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.

♥ღ♥ The love goes on and on... ♥ღ♥

There's a pain beyond imagining
That’s burning in your heart
For suddenly your whole world
Has been cruelly ripped apart.
All words of consolation
Which are bound to come your way
Will probably seem empty
And of little use each day.
For when you ask the question why
It makes no sense at all
That one so precious had to die.

The only source of comfort
Is your memories and the love
And they will shine forever
Like the brightest star above.
A flame that burns eternally
So strong it lights the sky
And even through your darkest days
That flame will never die.
So many people share your pain
We grieve with you as one.
The gift of life gets taken back
But the love goes on and on.

Bless you & your little Angel Neaven.
Thank you for your support on Kits site. It means so much to us. I've been away for a few days so wasn't able to be lighting my usual candles. I am so grateful for you, my GTS friend, and your support.

♥ღ♥ Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx ♥ღ♥

A walk to remember...by Kathie Rataj Mayo

I walk to remember
the steps you'll never take.
I carry you with me
as I firmly plant my feet.

Our trek started long ago,
before my belly swelled.
You were a love that grew-
like butterfly wings that beat.
Your gently flutters then became
kicks upon which I would dwell.
And I would talk to you, sweet babe,
about the world you soon would meet.

The sun always shone upon us then-
when you were in my womb.
And I was eager to show you the world
that would have been your home.
How you'd have loved the sun shining-
blue skies without a cloud.
The autumn leaves turning-
the snow falling all around.
The flowers in summer-
would have filled your eyes with smiles.
And the rain that might have fallen
would have caused you great surprise.

You would have travelled far with me-
holding me by the hand,
And I'd have shown you all I could-
more than I can imagine.

You hold my heart tightly now,
as though we're holding hands.
How far we've travelled, little one-
and my life with you has been sweet.
For I carry you in my heart,
as I firmly plant my feet.

Guarding Angel

When times are hard, were feeling low
We don't know where we want to go
It's time we need to know

An Angel to guide you on your way
An Angel to brighten your day

When you need an uplifting thought
A hand to hold or to hug a lot

An Angel to sit with you awhile
An Angel to make you smile

Our Angel knows our dented soul
The friend comes from an unknown
source and soon we feel complete
once more

An Angel to encourage and guide
An Angel to stay by your side.


another Angel took too soon! sending you and your family
lots of love
Suzanne

♥ღ♥ One More Day ♥ღ♥

Last night I had a crazy dream,
A wish was granted just for me.
It could be for anything.
I didn't ask for money,
Or a mansion in Timbuktoo.
I simply wished for one more day with you.
One more day,
One more time.
One more sunset.
Maybe I'd be satisfied.
But then again I know what it would do.
Leaving me wishing still...
for one more day with you.
One more day,
First thing I'd do is
Pray for time to crawl.
I'd unplug the telephone,
Keep the TV off,
I'd hold you every second,
Say a million I love you's.
That's what I'd do...
With one more day with you.

If only we all could just have one more day.

♥ღ♥ Bless you ♥ღ♥

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall
Living our hearts without you
Is the hardest part of all
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you
The special years will not return
When we were all together
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.

Bless you Neaven x

Happy Easter xx

When a little person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your little Angel,
Looking upon you during the night.

The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

♥ With love & grateful thanks.
Happy Easter love from Deb & Kit xx ♥

Remember Me.

To the living I am gone,
To the sorrowful I will not return,
To the angry I was cheated,
To the happy I am at peace,
To the faithful I have never left.

I cannot speak but I can listen,
I cannot be seen but I can be heard,
As you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea,
Remember Me...

As you look in awe at a mighty forest,
And its grand majesty.
Remember Me...

As you look upon a flower and admire,
Its simplicity.
Remember Me...

For whenever you think of me...
I will always be remembered.
