Many many thanks for all the candles and tributes left for our beautiful angel. It means so much to
us.
All your pictures added have been saved, thank you.


Our beautiful baby boy was born on 24 January 2008.
Weighing in at 1lb 7oz
24 wks+5 days gestation
Sadly left us broken hearted on 5 February 2008.

The day i found out i was expecting you was a Saturday. I did the test and couldnt believe it when
the double lines appeared. Your daddy was sitting on the sofa so i passed it to him for a look. We
were both quiet for a while. I just couldnt believe it. Thought my reaction would be different,
jumping with joy etc but i think i was just stunned and couldnt quite believe it. Your daddy always
knew you were going to be a boy even before we found out from the scans.
He always called you his special little boy.
Then our world was turned upside down. I went into unexpected labour, they think i had an
infection. You needed all the support you'd expect at that age but seemed to do ok, although very
poorly. After 12 days we had to switch off your machines as your body had just had enough. You
couldnt fight another infection. We knew this day may come but your never prepared for when you have
to actually do it.
The staff were fantastic and in the end we couldnt prolong the agony any longer.
When they lifted you out of the incubator for us to hold, you opened your eyes, like you knew it was
time to go. Watching you take your last breath is just heart wrenching. Nothing can prepare you for
that. On that day a piece of me died with you and i'l never quite feel the same again.

Not a day goes by that we dont think of you and miss you with all our hearts and WANT YOU BACK. We
love you so very much.

Some people only dream of ANGELS, we held one in our arms.

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

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 on will ever know

Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay.

For Leland

I will light my candles as usual on Sunday

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.


When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

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.


A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
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 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.

Love Lisa (Phoebes mummy)

THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY BUSY DAY FOR ME

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

If I Knew

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Along the shore I spy a ship
As she sets out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.

I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she’s but a speck,
Then someone says, “She’s gone.”

Gone where? Gone only from our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear
To other eager eyes.

Beyond the dim horizon’s rim
Resound the welcome drums,
And while we’re crying, “There she goes!”
They’re shouting, “Here she comes!”

We’re built to cruise for but a while
Upon this trackless sea
Until one day we sail away
Into infinity.

My Son

I wrote this poem for my son Zachary and wanted to share it with you.

MY SON
A tear rolled from my eye
As I held you tight and said goodbye
You were my life, my joy, my son
Taken from me before your life had begun
My heart is now breaking
And my whole world is shaking
Just know I love you still
And I promise you I always will
Your memory will always remain
I will live forever with this pain
You are my angel, my little boy
Forever you will be my son, my joy
