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.
So tiny so precious
Sweet cherub Owen Brooke, hope you are shining in the sky with my Jonathan David and are best of pals up there. God bless xx

An Angels view
My mummy lives down there on earth
I`m in 'The great somewhere'
Some people call it heaven
There are lots of angels there
Ive got lots of of baby angel friends
Weve all got fluffy wings
We fly around, and laugh and play
Do lots of funny things
Sometimes we,ll send a feather
It floats down to the ground
If an angels mummy picks it up
She knows then, We`re around
Other times we`ll form a circle
Give a mummys heart a tug
Then we wrap our wings around her
Thats called' an angel hug'
We see Daddys too from way up here
And help them when we can
An angels daddy needs hugs too
Even though he is a man
You cant see us,nor touch or feel
But we are so close by
In the sun, the rain ,the air you breathe
In every smile, or tear you cry
Heavens not too far away
And we,ll never be apart
All of us still live with you
We`re right there, in your heart!!!

An Angel Never Dies
Don’t let them say I wasn’t born, that something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave; I’ve loved you from the start.
Although my body you can’t hold, it doesn’t mean I’m gone
This world was worthy not of me, God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul; what you are forced to face
You have my word I’ll fill your arms, someday we will embrace.
You’ll hear that it was meant to be – God doesn’t make mistakes
But that won’t soften your worst blow, or make your heart not ache.
I’m watching over all you do, another babe you will bear
Believe me when I say to you, that I’ll be always there.
There’ll come a time I promise you, when you will hold my hand
Stroke my hair and kiss my face, and then you’ll understand.
Although I’ve never breathed your air, or gazed into your eyes
That doesn’t mean I never “was” – an angel never dies.
