Our son, Alexander.
After finding ourselves pregnant we decided to wait untill the 12wk scan before announcing our news
to the world. Initially surprised we became more excited at becoming a mummy and daddy again and
started to make plans, choose names and enjoy being pregnant!
At the 12 wk scan it was found that our baby had an omphalocele. Whilst serious, this could be fixed
after birth through surgery we were told that children with omphaloceles are also highly likely to
have a chromosone abnormality. Our joy turned to heartbreak.
The weeks passed. We waited for tests to be done and for the results to come back. Meanwhile, our
bump grew bigger, and I started to feel our precious baby moving. I talked to our baby 'Wiggle', I
told him i loved him and would try to make him better.
Finally,the test results confirmed that our little baby had Edwards syndrome (T18) a fatal
chromosonal abnormality. After further scans we knew that our little one would not survive birth. We
made a heartbreaking decision, to interrupt the pregnancy and say goodbye to our baby early. No
decision any parent would want to make. We made the decision to prevent our son from suffering pain.
We made the decision out of love.
On the 29th Sept 2008 at 10.45pm,after a 12hr labour, our beautiful son Alexander was born in to
heaven. Ten tiny toes, ten tiny fingers. Alexander was perfect, we held him, kissed him, talked to
him, stared in awe at his beauty and perfection.
Alexander spent all night and all day with his mummy and daddy. The hardest thing was to walk away
from the hospital leaving our precious baby son behind.
On the 7th October we had a funeral for Alexander. We read poems, we played music. It was a
beautiful service. On the 9th October we interred Alexanders ashes and he now rests with his nannie
and great-nannie.
Our little boy we dreamt of meeting, so tiny, so precious, and to us totally perfect, became an
Angel and will always be in our hearts.

A LITTLE ANGEL
Today it would be wonderful
to see you play or smile
but heaven lent you to this world
for just a short while
And in that short but very precious time
you brought along so much love and joy
and all that love is with you now in heaven up above
Your leaving caused so many tears
and a lot of broken hearts
but GOD needed one more angel
so he took you back again
And we must shed our tears
and nurse our broken hearts
untill we hold you once again
and see your beautiful smile
A Birthday In Heaven - by Kris Smith
I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My Birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).
Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.
There is a Birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play the fool
And sleep in Angel’s wings.
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.
With love from your little Angel Alexander xxx
Special Angel Day - by Carmelle Gross
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
On your 1st Angelversary
On your angelversary, we wish we could turn back the clock to when you were safe and warm in mummies tummy. To a time when we were happy, and had dreams of your future.
Its now a year since we held you, and gazed in awe at your beauty and perfection.
Not a moment, not an hour, not a day goes by when you are not missed.
We love you little man, and you are a massive part in our lives. You are our little boy. And we miss you
Lots of love
Mummy and Daddy

dont think because i smile that my heart aint breaking.
dont think because i laugh that my soul aint crying.
All angel mummies wear a mask and wash in the tears of our emptiness
missing you lots little man, and wishing i could turn time back and feel that shock at being pregnant, the love and emotion seeing you on your first scan, that excitement for the future.....looking forwards to our first cuddle... but i only need to close my eyes and you are here.... xxxxx
Best Angel Friends - by Unknown Author
A beautiful little Angel showed up to Heaven's gates
Confused and unknowing the plan that for him awaits.
Then another little Angel walked up and took his hand and said,
"Please don't be sad you left, you're in the Promised Land."
"I'm glad to be here but I do not think I was meant to go,
Perhaps there was a mistake, for my Mummy wanted me so."
The little greeting Angel gave a sweet smile and said,
"My Mummy wanted me too, but to Heaven I was led.
You see, we do not get to choose when on earth it's time to go.
He gave us life, love and joy and a Mother's womb to grow.
The Lord still needs new Angels to guide them down on earth.
To watch over, comfort them, and help them see their worth."
"Is there still a way that I can sleep in my Mummy's bed?"
The greeting Angel grinned and said, "that luxury you'll keep.
I visit my Mummy nightly and softly sing her to sleep."
The little Angel replied, "then I think I'll like it here.
I'll visit my Mummy nightly and weaken her pain and fears.
I love her and will keep her safe at night and in between,
And let her know with a sweet memory that she is still with me."
The greeting Angel gave his new friend a big hug and said,
"Until our Mummy's meet us here, let's be best Angel friends."
"Okay," said the new Angel, "that sounds good to me."
Then the Angels sat and played keeping their Mummy's in sight,
Humming the tunes to the song they would sing to their Mummy's tonight...
Good night from our Angels XX
For Daddy On Father's Day - Author Unknown
A gift for you on Father’s Day,
What on earth could it be?
I know the gift you really want,
Is to once again, have me.
Or perhaps the gift of understanding,
To make sense, of a senseless loss.
I’m sorry, my dearest Daddy,
But for those gifts, you must speak to the Boss.
The gifts that I can give today,
Are memories both sad and sweet.
From the touch of your hand on Mummy’s tummy,
To my tiny little feet.
Remember, the joy you felt inside,
When you found out, you would be my Daddy?
The great big smiles upon your face.
You were over the moon, you were so happy.
Remember, when you felt me move,
The wonder and love you’d feel?
Remember it today Daddy,
It just might help you heal.
Remember the little cuddles we had,
And the moments that we shared.
Remember my little nose,
And the colour of my hair.
I love you dearest Daddy,
You know that this is true.
Just keep your memories of me alive,
And I will always live in you.
To Daddy from your Angel Alexander xxx
I'm just a little baby
who didn't quite make it there;
I went straight to be with Jesus
but I'm waiting for you here.
Don't you fret about me mommy
I'm of all God's most blessed
I'd have loved to stay there with you
but Heavenly Father knows what's best.
Many who dwell here where I live
waited years to enter in,
they struggled through a world of sorrow
and their lives were marred with sin.
So sweet mommy don't be sad,
wipe those tears and chase the gloom,
I went straight to be with Jesus,
from my lovely mothers womb.
Thank you for the life you gave me,
it was brief but don't complain;
I have all of heaven's glory
suffering none of the world's pain.
Thank you for the name you gave me,
I'm thankful for all you've done.
I'll be waiting here for you
in heaven up above.
I would have loved to stay with you,
And lived life by your side,
But the Lord has called me home,
I know it's hard to understand why.
Thank you mommy for making me,
You made me out of love,
I can't wait for the day I see you again
So you can see what I've become.
I'm an angel here in heaven,
The Lord's here by my side,
He wants me to let you know
He's sorry he made you cry.
He has a plan for me up here,
And a plan for you here too,
Someday we'll be together again,
And this I know is true.
