Luke was such a special little boy. He died in my tummy when I was 34 weeks pregnant so we never got
to meet him alive. We had longed for him and were awaiting his arrival with such excitement. His big
sister Hollie was excited too about mummy's baby tummy. Learning that he had died was such a huge
shock as all had been going so well.

He looked beautiful when he was born. Everything about him was perfect. He weighed 3lb 14oz and had
long arms and legs and a really fat face. We spent very little time with him.

We had so many dreams for him and miss him everyday. He was our only son and we feel his loss so
badly. My husband and I have been blessed with 2 beautiful daughters and as a family we take time to
remember Luke and hope that he is able to look down from heaven and feel how loved he is.

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Luke"
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.

Born Still - by Unknown Author

Do you know how hard it is
To hold a baby who doesn’t cry?
Do you know how hard it is
To tell that baby Goodbye?

Do you know how hard it is
To look at an empty bed?
Knowing your child should be there
Resting her sleepy head?

Do you know how hard it is
Feeling you’re to blame?
And no matter what they tell you
You'll always feel the same.

Do you know the heartache
Knowing she's gone for good?
And feeling that you didn't
Do all the things you could.

Do you know how hard it is
To hear that it's Gods will?
Do you know the emptiness
When your child is born still?

Unfortunately we do!

Nanny's birthday poem for you

Happy birthday, darling Grandson,
Safe in heaven above,
Know that you will always be,
Surrounded with our love.

Happy birthday, darling Grandson,
Though time is passing through,
We love you, as your sisters,
And think of you and miss you.

Happy birthday, darling Grandson,
Four years have flown by fast,
Know that we'll always love you,
And that love will always last.

Missing you

A lump comes into my throat and my eyes fill with tears when I think about this day 4 years ago. You were inside me, filling me with hope and excitement. My baby. I was so looking forward to meeting you and had only just finished putting your room ready. I felt you move in a very unusal way. I never felt you kick me again or felt that wonderful flutter which you gave me. I never knew you had died at that time. I am so sorry my sweet little boy. I carried you around for a whole week wondering if you had settled into a new position ready to be born.... not realsing that you had gone. I was not at all prepared for the midwife to tell me she couldn't find your heartbeat. I was not at all prepared to see your little lifeless form on the ultrasound. No heartbeat....I never knew how much pain there was to feel until that moment when I learned that you would not be coming home with me and that I could not be your mummy. I wish so hard so often that you were here with me. Your poor little body brought silently into this world broke my heart and I know that it will never ever heal... for I miss you and will never be whole without you. I loved you from the moment that I knew I was expecting you and will love you until the last breath in my body. I hope and pray that wherever you are you know that I love you and that I miss you and that I am sorry. I may not visit the cemetery so often and may not speak of you each day but you are in my heart every minute. I was pining too much and couldn't keep well as I was going, I hope you understand. You have two wonderful sisters who I often look at in amazement. I know you would have loved them. Sometimes I look at them and feel so guilty that I cannot offer you what I have given them. I feel so bad that I lost you. I wish so hard that I could give you everything. I know I can't though. If I could have just one wish in the world....I would wish a very selfish wish.... nothing for anyone else but me and you.....I would wish to hold you one more time even if just for a brief moment as the time we had was just not enough and it is my hearts deepest wish. I wish to hold you and just tell you that I love you and that I am so proud of you my little one. You have gone through so much wiithout me there with you and I am so sorry. I think of you today as we approach your birthday and pray to God that you are at peace. I love you Luke so much. You are my most precious, most loved and most missed son. sending you great big hugs and kisses up to heaven xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I think about Luke all the time and wonder what he would have been like. He will always be missed, we would have loved to have known him, but we are thankful that he has two lovely sisters and we love them dearly. Nanny Minter

Just wanted you to konw that we love you and that we miss you. You must never feel alone, sad or afraid little one as my thoughts are always with you and you hold a piece of my heart wherever you are. Please know that could I reach up and hug you I would. I'm sorry that you are not here with us. I wish so much that you were. Your tiny life and beautiful little face will never be forgotten and your memory will always be preserved in my heart. xxxxxxxxxx

Christmas angel

When we think of the Christmas angel
On top of the Christmas tree
She has pride of place
For all below to see.

When we think of the Christmas angel
The messenger of the Lord
He is so important in the Christmas story
Bringing God's Holy word.

When we think of the Christmas angel
We think of our child so dear
Mummy and Daddy miss you so much
Especially at this time of year.

When we think of our Christmas angel
We hope and we pray
That you know how much we think of you
And love you every day

Merry Christmas little oneXXXXX

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE


Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.

You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.
