Sam due date: 3rd March 2006
Sam passed away: 1st August 2005.
Sam was our precious child that we never got to meet. He was wanted so much and the minute I found
out that I was carrying him, I wanted him with every ounce of my being.
I had to have an operation whilst pregnant with him and the doctors believe this is why my precious
child slipped away. I blame myself everyday for having this operation and wonder whether he would
still be here today if I hadn't of had this surgery.
I was 12 weeks pregnant when I had my surgery and I was really worried about the risks, the doctors
told me then it was a 10% risk of miscarry but they insisted I had the operation as if my appendix
burst we could have both been in serious trouble. ( I later found out the risk was more like 40%
than 10%) To further add to this the doctors said my appendix was fine.
I had my operation on the 25th July 2005 (my mums birthday of all days !) and the next day when I
woke up I thought we'd both be fine, I went home the next day to rest. A couple of days later the
1st August 2005, I went to see my mum and I started to bleed, I knew there and then he was gone, My
partner Sean and my mum were worried and said I should go up to the hospital to get checked out,
after a 3 hour wait in A&E I was transferred up to the Early pregancy unit and to be honest they did
nothing, no scan no tests nothing, just a shot of pethidine because by this point I was in alot of
pain. I had to stay in to be monitored and I really did'nt want to stay because the male midwife was
awful and in the end my mum shouted at him ! Thankfully the shift changed at 9 and a new midwife
called Kathy came on. She was absolutely brilliant. She advised me to get some sleep so my mum and
Sean went home about 10.30. I managed to drop off to sleep and the next thing I remember is waking
up needing the loo.
I was bleeding heavily at this point and buzzed for Kathy and she took one look at me and said we
need a doctor to come and take a look at you,I think you might be hemorraging. The doctor came and
thankfully was a woman ! It was at this point when the doctor was examining me that Sam slipped
away.
I have never felt so alone in all my life, Sean and my mum where on their way and that 20 minutes
felt the longest in my life.
The midwife Kathy was amazing, she never left my side till sean and Mum got there, I will forever be
truly grateful to her.
When I had some time to with Sean, Kathy came in and asked if I would like Sam to be blessed by the
Priest so she rang and asked him to come. By this point she had placed him in a small wooden box and
brought him to us.
The little service was beautiful and meant so much, Sam stayed with me all night, the next morning I
wanted to go home and be with Maya so I took Sam with me. At this point I was given three options
either have the hospital run tests on Sam to find out why he had passed, have him cremated at the
hospital and have his ashes or have a small burial, I chose the burial so that he could be with my
Mums mum, Nanna Edna, I just didn't want him to be on his own. I had Sam at home until his funeral
on 8th August 2005. We had our preist do a small blessing at the graveside.
We tried to keep him here but the angels must have needed him more we pray everyday that he is save
and happy with our special Grandparents who have also passed.
Sam has an older sister Maya and a younger brother Charlie and we will always make sure they
remember their special brother. He will always be part of all our lives.
We love you Sam and think of you everyday and wish you were with us.
Please watch over us all
Sweet dreams our special little man until Mummy and daddy can be with you x x x
Sam's great grandad Walter Hargreaves and his Great Nanna Joyce Hughes (who passed very recently)
also have dedications on Gone too Soon please light a candle for them too, it would bring great
comfort.

have been a huge comfort.
God bless you all

This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. Sorry It's So Early I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________
I will light my candles as usual on Sunday
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All 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 that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

This Tribute Is For Friday Got Busy Day Tomorrow
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved One’s arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turns to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this tribute be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.

Thursday
For Friday
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
This Tribute Is For Friday Busy Tomorrow
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We are all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
