Silently born on 3 December 2008, weighing just 6oz and small enough to fit in daddy's hand. Ben
was a much wanted and much loved son of Denise and Gary and a precious baby brother of Gemma and
Garry. You were a miracle Ben and we wanted you so much darling but you couldn't stay. To hold
you in our arms for a brief time was a precious gift and we'll always remember and treasure those
moments. Sleeping with the Angels above because that's what you are, night night little one, sweet
dreams. Mammy and daddy love you dearly and always will. Hugs and kisses little Ben from your
big sister Gemma and your big brother Garry. xxxx

Today's you day darling

Hello sweet Ben, today is your due date but I don't even know if you'd have been born today because your sister and brother were both late. Also because of the problems with this pregnancy, I'm preoccupied. I know that sounds really awful and selfish but it's what's happening. Doesn't mean I love you any less, that'll never happen. But we are going for a meal tonight to remember what might've been happening today. Your birthday will always be 3 December and that's the day we'll celebrate. Love to you always my darling, mummy and daddy xxxx

Hey Ben!
Hope you are having lots of fun up there with Thomas and Megan and all your angel friends. Make sure you look after Mummy and Daddy and Garry and Gemma but also make sure you look after your new baby brother or sister. I know you sent this gift to Mummy and Daddy and they are so happy about it, but just make sure that you are the best big brother to that baby! :) I know you will be there guiding the baby and also the rest of your family.

Sleep well Ben.

Hi Ben, just want you to know I love you my babe and always will. I sometimes feel that because I've a new life inside me, you may feel neglected. I still think of you darling and always will. You will always be my 3rd baby, my 2nd son.

I'm scared Ben, scared that this new life will be called away like you. And because of that I'm not enjoying this pregnancy like I should, like I want to. Fingers crossed when I see this little one, it'll help ease the worry. But I know I won't rest until I have a crying baby in my arms in 8 months time. But I do know one thing darling......... I know you sent this little one as a 2nd chance for me and daddy; your dates and this baby's dates are so close to each other.

Anyways I have to go now sweetheart and get your brother ready for school. Have fun with your angel friends and ask your nana to give me the strength to enjoy this new life I'm carrying and give this new life the strength to live.

Always your mummy forever and eternity, xxxx

With Love

Please Lord

Please Lord tell our baby boy
That we still love him so,
And maybe kiss him on his cheek
So that his face will glow.

Please hold his little hand for us,
And never let him fall.
And gently whisper in his ear,
We miss his most of all.

We know that You’ll watch over him
And keep him in Your care.
And when our life on earth is done,
Please let us join him there.

~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~

Why god takes little ones
I swear I’ll never know,
You had so much life to give
It just wasn’t your time to go,
For comfort now I think of you
With tiny little wings,
Up above in a beautiful place
Listening to angels sing.

You’ll never know the pain I feel
The hurt you left behind,
Oh what I would give right now
To hold you just for a while,
I carried you in my womb
I'll never carry you in my arms,
But forever until it no longer beats
I'll carry you in my heart.

Love, miss and think of you constantly Ben,
always your mummy and daddy xxxx

Dearest Ben

Another month has gone by sweetheart and still no brother or sister for you to look over. I really thought it was happening this time, had all the signs I had with you, but then Mother Nature kicked me in the stomach this morning. I'm feeling angry, upset and everything in between. It's not fair that we really want a baby but finding it really difficult, when others fall pregnant instantly. Why is my body so cruel to me, giving me false hope.

We have our appt on Thursday to maybe get some answers about you. I really hope we can understand why you couldn't stay.

Look down on us darling and give us your love and strength to see us through it all. In return, you have our unconditional love for always.

Love you baby, mammy xxxx

Love You Ben xx

The little one we longed for,
Was swiftly here and gone,
But the love that was then planted,
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do,
For every beating of our hearts,
Says that we love you

Mammy and daddy xxxx

Our Baby Ben xx

Your little boy cries too much
My little boy makes no sound ,
Your little boy sleeps warm in his crib
Mine lies cold in the ground

Your little boy woke up today
My little boy never will,
Your little boy laughs and plays
My little boy lies still

Your little boy makes you proud
But just as proud am I,
Cause while your little boy will learn to walk
My little boy can FLY .xxxxx
