Today we have taken time off work and gone out to remember our son.
He died today, 9 years ago, at exactly 11.25am.
Sweet dreams little man.

He was so beautiful. They are such lovely photographs and you must really treasure them. I hope Tuesday went OK for you all. I have sadly just lost my baby at 12 weeks, just days before I was due to have my scan. It isn't my first miscarriage and I was only in the first trimester, but I am still totally devastated. What it must have been like for you to lose a newborn baby I cannot begin to imagine. Lots of love xx
ReplyDeleteHi Mum of nine,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you have ad a miscarriage. I know it is devestating. I have had 6 now inbetween all the children, and two in my 40's. When you loose a baby, at whatever stage, all your dreams, hopes and plans are lost along with the baby too. I think that is one of the things others do not realise. I hope you recover quickly and have the gift of another baby in your lives.

Thanks for your kind words. It's nice to know there's someone who understands. We haven't even told friends and family (including our own mothers) as they would just make the usual tactless "haven't you already got enough kids" comments. I hope I am still able to have another baby one day. Fingers crossed xx
ReplyDeleteHi Mum of 9,
ReplyDeleteI have had those comments too when I have miscarried. It's like I have so many it doesn't really matter, when in fact it does, especially in your 40's when you are so very aware that could have been your last chance at a pregnancy. Good luck, I really hope and pray you manage to concieve and carry another baby!
