Harrison was my first born son. I found it hard when i first realised i was pregnant and wondered how i would cope with a child. But as my belly grew and he started moving i developed a bond only a mother would understand.
I named him 'Harry' after the 20week scan and started to get really excited about holding him and watching him grow up. He used to keep me awake at night by really doing summersaults and i had the worst heartburn.
I sailed through pregnancy. Never in a million years do you belive that your baby is going to die.
He had such a personality through pregnancy - not liking anything touching his belly and always making me need dairy products to cure the heartburn Gaviscon couldnt.
I remember when he was born he had so much hair - really dark and curly, and the biggest feet you will have ever seen on a baby!
Harry to me means everything and even though i only got a few hours with him it was the most loving time in my life and i will never forget how heavy he felt or lovely he smelt or how soft his skin was.
Harrys Story
My due date was July 21st 2008 and my waters broke on sun 20th july around 8pm. I was watching Knocked Up - how ironic. My contractions didnt start until 8am on the monday. I went to hospital around lunch after already been twice the previous weekend for bleeding and possible waters breaking. They examined me and confirmed this time i was in labour.
I have never known a pain like the contractions of labour but it is true what they say - it is very much worth it even with how things turned out for me.
My labour progressed quickly until i had pain relief, which slowed my labour down dramatically. I was really sick during labour not able to keep down fluids or eat so i tired really quickly.
Towards the end of my pregnancy the midwife thought he was back to back and could never pinpoint his heart.
I pushed and pushed for nearly 3hours as he was back to back it was very difficult and finally with the help of a doctor he was born 22nd July at 00.18am.
After then everything went into a blur and time just kept on ticking and ticking. He still didnt breathe and it was heartbreakingly scary to hear them trying to resuscitate him.
My partner Phil was fantastic all the way through and is still helping me so much now. We had planned to go camping with Harry and our dogs, to stoll down the canal towpath and have a quite first christmas with our special one. New plans are hard to make. We both cherish the little time we had before it was painfully snatched away.
Harry had a birth defect - looked like a sleeping angel on the outside but internally his lungs were not strong enough due to an Undiagnosed Diaphramatic Hernia. A condition that should have been picked up on the 20wk scan.
He lived 2hrs and 22mins and i never got to see him alive, but those hours after holding my baby are the most precious memories i hold.
Goodnight god bless our sweet and precious angel in the sky. Mummy and daddy miss you more than you will ever know.Our love always and forever x x x

FOR FRIDAY
Their Journey
Don't think of them as gone away
There journey's just begun,
Life hold so many facets
This earth is only one.
Just think of them as resting
From all sorrow and all tears,
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days or years.
Think how they must be wishing
That we could know today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of them as living
In the hearts of those they touched,
For nothing loved is ever lost
And they were loved so much.
FOR SATURDAY
The Way We Feel
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time or reason,
Will change the way we feel
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
We have broken down and cried
We want to tell you something
So there won’t be any doubt
Your so wonderful to think of
But so hard to live without
So shine on us sweet angel
Until we meet again
Knowing the love we have for you
Is never going to end.
FOR SUNDAY
A Walk With You
I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile

FOR MONDAY
Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.
FOR TUESDAY
We who love you, sadly miss you,
As it dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking,
Thoughts of you are ever near.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories they left behind.
FOR THURSDAY
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
FOR FRIDAY
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
FOR SATURDAY
I thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too,
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.
FOR SUNDAY
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.

Memories Of Me
I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done..
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave behind
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
Separated For Now
Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this candle be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
FOR SUNDAY
A Special Gift
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

Love Lives On
Those we love
Are never really lost to us –
We feel them
In so many special ways-
Through friends
They always cared about
And dreams they left behind,
In beauty that they added to our days...
In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

FOR SATURDAY
If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.
Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR SUNDAY
Still With Us
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Harrison"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Son of yours.

Smile
Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through…for you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just…smile.
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just… smile. Smile!
Music by Charlie Chaplin
I Carry Your Heart With Me
I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my Darling)
I fear no fate
(for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful, you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows;
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart:
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart).
By E E Cummings.
Alternative Mothers Day
Another Mother's Day,
But a different one this year.
For you see, I am a Mother,
But my child isn't here.
I am a Mother who is hurting
For this child who was so dear,
As I face this and other occasions,
Each and every year.
I am a Mother who feels an emptiness
Over and over again,
Because I miss this child
And all that could have been.
I am a Mother who cared
As I watched my child grow,
And truly loved him more
Than anyone will ever know.
I am a Mother who has memories
And many tears to cry,
Over regrets I'll have to live with
Until the day I die.
I am a Mother who is thankful
For the miracle of birth
And all my child has taught me
About life and my own self-worth.
I just can't stop being a Mother
Just because my child isn't here,
Because the love we had for each other
Will continue for years and years.
And so on this special "Mother's Day",
I will feel within my heart
All the pride, love and joy
Which are the parts,
That make me who I am,
And that I'll always be -
A Mother,
Just remember that please
Mothering Sunday
MOTHERS DAY MESSAGE
A kiss to you on Mother’s Day, a hug from me to you.
I know that you are sad sometimes, I know that you are blue.
Please wipe away that tear, put on a happy face,
For I am with God in heaven now, Oh Mummy, what a wonderful place.
God gave me wings so I could fly, they are white, with a hint of blue.
I’m a big boy, Mummy, with these wings of mine.
They carry me down to visit you.
God is teaching me how to catch your prayers.
Prayers that come as wishes, your wish is the same everyday,
A wish that I could have stayed.
I have a prayer for you now Mummy, I pray that you will hear.
God needed me here with him, I have no pain or fear.
For I am an Angel now you see, I watch over you each night and day.
A little piece of heaven on earth, guiding you on your way.
I come to tuck you in each night, as you wanted to do with me.
I hear your prayers, and kiss your cheek, then I watch you dream.
Before I leave, and go back home, I look at you and sigh,
As I fly back to heaven, I sing you a lullaby.
A kiss to you on Mother’s Day, a hug from me to you,
I love you Mummy, please don’t cry, you’ll get to hold me soon.
WHAT MAKES A MOTHER?
I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today,
I asked what makes a Mother and I know I heard him say.
A Mother has a baby, this we know is true,
But God can you be a Mother, when your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can, he replied with confidence in his voice,
I give many women babies, when they leave it’s not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime and others for a day,
And some I send to feel your womb but there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand God I want my baby here!
He took a breath and cleared his throat and then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you what your child is doing today,
If you could see your child smile with other children and say...
We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear,
My Mummy loved me oh so much, I got to come right here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mum who had so much love for me,
I learned my lesson very quickly, and My Mummy set me free.
I miss my Mummy oh so much but I visit her each day,
When she goes to sleep, on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear,
Mummy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here.
So you see my dear sweet one your children are ok,
Your babies are in my home and this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with me until your lesson there is through,
And on the day that you come home, they'll be at the gates for you.
So now you see what makes a Mother, it's the feeling in your heart,
It's the love you had so much of, right from the very start.
Though some on earth my not realize until their time is done
Remember all the love you have and know that you are a special Mum!
