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.

Hello Sweetie
I cant believe that it will soon be your 2nd birthday, where has the time gone.It only seems like yesterday that I held you in my arms, my heart breaking because you had left us before you were born,and your mummy and daddys pain so hard to bear, so hard to watch them hurting.
But the years have passed darling, and although we still miss you I know you have been watching over us.
Your mummy and daddy have not had the best time since you left us, but the gift of your baby brother you sent them has certainly brightened their lives. You would have loved Jacob, he is adorable, such a lovable and cheeky little character, when I watch him playing I sometimes try and picture you beside him, you should have been playing together. As I watch him grow it brings home just how much we were cheated of with you, all the things we never got to see or do, but I am grateful that we could even hold you in our arms for a while.
You will be in our hearts and thoughts on your birthday sweetie (as you are every day) as we celebrate your grandads birthday too.
You are loved and missed for eternity Sweetheart,
All my love as always
Nana x x x x x
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Sending lots of Love to you AngelƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
A candle filled with lots of extra love is sent to you in your home above,i will be away until Tuesday but will be thinking of you as i carry you in my heart Always x x x

Love from nana
Hello Sweetheart
i,m sorry its been so long since I visited, but I have thought about, and missed you every single day.
Your baby brother Jacob is growing so fast, and every milestone reached makes me wonder is he like his big brother would have been, had you not had to leave us.
I need you to watch over Mummy and Daddy sweetheart. Their whole world was torn apart when you left them, and the only thing that kept them going was the gift you sent them of your baby brother.
They have had some very tough times just recently sweetie, so they need as many angel hugs and kisses as you can send them..................................
I still miss you so much darling, and you will always be my special little boy.
x x x x x Love always, Nana x x x x x x

It's not easy to carry on Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
When someone we love
Has passed and gone Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
It's not easy to face
each new dayƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Knowing we'll not see
Our loved ones againƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Only time can ease the pain
And bring strength and comfortƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
with each new day
Only memories can bring peace of mindƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
As they keep alive moments
From times gone byƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Forever to be treasured
Are the treasures of the pastƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
For they will always be
Kept alive in the heartƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
And when the treasures go
We'll fondly rememberƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
The joy that they brought
In our memories foreverƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ A Place Where Children Are Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Nite Nite Angel Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
What kind of place would heaven be Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
With all its streets of gold Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
If all the souls That dwell up there Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
like yours and mine were old Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
How strange would heaven's music sound
when harps begin to ring Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
If children were not gathered round Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
to help the angels sing Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Hello sweetheart i'm sorry that i havent visited yu for a while but i wanted to let you know that i have never forgotten about you xxxx
My special forever Angel
Hello Sweetheart
I know its a long time since Nana visited you here, but you know you are in my heart always.
Your baby brother is 3 months old now, and so cute!!!!
I love him so much, but it also makes me realise just what we missed with you sweetheart, so much we never had the chance of.
Mummy is wonderful with him, just as she would have been with you .You would be soooo proud of her, she has done so much to raise the awareness of how many parents are devastated by the loss of their babies, just as we were.
She and daddy miss you so much, sometimes I watch her looking at Jacob with a mixture of love and pain, and I know she is wondering what you would have been like had you not been taken away from us.
Watch over her for me sweetheart,some days are still a struggle for her.
Sweetie, you know you are in our hearts and thoughts always, and will never be forgotten, I love you and you will always be nanas special little man
x x x x x x love always Nanna x x x x x x
Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX
I send to you this Eve a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.
My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.
For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
