This site is in memory of My beautiful grandson Owen Brooke, who was born sleeping on his grandads birthday,25th nov 2007.
Owens mummy (my daughter ) Clare ,and daddy, Matthew were so happy when they found out they were going to have their first baby.
Clare has a pituitary tumour which affects fertility, and they had been trying for quite a while, not knowing if they would have children or not!
The pregnancy progressed well and babys due date was 26th dec 2007(boxing day) what a christmas present!!
Wed 21st nov:
We had a baby shower , lots of presents for baby and also some pampering ones for mummy.
thursday 22nd nov:
Clare didnt feel baby move very much which i put down to the fact that she only had 4 wks to go and wouldnt have as much room to move around.
Friday 23rd nov:
Clare rang me,crying.Baby hadnt moved, she had done all the usual things and and couldnt find the heartbeat with the doppler ,(which she had done many times before).
Matthew was on his way home from work to go to the hospital with her.
The thing that sticks with me that really hurts, is that she said to me "it will be ok mum wont it"?God wouldnt let me get this far and then take it away from me?"
I reassured her that it would be fine and baby had probably moved and thats why she couldnt hear the heartbeat, oh if only that had been the reason.
The next phone call we got was from Clare saying they had lost the baby, and she was to go in on sunday to deliver .
Clare and Matt came straight here to us and we all cried together.They hadnt wanted to know the sex until baby was born so at that point we still didnt know it was a boy.
Sunday 25th:
We set off to the hospital, Clare, Matt,Jodie(clares younger sister) and myself.
We were shown to the Snowdrop suite(St James Hospital, Leeds)and the 2 midwives that attended Clare were wonderful .
After about 4 hrs labour Our beautiful angel Owen was born sleeping.Dark hair rosebud lips,and so much like his daddy.
It was such a sad time but also a beautiful one.
My youngest daughter has been a tower of strength for both Clare and Matt , and it really brought them much closer than they already were.
We spent time with Owen ,holding him ,loving him, taking photos, and just soaking up what we could to remember him by.
Matts family came to meet him too, we all cried but there were smiles as well.
I am so proud of them all, and i know Owen would be proud too to have such a wonderful mummy ,daddy, and so many aunty,s uncles,cousins and grandparents,that would have loved him so much.
I really Miss my little man, and i think of him every day, and am so grateful to Clare and Matt for allowing me to witness the birth of an angel.
When Owen has a little brother or sister we will make sure they know all about their big brother, and how special they are to have their very own,"guardian angel".
In our arms for only hours,In our hearts forever.
We have since found out that Owen grew his wings 2 days before he was born, due to concealed placental abruption.
Update 28th August 2008
Owen is to have a baby Brother ,due in december, who will be named Jacob Owen.
The music you are listening to is from an album recorded by Owens mummy,called "TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL", As a lasting tribute to her son, and is being sold to raise money for the stillbirth and neonatal death society(SANDS).
Please contact me if you are interested in buying the album.

Happy Birthday Oweb - by Ingrid Aspey
Grandma always loved you
She loves you still today
As she celebrates your life
On this your earth Birthday
She remembers as if it was yesterday
How it felt to hold you tight.
She remembers how she would have tucked
You into bed and said goodnight
But most of all she remembers
The pain when you had to part
That when she knew you'd gone
How it broke her heart
She wonders how you've been
In the time since you’ve been gone
And are you so very proud of her
Because she’s been so strong
She hopes that you are happy
In Gods garden up above
Surrounded by kind Angels
And their everlasting love
So have a Happy Birthday
As we celebrate the day
You came into Grandma’s life
Although short was your stay
Grandma will always think of you
And send you all her love
Until her earthly life is through
And she joins you up above.

"Remember Me" (song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!

Happy birthday sweetheart
Hi Sweetie
I,m sorry its so late, but i hope you had a wonderful birthday in heaven with all your angel friends. I cant believe you would be 3 today if you had been here with us. Although we cant send cards to heaven, I did send you some chinese lanterns tonight, I watched them go from a bright orange ball of fire to a tiny speck,so high in the sky, until they disappeared altogether.
I still miss you sweetheart, and will always keep the memory of you close in my heart.
Happy 3rd Birthday to nana's special little man. Love as always x x x xNana x x x x x x x
Nearly 3
Hi Sweetie
its getting near that time again. The time we should be celebrating your Birthday and not your Angelversary. 3 years old next month, how the time has flown, Your litttle brother will be 2 years old the week after your 3rd anniversary. He is soooo cute and cheeky, everyone loves him, hes just such a happy little soul, and so loving. Hes such a little character, I wonder would you too have been like him, I,m sure you would, and would have been loved just as much as he is had we been given the chance to get to know you. I love him so much but there is and always will be, a little corner of my heart that belongs to you, and it still aches for what we have missed with you. Your mummy still speaks of you often, and sometimes i see her watching Jacob with a far away look in her eyes, and know she is thinking of you. I hope you have a lovely 3rd birthday in the clouds sweetheart, we will all be thinking of you and sending our birthday wishes to you on chinese lanterns, I love you little man and I miss you and you are still, and always will be Nanas special little man x x x x x x x x x
Hello there little man, i'm sorry i havent been to see you in a while but you are in my thoughts each day. Your little brother is doing so well and is from what mummy has told me is so cheeky and i can imagine that you would have been the same. I hope that you have been good and have been enjoying jumping in all the puddles that the clouds have created. Lots of love xxxxxx
Today
Hi Sweetie
Today has been a beautiful day.the sun was shining and it has been very hot. Your mummy was at work all day, and your daddy and little brother Jacob, came round and sat in the garden with me and your great nan. I was watching Jacob splashing around in the pool, and picturing you beside him. Thats how it should have been. You would have had such fun together and i,m sure the 2 of you would have kept us all on our toes, not that Jacob needs any help to do that, hes such a live wire.
Just wanted you to know i was thinking of you , and missing you lots today.
You are, as always sweetheart, nana,s special little man, and will always be missed
love always x x x x nana x x x x x x
Another Year.
Hi Sweetie
Well, another Christmas and another New year without you, It will never be the same again sweetheart. I miss so much what we should have had, the closeness i have with baby Jacob, to hold you in my arms and feel your little arms around my neck.
Someday Sweetheart, we will all be together, until then sweetie you will stay tucked in my heart.
Love you always Owen, nanas special little man x Nana x
Christmas Memories of an Angel in Heaven
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ There's a very special place
Beyond the skies above
Somewhere very peaceful
That is full of light and love
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
That special place is Heaven
Where you're free to laugh and roam
It was your time to go there
So the Angels took you home
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
And though you're in our thoughts
Each day throughout the year
At special times like christmas
We all wish you could be here
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Now you' re in a better place
Your soul is laid to rest
Safe with all the Angels
For they only take the best Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
(Author uunknown)
Sending lots of christmas love to you and your loved one's Denise x x x x x
