Baby Samuel your mum is doing something special today in your honour and all your friends in heaven. Send her special hugs today as she goes through the journey of reliving that awful night her and your dad (as well as all of us) lost you.
She has worked very hard to launch Life After Loss and in her grief she has achieved so much she has reached so many people and supported other mummies and daddies who have gone through the unimaginable.
I'm sure you are as proud of her as we all our this is all in your memory wee man you will never be forgotten and you will live on in all our hearts but also through the work of Life After Loss.
I'm sitting here looking at your cousin Abigail and my thoughts are drawn to you I just had to come and let you know that even though four years have passed you are remembered and thought about every day. Tears are falling for you.
What plans I had in my head for all the things that we could have done together and sadly we didn't get to create any new memories - just the memories of 39 weeks of excitment as your mummy and daddy got ready for your arrival.
Unfortunately Abigail will never know you in this life but she will grow up knowing that you are a very important part of our family and are always in our hearts.
Big hugs and kisses are being sent up to you wee man you are missed so very much.
Samuel have a wonderful birthday with all your angel friends - you know how much we all love and miss you - all our thoughts today will be about you.
Let your mum, dad, Aimee, Nathan and Freddie feel all the gentle kisses you blow down to them today, as they prepare to go to your special garden.
If all the love in the world could bring you back, you would have climbed straight down the angel ladders four years ago, but God needed a special little boy in Heaven with Him and much to our pain and hurt, He chose you, our precious Samuel.
Catch all the kisses that are on their way to you today.....
Another Christmas has past and we are about to enter into another new year - 2009, but as each year rolls into another one, the pain of losing you never goes away. You were thought about so much this Christmas, as granny and I sat and talked about what you would probably be doing and what your presents from Santa would have been. Granny bought you a lovely wee teddy for underneath the christmas tree - so you are never forgotten, you get a present just like Aimee, Nathan and Freddie.
We went to your garden today and put flowers on your grave - the pain is still there as we approach four years of your anniversary.
We all love and miss you so much, you are such a special wee boy and have a special place in all our hearts.
You have been in my mind so much over the past couple of weeks 'wee man'. You are very much a part of our family even though you are not here on earth with us, we talk about you all the time and everytime we see a boy your age we imagine what you'd be like. You have a wonderful sister and two younger brothers, who will grow up hearing all about their big brother and how special he is.
I'm soo sorry I couldn't get to the balloon release on Sunday, but I know you know why! It didn't mean I wasn't thinking about you, you were in my mind all day and just seeing all those balloons going up from my bedroom window, really brought tears to my eyes. I bet you were so proud of what your mum organised and impressed by your dad's co-ordination in holding the nets!!
You may not be with us, but your legacy lives on in everything that your mum does in Life After Loss - she is a real inspiration and I know you probably ran round heaven on Sunday telling all your angel friends that your mum organised everything!!
I keep imagining at what stage your mum and dad would have been in their pregnancy and it's just this month three years ago, we got to see you on the screen sucking your thumb - what an marvellous image that was and one that will stay with me until we meet again - where has the time gone??
Well, I just want you to know, you are loved so very much and missed more and more each passing day, Keep watching over your mum, dad, Aimee, Nathan and Freddie, they all love you dearly.
Catch all our kisses 'wee man' - we love you dearly xoxo
Hey big brother! / Mummy
hiya sweetheart. Just wanted to say you are in my heart always and especially at the minute. Thank you so so much for looking after your newest little brother Freddie, and getting him here safe. I can definitely see you in him. Miss you so much xxxxxxxxx Close
Where has the last three years gone??? I'm sitting here tonight thinking about you sooo much, and what you would have looked like - I was sooo excited about your arrival into the world and can still remember walking round all the baby shops, saying i'll buy that when he comes along - your dad used to joke that he'd call you Godffrey!!! when you were born!!! what a name eh!!!
Your mum and dad have been blessed with two more beautiful children - Aimee and Nathan, who in no way will ever replace you, but they are special too. Watch over your special family, as they prepare to get ready for the arrival of your baby brother.
