This is our beautiful baby boy Charlie and this is his story.
Born at 25 weeks gestation; 15 weeks too early weighing 2lb 1oz.
He wasnt expected to survive the traumatic birth we both had to go through.....but he did.
At 2 days old he had a grade 4 IVH (brain bleed) and he wasnt expected to survive the night.....but
he did.
At 9 days old he was rushed to alder hey for an emergency operation on his bowel; they had to leave
his bowel on the surface of his tummy until it repaired itself.....he recovered better than
expected.
Little Charlie was such a fighter and seemed to be going from strength to strength. Breathing on
CPAP, no longer needing the ventilator, he even started having small amounts of mummys milk.
Then something started to go wrong, he stopped weeing, back on the ventilator, and the doctors didnt
know why?
Then at 24 days old a brain scan showed a build up of fluid and he was diagnosed with PVL.
The doctors basically told us that his quality of life would be worse than we could imagine. So we
decided guided by the doctors to let Charlie go asleep with the angels.
We changed his nappy and dressed him; then that night they brought him to us in a little room; no
ventilator, no wires, just our Baby Charlie with his Mummy and Daddy.
He exceded the doctors expectations and breathed for 5 hours by himself. In that time we talked to
him, sang to him, told him about his Big Brother Mikey and how much we all loved him. He took his
last breath at 11.00pm on the 3/8/2009. They were the best 5 hours of his short little life and the
best 5 hours of ours. He was such a little fighter and we will never forget him, ever.
Goodnight our beautiful baby boy, love you more than you can imagine. Sleep peacefully with the
angels xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Today would have been your eagerly awaited due date. I know it doesnt mean anything, but its the last milestone which makes me sad :(
Mummy Daddy and Mikey love you all the world and we will never ever forget you. You were so beatiful just like your brother was when he was born.
Mikey always looks for the brightest star in the sky and tells us "there's Charlie!!" and we know it is you shining down to let us know you are safe and sound.
Even though you are not here anymore you will live on in our hearts forever and ever.
Sending lots of love and Big Big kisses to our beautiful baby boy.....Charlie
Mummy, Daddy and Mikey Xx Xx Xx

Love you x x x x

I'm going to tell you something
I hope you'll never have to know.
I'll tell you how a heart can break
And tears can constant flow.

I lost my baby boy you see,
An angel in my eyes.
God chose to take his hand one day
And led him to the skies.

But please do not forget my child.
He was a person too.
And forever he will live
Inside of me and you.

Just tell me he is happy
in that land way up above
He's snuggled in an angel's wings
All wrapped in Mummy's love.

How can I say goodbye?

How can I say Good Bye
When I only just said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For my child I'll never know?

You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.

I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.

I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.

I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.

I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.

You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one.

Charlie

Hey, it must be something about the name. my darling son Charlie was also born at 25 weeks and fought for 14 weeks. Defying everything the doctors said he bounced back. Sadly he decided when he wanted to go and he left us 14 july 2009, but now it gives me comfort to think that all these angels will be playing together in heaven. R.i.p Beautiful boy and have fun up there with my charlie xxxx

Miss you so much my beautiful boy xxx

When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see...
If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me,
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today...
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you...
And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand,
He said my place was ready in heaven far above...
And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart...
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart
