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.

Sweetie, this is just a phenomonal story.
I can honestly say I wouldn't be able to cope with what you've been through, just thinking about it makes me cry. If I ever lost my baby girl I can almost guarantee it wouldnt be long before I joined her, especially as I've got to know her in the short time she's been here, I've seen her look at m with her gorgeous eyes.
At least you know he's looking over you, happy and healthy.

so sad

this just made me cry
i really feel for you and hope you find comfort knowing he is peaceful in heaven watching over you. he was born to be an angel, he didnt have to earn that right, he was pure from the start and thats why he was taken so early.
all my love dani and family

So sorry.

In so sorry for your loss, our stories are so similar. My son Lewis lived also 12 days. Born 25+5, a little fighter like Leland. Looking at Leland pictures, brought back so many memories. I havent got many pictures of Lewis, and looking at Leland's helped me remember what Lewis looked like.

You must be so broken, believe me its nearly two years since my boy passed, and im just starting to feel a bit more normal.

Take care and take one day at a time.