I love you soo much Baby Samuel - as I sit here typing this to you, the tears are pouring down my cheeks - I know I shouldn't say this, cos I'm only your aunt, but I would do anything to bring you back to share special moments with you, buy you nice things - it just seems unfair that the only thing I can buy for you is flowers for your garden. I hope in someway you can feel all our love for you and I really look forward to the day God calls me home and I'll get to see you again.
Catch all my special kisses for such a special wee boy - I'll have to stop calling you that - but I still see you as that perfect wee baby lying in his moses basket surrounded by teddy bears.
Came across Samuel's memorial while looking for another and wanted to offer my heartfelt condolences. He is a beautiful little boy, just precious. What wonderful drawings of him too! Captured his tiny face perfectly. My heart goes out to you, his family and friends, and I hope that you've found some measure of comfort over the years. Also, a slightly belated happy 3rd birthday to Samuel. I hope he had a fabulous party with all of the other angels.
My special son / Mummy
Hey wee man, I just wanted to say that I love and miss you more than ever at the moment. The pain of not having you here with me is unbearable. I look back to this time 3 years ago and I just can't believe what I had waiting ahead of me. 3 years ago you were still here. I felt you kick and hiccup, I was excited about meeting you. I had no idea you would be torn away for me or how much it was possible to hurt.
I just know you would have had me wrapped round your wee finger.
I don't get to come on here as much as I used to, and I feel guilty. But I know you understand. I love your sister and brother so much, but there is always that missing person, that gaping hole in our family. Nobody will ever replace you and we will never forget you.
Thinking of you loads today / Michelle Magee (Aunt)
Hello 'wee man'!
Think and talk about you every day, but today I have just heard another little angel has joined you and it just brings back the pain and memories of the day you became an angel. Your mummy and daddy made a very special little boy and you achieved so much in your nine months in your mummy's womb - you waved at us all through your 3D scan I can remember that night so well, we were all glued , you kicked your mummy's belly when your daddy spoke or when a goal was scored!! and I'm sure you have lots of other special things that are unique to you, your mummy and daddy, but all those things that we enjoyed with you will stay with us always.
Aimee and Nathan are so lucky to have you as their big brother - just as me and your Aunt Nicola are to have your daddy as our brother.
I can imagine you running around and telling all your friends what a special mummy you have - she organised such a wonderful day two weeks ago for you and all your friends. I hope yous are having loads of fun playing with all those balloons that were sent to you all with such love.
Look after your new friend wee man - give her lots of love.
Always watch out for your mummy, daddy, brother and sister - they all love and miss you dearly.
You are a special and precious baby and always will be.
Baby Samuel - sending you lots of love and birthday kisses today. Two years today since you were born and everyone's life changed.
We talk about you every day and imagine the things you would be doing. You will never be forgotten.
Let your mum and dad feel your love today, they miss you soo much and today will be such a hard day for them as they take the jorney down memory lane..... one they never thought they would have to take.
May God give them the strength to get through today.
Let your baby sister Aimee be of help to your mum and dad today, as she grows older she will be hearing all about her precious big brother!
I hope all your angel friends are making such a fuss of you today as you have a big party in heaven. One day, we will all be together again.
Baby Samuel, you have been on all our minds throughout this Christmas and New Year season. You will never will be forgotten. We talk about you and think about you every day. Seeing Aimme growing each day, makes us all think of you and how much we have missed out on with you. But you gave us memories as well, the first time your daddy and mummy showed us your scan pictures, the first time you waved at us on the television screen at your 3D scan, the first time we saw you kicking inside your mummy's tummy - you gave us plenty of firsts. But you are in a better place now, and we will all be together again one day.
Continue to watch over your daddy, mummy, Aimee and your new brother or sister as we enter into 2007. Your daddy and mummy miss you so much, you may not be with them in person, but you are always in their hearts.
Catch all our kisses wee man, our hearts are full of love for you.
Congratulations Samuel / Sophie Gray (Friend of Mummy )Read >>
