Matthew was our very much longed for baby.

We found out that at 20 weeks into the pregnancy we were going to loose baby Matthew, he had a very
poorly heart.

He was then delivered when I was just 21 weeks pregnant. He is, and will always be sadly missed.
Our arms feel empty not having him to hold. His big brother William wanted him so much too and is
very sad he has gone to heaven to be with the angels.

He was born and died on Monday 21st May 2007, loved and gone forever, yet never forgotten. His due
date was 2nd October 2007.

One day my baby Matthew, we will meet again, until that time comes know mammy, daddy and William
love you so much, stay with us in spirit and keep us strong. I hope 'night nights' is looking after
you.

Your little sister is now with us, the biggest ray of pink sunshine we could ever ask for, thank you
for keeping her safe and making her arrival into this world a very happy one. I often see a glint in
her eye and I know it's your little soul shining through her!

Matthew;

I wonder what you would have looked like, how cheeky you would have been, and how much you would
have made us laugh, as your big brother does, and it makes me so, so sad that the angels stole you
from me. Somedays I feel angry that your heart was so poorly and I wonder why you? why us? I know
that is a question that will never be answered and one I will always ask. Please rest in peace and
know I am so, so sorry. Mam X x X

You will never be replaced and never be forgotten. We love you.

Sands Memorial

Matthew

You would have been very proud of mummy yesterday. I met with Grandma Freda and we saw her special memorial headstone she had created for all the angel babies from long ago....50 years on for all the babies who were buried in unmarked graves with no funeral or no goodbyes. Those poor mummies now have their closure and I did a reading for every one of them.

I lit a candle for you and for baby Joe who would have been 5 this Friday. I hope his mum gets through the week ok.

Sending you lots of love, Mam x

Happy 1st Birthday ....

Today should have been your 1st birthday.

If we lived in a perfect world and you had not been so poorly then we would have been having a lovely birthday party for you.

I will visit your grave later today with your little sister, to whom we would not be blessed with if it wasn't for your passing. So very bitter sweet.

Then I will get a little cake and 1 candle and William asked if he could blow it out.

Sending you lots of love...always, Mummy x

You have just walked on ahead of me

You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand

I try to cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more hold your touch

Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine

Thinking of you always

Hello Sweetie, last night your little sister wore the little sleepsuit I bought for you, the only thing I ever bought for you after seeing you on our 12 week scan. I know you were smiling down on her cos she was cooing and smiling at something I couldnt see! Cheeky ;)
Your lovely big brother William always makes me laugh, if anyone mentions the name Matthew, he never fails to tell them proudly we have a 'Matthew' in heaven. It makes me smile.
Love you lots and miss you always ~ Mam x

Happy Birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday Matthew!
You're such a wonderful and special little boy. It's through you and Euan that I met your lovely mummy. It's because you both couldn't stay that Beth and Isla are here. Your little life has meant so very much and that's just in the first year!
Sending you and your family so very much love baby. xx
Love always, Elli xx

One Year Today

It was a year ago today when we came and saw you on the scan, when we were told about your poorly heart. It was the day that changed our lives forever. You are never far away from our thoughts.

Last night I held your sister so very tightly and it hit me again just what we have lost, loosing you. A baby is so very precious and tiny. I hope that you are growing big and strong in heaven and are being looked after.

Sending you lots of love, always.

Just felt sad today

Matthew
Today I felt quite sad. I think it's knowing that next week it will be a year since you left us and grew your angel wings.
I know that if that had not have happened Beth would not be with us and I know we are so very blessed to have her here.
It gets confusing sometimes. The conflicting feelings of happy and sad all blended into one another.
Watch down on us and send us the strength to get through the next week.
After then it will be a year, we will have lived at least 1 Christmas, 1 Birthday, 1 of everything ....since you have been gone, and perhaps then things may start being a little gentler and a little easier.
All my love, Mam Mam x x x
