i was having identical twins i found out 2 days before new years eve that one twin would die after
birth. i was offered all the selective reduction procedures but i knew i couldnt do that. i know
anencephaly is not compatible with life but i loved both my boys and still do. we decided to carry
to term and all the time pregnant we had 2 plan the funeral i even picked the hymns and designed the
mass cards it was so sad picking a coffin and a cot, but i wanted to do it before neaven was born so
i could enjoy whatever time i had and not have to worry about my hubby organising it on his own.
he was born first twin at 1 36 am and died at 4 45 am on the 1st june 2007 . lived for a wonderful 3
and a half hours. he had black hair and weighed 3 lb 2 oz.he cried once and he looked at me shortly
after that he slipped into a coma and developed apnoea. until he passed he was christened at 3.30
and he went peacefully something which im very grateful for.
he leaves behind his twin william, born 20 mins later, his big brother bobby 3 sister leahrose 2 and
lots of cousins, aunts uncles, friends and nan. we played twinkle twinkle at his funeral which
really stands out for me it was lovely, we tell his brothers, sister and cousins that hes a little
star and to me he is.
he died of anencephaly which is an open neural tube defect. this happens in the 3rd week of
pregnancy so before you know really. this can be avoided with the use of folic acid, so please make
sure you take it.
we miss him and wish we could have got to know him. he might not have lived long but he lives with
us forever.
WILLIAM NEAVENS TWIN HAS DIED AGED 19 MONTHS ON THE 28TH OF DECEMBER 08.

SITTING BACK WE WONDER WHY,
WHY OUR SON YOU HAD TO DIE,
THINGS WERE PERFECT AT THE START,
WE LOVED OUR BABIES FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEART,
TWINS, WE WERE TOLD, WE WERE SO GLAD,
WE DIDN`T REALISE, SOON WE`D BE SAD,
THEN OUR WORLD WAS TORN APART,
IT FELT OUR JOY WAS RIPPED FROM OUR HEART,
YOU WOULDN`T MAKE IT WE WERE TOLD,
BUT TO US YOUR SHORT LIFE WAS LIKE GLEAMING GOLD,
YOUR BROTHER WAS FINE, BUT ALAS YOU WERE NOT,
NOW I SIT AND CRY AT YOUR EMPTY COT,
YOUR LIFE WILL LIVE ON IN THE GUISE OF YOUR BROTHER,
BUT MY DEAREST SON THEIR WILL BE NO OTHER,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE SPECIAL AND WE`LL NEVER FORGET,
OUR DARLING SON, WHO WE ONCE MET,
SO GOD LOOK AFTER OUR DARLING NEAVEN,
UNTIL WE ALL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN.

Little Angel - by Unknown Author

God sent an Angel to the Earth...
The sweetest Angel too
And for such a tiny little thing,
He had so much to do.

He knew he did not have
Much time upon this earth to stay,
So he did not waste a second;
He got started right away.

His eyes were bright and sparkly,
He took in every turn.
He did not miss a single thing,
Because Angel came to learn!

God sent him here to touch the
Hearts of those he could not reach...
He taught them courage, strength and faith,
Because Angel came to teach.

His tiny little body
Was so full of God above,
You felt it when you held him,
Because Neaven came to love.

In a few short hours he managed
What many never will.
When he went home to Jesus,
His purpose was fulfilled.

He learned and taught, loved and played,
He learned his lessons well.
I know he was so proud of him
When he went home to dwell.

But when I miss him OH-SO-MUCH,
I can almost hear God say,
Please understand, his work was done...
Neaven did not come to stay.

The mention of my child's name
May bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring
Music to my ears.

If you are really my friend,
Let me hear the beautiful music of her name.
It soothes my broken heart
And sings to my soul.

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

A Birthday In Heaven - Author Unknown

We heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So we're sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.

You’re wondering if we’ll celebrate
Our birthday (way up here).
We know you’re missing me today
We feel your essence near.

God planned a special day for us,
He told us with a wink.
He’d ordered us a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).

Balloons will fill the streets for us,
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.

We’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 Angels xxx
