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.

My Special Little Man
Hi Sweetheart
I went with mummy on tuesday for a scan on your little brother Jacob Owen.Yes he is carrying your name sweetheart. He will be here in about 8 or 9 weeks now and is doing fine.He weighs 3lb 4 ozs, and I was watching him kicking mummy after we got home yesterday.
We are looking forward to his arrival, but very scared too, because it reminds us what we lost , that we never had the chance to know you , but that will never stop us loving you.
I know you will watch over your brother and see him safely into this world, screaming loudly enough for both of you. He is one very lucky boy, having his own guardian angel to watch over him.
I love you sweetie, and I miss you, that will never change, you will always be, Nanas special little man. x x x x x
Angels
Angels soar through heaven
With everlasting light
Looking down from heaven
Saying their "goodnights"
Kissing all who loved them
So gently on the face
This life's tender mercy
Each parent can embrace
Wings and shiny halos
Travel from on high
Surrounding all their loved ones
They never say good-bye.
Nite Nite angel sweetdreams love hugs and kisses x x x x x x x
SHEILA (BABY MARK BROOKS) (TOMMY BROOKS)
ALWAYS REMEMBER I REALY DO CARE XX
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realize God loves children
Angels are hard to find.
if ever i do not visit for one day or two
please dont think that i dont care because i always do, sweet angel your always in my heart and in my thoughts and my MARK AND HIS DADDY will always be there with you to let you know i care, xx love always sheila xx
For my beautiful Grandson
MY GRANDCHILD AND I
We are connected my Grandchild and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
This cord it works right from the start,
it binds us together attached to my heart.
I know it's there though no one can see,
the invisible cord from my grandchild to me.
The strength of this cord is hard to describe,
it can't be destroyed, it can't be defied.
It's stronger than any cord that man can create,
it withstands the test and can hold any weight.
And though you can't be here anymore with me,
the cord is still there but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart I am bruised and sore,
but this cord is my lifeline as never before.
I am thankful at least that we can connect in this way,
a Nan and a grandchild they can't take it away
