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.

Ask My Mum How She Is

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mum how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.

Ask my Mum how she is,
She'll say 'I'm alright.'
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

Ask my Mum how she is,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping.'
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.

She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told.

6 weeks and counting

Matthew, if you were still with us in this life you would be due in just 6 weeks! That seems a scarey thought. I am pretty scared to have to live through your due date without you being here, so you need to keep us strong and get us through it as easily as you can.
I miss you every single day and think about you nearly all day long, all week long...I even dream about you night after night, so you are never away from my thoughts, regardless of what else is going on with us.
Sending you lots of love , now and always, your mum. X

Just hello

Hi Matthew. Thought about you lots and lots today, and saw your Uncle Lee today and told him all about you, we chatted lots, it's the first time I have seen him since we lost you, it was nice for someone to want to talk about you. Kisses to you in heaven, play nicely with all the other angels and be a good boy. X x x

Denise Branfoot (Mother) August 13, 2007

To Dear Denise,
I feel your raw pain, the hurt your going through, our children are so close in age, I have no doubt that they are friends just like we have become.
Matthew is sitting on his cloud, watching over his Mummy, Daddy, and Big brother William, he is so so proud of all of you, for coping, and getting through each day, with the courage and dignity you have.

I just want you back

Matthew - You should still be inside my tummy, causing me grief, instead you are in a grave causing me to grieve. It seems just so wrong. We miss you so very much. I am glad I had you even for a short time, than to have never had you at all. X x X
