up in all our love.
They didn't want to hurt us,
Or even make us cry,
And they are really very sorry
That Emily had to die.
But she was too perfect for our world,
With eyes so big and bright,
They came and took her home with them,
Our path she now will light.
So when each star does twinkle
Remember that a baby died
To bring us stars at night.
Our special star is Emily
Who we never can replace
But when we look up to the sky
We can almost see her face.

Night night sweetheart
Love you forever
Mummy. Daddy, big sister Lauren
and little sister Megan

Fell asleep 12-02-2003

We all miss you so so much! A second of every minute of every
day does not go by when we do not have you in our thoughts.
We all love you so much, no words can explain the way we feel.
Every day you get a visit from at least one of the people who love
you most. Your light shines so bright every evening. We all look at
your pretty, cute, cheeky face every day, you are so beautiful!

Love always and forever from Mummy, Daddy, Harry,
Nanny Theresa, Lin & Rene, Granddad Bill and Dave, Aunty Michelle,
and all other family who have your thoughts in their hearts!
Big hugs & lots of kisses xXx



Taken from us the wonder of your first word,
The footsteps that we never heard,
The laughter when you were at play,
The tears you cried some other day.
Taken from us that shining light,
Now a star burning bright,
Time heals the pain, but oh so slowly,
We will never forget you darling Chloe. 

................................................................


In loving memory of my daughter Keeley Shannon Dixon
Age 5 months old fell asleep 26 October 1995.
Too beautiful and precious to forget. While others sleep at night
I lie awake and think, with tears down my cheek.
I cry because I love you, I cry because I care,
I cry because when I wake up you are never there.

Also remembering my nephew Callagan James Armstrong
died 8 October 2000 age 6 weeks. 

................................................................


I lost my baby daughter on 7 February 2001,
she was 6 months old to the day.
She was and still is the most precious thing in my life.
I just had another baby girl in December 2002
and she is the spitting image of her sister.
I still miss her sister deeply.
I find comfort in having her photos around the house
and do not feel that I have to visit her grave to speak to her,
I can speak to her anytime.
We have moved house since losing her
but I still feel her around me all the time.

Her grave stone is very simple and has the verse:
A flower that was lent but not given,
to bud on earth but to bloom in heaven. 

................................................................


Michael Philip Barnard
was born on 16th September 1987
and died of cot death on the 22nd September 1987.
As other parents here have said, part of me died on that day,
I think about him every day. I would like to say:

You have a brother, who is only 9 months younger than you,
but he is not a replacement. We said we would have two children and we did.
Mammy and Daddy still miss you terribly.
I, your Mammy, feel like there is a big black hole in my soul,
which won't heal until I see you again in heaven. 

................................................................


Steven King 13.5.80 - 26.9.80

My son passed away from cot death 22 years ago,
the pain never stops you just learn to live with the pain in your heart.
You have 3 nieces you would have loved.

A Tiny Flower

A tiny flower
Lent, not given
To bud on earth and
Bloom in heaven

Sleep well my son till we meet again
Love you always
Mummy

A PERFECT LITTLE CHILD

A perfect little child born so pure and sweet
Came to us, for us to treat,
You came with lots of love to give
And made a happy home to live.

You came when times were very bad
And people around were so very sad,
Then Alex, you arrived with love to share
And we all loved you with tender care.

Now that the time has came for you to go
To a place high above, to look down on us below,
Now in Gods hands we let you go
With the love in our hearts that will surely grow.

A perfect little child has died so pure and sweet
Has gone to Heaven to live on high,
A perfect place for a child so sweet
And one day again we'll meet there on high.

For our little Angel Alexandra Kirsten Lilley
All our love Nannie and Grandad Lilley

SIDS took our baby away


Whisper In the Night

An angel whispered in my ear,
To let me know that he is near.
He told me I would be ok,
That we will meet again another day.
But until that day I must be strong,
And find a way to carry on.
That in my heart he will always be,
And in my mind, sweet memories.
He promised to always keep me safe,
And told me to hold on to faith.
I know he is always by my side,
Helping me along this bumpy ride.
He says each night he sees me cry,
And wishes he could answer all my how’s and why's.
He wants me never to feel alone,
He is with me though he can not be shown.
That whisper ended with a kiss,
That angel was my baby, forever missed.

By Ashley Beck
Mommy and Daddy miss you so very much little man.
Keep us strong.

Matteo Lee Herndon
10/30/02 - 01/13/03

A million times we've needed you
A million times we've cried,
If love alone could have saved you
Then you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place
No one else will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

Matteo died of SIDS on January 13, 2003.
My son was almost 15 pounds, he was just 2 1/2 months old...
he was a happy baby. When he died I went crazy!!!!!!!!
I know you are here Matteo... I will keep your favourite
toy on so you can play with it!!!!
Love, Mommy

Matteo Lee Herndon was born on October 30, 2002,

My little angel was only 2 1/2 months old.

I am not sure if it was SIDS because
I haven't heard from the coroner yet.
Matteo weighed 12 pounds and 2 ounces,
he was 23 1/2 inches long.

My baby was so adorable.
My little angel is in Heaven now.

Nathan John Darius Walker.
Born 6th Aug 1996, Died 27th Dec 1996.

He was a victim of SIDS.


I found out that I was pregnant 2 weeks after I turned 21,
I couldn't believe it, we were thrilled that my older son
Michael Jason, aged 18 months, would have a brother/sister.

Everything was going fantastically until I went into labour at 30 weeks,
he was born at 04:50 am on the 6th of August 1996 by C/section
and spent 2 weeks in an incubator at the Leicester City General Hospital.

He came home at 5 weeks old small but healthy, we were so happy,
we thought every thing was going to be alright now.
We had Christmas as a family and spent boxing day with my parents,
we got up the next morning and that's when my life fell apart.
We found that Nathan had died at some point
between am and 7 am when we got up.

He was everything to me as is my other son.
I now have a little girl called Hannah Nicole.
He will never be replaced, he's gone from us but not forgotten.
This photo was taken the day before he died.

I love you my sweet Nathan,
the time you spent with me will always be cherished.
I'll love you always my darling baby boy.

In our hearts you will always be there
every day we think of you our precious son,
now you are not here to grow up
with your two brothers Michael and Liam.

Life is not the same without you.
All our love Mum, Dad and your brothers.

Blessings
You were born in May
You brought happiness and joy
When people looked at you they said "what a beautiful boy"
Your eyes glistened with a hopeful light
You were determined to win every fight
Your courage and strength gave us power to go on
After you left us without any warning
Memory of your smile brings back tears
The smile won't be forgotten after any amount of years
Your body may have been buried
But never will be your soul
You can't bury good and bad memories in an underground hole
You're an inspiration to all you met
Young and old will never forget
The boy who was a hero in his own way
One who strived for life and happiness every day

Emily Jane Parker
Born 16th march 1990
Died 8th May 1990 age 7 1/2 weeks

Our tribute goes to a very special baby girl who was part of our lives
for such a short time, but has changed our lives forever.
Emily is daily in our thoughts, but not all sad.
Mostly now are of gratitude for having her on sadly borrowed time,
and for a little person who in her short life taught us
what is really important in life.

May God bless you Emily, your short life
has enriched your family's beyond belief.

Sweet dreams little baby
