Daniel is our first child, our only son.He was so wanted right from the second we found out, we were pregnant.We loved this little person so much.You wouldn't believe how a person who you had never meet could take over your whole life.The more he grew, the more our love grew. Making plans for the future.Going by the way he could kick, a future England player in the making.
I was in and out of hospital with water infections and high blood pressure.All the joys of being pregnant I thought and it would be worth it in the end, when I got to hold this special baby.
When I was 35 weeks, I had woken with pains.At first thinking it was braxton hicksagain.But has the day went on they come more regular and more painful.I was in labour.
When I got to the hospital I was put on the monitor .I noticed his heart beat wasn't as fast as the previous week.He's heart beat was always quite fast.I was told it was because he was so active.But now it had dropped quite a bit.When I told the nurse, she contacted the consulate.Who told her the moniter was probably broken and the baby was probably less active now. I was still in quite a bit of pain and felt sick.He said I probably wasn't in labour either, but another water infection with my histroy.Not having done this before I believed them.As the evening went on so did the pains getting worse.A junior nurse told me I was in full labour.As I stood up I felt something go, my waters i thought and something fall.Than I was pushed on the bed.I was going to meet this person at last.Everything seem to happen so fast after that.I was going to have a c-section.When I come round, I was told I had a little boy.Daniel John.
I wanted to get back to my husband so we could start enjoying oor son and being parents.But Daniel wasn't there.I was told he was in special care.Well he had made a dramatic enterence.WSo I just thought he needed a bit of help, and then we could be together soon.I was never told how ill he really was.Even when I was taken down there to see him.I noticed he looked so big to the other babies.Even thou he was only 5lb 10oz.
I don't know if it was the drugs or denial that made me not see how sick he was.
They placed him in my arms , that was the most precious and memorial moment in my life. I can still feel how it felt holding him at last.
Then they gave him to his dad, what I didn't know is he actually died in his arms.This tiny little boy had wanted to say goodbye.His little body couldn't fight no more.
That was the day our life changed for ever.
He was only 5 and half hours old.
We might not have had him long,but in our hearts he will stay for ever.He now has 3 younger sisters who I know he'd love as much as we do.

I found out later that I had pre-eclampsia at the end of my pregnancy not just a water infection.Which had made the afterbirth die slowly.

CAUSE of death was Placental abruption which cut off the oxygen to the placenta.

All my life I will miss you
As the years come and go,
But in my heart you will live forever,
Because I love you so.

God, Take This Child.... By Nancy Scott
Sweet child whom we never really got to know,
It’s hard for us to let you go.
We waited and we wanted you.
We had so many dreams for you.

We think of smiles we'll never see.
We think of events that will never be.
There will be no first steps and no first teeth.
There is only a void and our own grief.

We planned to take you to places far and near.
We yearned to keep you safe and free from fear.
We hoped to show you much of your new world.
We wanted to teach you as your life unfurled.

It’s hard to understand why you, our baby, died.
We feel so numb right now, many tears we’ve cried.
We have so many questions and no answers seem to come.
We tried so hard to save you; nothing could be done.

God, we stand before you broken-hearted
and ask you to heal these lives that must be parted
from this little one we can no longer hold,
who will always be a part of us, even when we're old.)

God, take this child in your loving arms.
No more can he suffer any harm.
Bless him always and bless us too.
Be with us and help us to make it through

************TINY FOOTPRINTS**************

These are my footprints, so perfect and so small. These tiny
footprints, never touched the ground at all.

Not one tiny footprint, for now I have my wings. These tiny
footprints were meant for other things.

You will hear my tiny footprints, in the patter of the rain.
Gentle drops like angel’s tears, of joy and not from pain

You will see my tiny footprints, in each butterflies lazy dance.
I’ll let you know I’m with you, if you just give me a chance.

You will see my tiny footprints, in the rustle of the leaves.
I will whisper names into the wind, and call each one that grieves.

Most of all, these tiny footprints, are found on mommy’s heart.
‘Cause even though I’m gone now, we’ll NEVER truly part.

The Littlest Angel

I’m only a small child, not much do I know.
God holds onto my hand as I look down below.
I’m here with the Father in the most beautiful place
yet I can’t feel much joy when I see your sad face.

Your heart has been broken, I can see from up here
as you struggle along and you wipe every tear.
If I only had words I could send you today
that would tell you I’m home and I’m really okay.

Heaven is beautiful with sparkles and white wings,
and the angels are teaching me so many things.
I’ll grow and mature in this Heavenly land
while holding on tightly to my Father’s soft hand.

Then one day you’ll join me in this home in the skies.
Our joy will be full with no more goodbye’s.
So don’t grieve for me now but find peace in your soul,
and know God has finally made your little one whole.

Now, even if you can’t seem to understand why,
please know in your heart that our love didn’t die.
He tells me that just for a time we must wait
and then I can meet you at Heaven’s front gate!

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Daniel"
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 Daniel of yours.

To The Child I'll Never Know - by Gloria Dianne Hall

How can I say Good Bye
When I barely said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For the child I'll never know?

You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.

I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.

I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.

I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.

I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.

You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one. XX

Kisses to Heaven~

Today I sent a kiss to Heaven
I'm encouraging all of you to try
For if I have shared this with you
You have had a child die.

This kiss came from deep inside
And I know that it truly was received
Right after I had sent my kiss
A calming breeze surrounded me.

Not only that, a wind chime rang
From where I do not know
But I felt my children smile at me
And say they love me so.

Take a kiss within your hands
And look up to the sky
Release that kiss with loving care
Now please try not to cry.

Once your kiss is off to them
To Heaven's gate above
Just look for any single sign
Of your child's precious love.
