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

Candles are a gift of light
A tiny sun
A bit of star.
No other dancer in the night
Dances with such sheer delight
Each a glimpse of what we are
Shining innocent and pure.
Love to you and all your family precious angel xxxx
Life's A Climb - Miley Cyrus
I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
there's a voice inside of my head, tellin' me
"you'll never reach it"
every step I'm takin'
every move I make
feels lost in no direction,
my faith is shakin'
but I gotta keep tryin'
gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb
The struggles I'm facing
the changes I'm taking
sometimes they knock me down, but
no I'm not breaking
I may not know where, but
these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
just keep pushing on, but
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
always gonna be an uphill battle
sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
ain't about how fast I get there
ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
it's a climb
Keep on movin'
keep climbin'
keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
the climb
keep the faith, keep your faith!
My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
***********
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
***********
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
***********
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...
***********
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
***********
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
**********
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...
A Mother's Love
I didn’t have to look into your eyes
To fall in love with you.
I didn’t have to hear you cry
To know you loved me too.
I didn’t need to hold your hand
To cherish you always.
Within my womb we shared our hearts
You touched my soul
You sweetened my spirit
You gave me memories I’ll always
Hold very dear
Yes, my heart aches since
You departed so soon
But a mothers love does not
End with death
For you are my child
my love is forever yours.
Live For Me
If I could, I would tell you that I love you
And that I chose to spend the time I had with you.
If I could, I would tell you that you are not to blame
For all was written in the stars, so long ago.
If I could I would tell you that I love you
And just how much our time together meant to me;
How I remember every kiss, and the loving arms that held me
And in my memory, I beg of you, please don't forget to live!
LIVE FOR ME! Don't take a moment for granted
Every breath you take and every friend you make is a precious, precious gift.
LIVE FOR ME! Open up your heart and let the people that surround you
Help you love again - LOVE and LIVE for me!
If I could, I would tell you that I love you
And I remember every precious moment shared.
I would ask you to release any pain that still remains
And fill your heart with peace and love for you and me.
If I could, I would tell you that I love you
I would hold your hand and tell you that I am fine.
Cause here I play with the angels, and I even dance with God among the stars
And the love and light I feel is all I need!
LIVE FOR ME! Don't take a moment for granted
Every breath you take and every friend you make is a precious, precious gift.
LIVE FOR ME! Open up your heart and let the people that surround you
Help you love again - LOVE and LIVE for me!!!
Forgive yourself and love yourself and
Love all those around you; in memory of me.
LIVE FOR ME! Your life is a gift of mine as much as it is yours
So please, please, LIVE and LOVE for Me!
I Shall Remember You
I shall remember you for as long
as there are fields of snow
And there are flowers in the ground
with strength to grow.
As long as there are stars above
and moonbeams on the sea,
And just as long as there are songs
of love and memory.
I shall remember you today
and dreams of you tonight,
And look for you tomorrow when
the sun begins to light.
Whatever season, month or year
this much will be the same,
The special sound of joy will be
the mention of your name.
I shall remember you for as long
as there are earth and sky.
And all eternity
may it take to say goodbye.
♥ღ♥ A Last Goodbye ♥ღ♥
Though happily each year began
I had to die whilst very young
It is so long since our last touch
And I miss your presence there so much
Of many things I needed to learn
So to this place God made me turn
Yet with so many things to do
I have taken this moment to speak to you
The life that was, was not to be mine
Yet within this world it has worked out fine
Where I am now I have found new friends
In a place called Heaven where the spirit ascends
Straight to this world few pass it by
And no one here can really die
Although this child you cannot see
I know you'd be so proud of me
I look forward to when I'll see you mum
So until it is your time to come
Enjoy your life
And please don't cry
I just came to say goodbye.
Steve Franklin Palmer
♥ ♥ HEAVEN ♥ ♥
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without the children there,
Playing hide and seek in pearly mists
Free from every pain and care.
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their carefree rapture,
Scrambling through the fluffy clouds
Each happy moment to capture
♥ ♥
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their shouts and laughter
Echoing across Elysian fields
As starbursts they chase after
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their joyful choir
Ringing through celestial realms
Sweet voices rising ever higher
♥ ♥
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their radiant light,
Undimmed by earth's murky shades
Their robes shining bright.
Heaven would not be Heaven
Without their smiles of pleasure,
Bearing sheaves of rainbow flowers;
Children are Heaven's treasure.
♥ ♥
I Cried For You
You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you
But others pass, they never pause
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
I'll cross the sea for a different world
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold
In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met
They may not know
How much you meant to me
I cried for you
And the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
Without you now I see
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay
I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper.
Lyrics by Katie Melua
The Little Wave
The story is about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air – until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. “My God, this terrible,” the wave says. “Look what's going to happen to me!”
Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him: “Why do you look so sad?” The first wave says: “You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?”
The second wave says: “No, you don't understand. You're not a wave; you're part of the ocean.”
Taken from the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom.
