Our Little Lion. After losing 2 baby's we found out we were pregnant again. My husband and I were
over the moon. The first 3 months was the most uncertain time ever. Is this going to be third time
lucky? We only started relaxing on week 14. We knew this one was going to stick. The pregnancy
went very well and at 20 weeks we found out it is a boy!!! My husband immediately went and bought
his son's first rugby outfit (Johannesburg Golden Lions). He was so excited and swore his son was
going to be a great and famous rugby player. We named him Henry Peter after my husband's decieced
brother. The time just seemed to rush by and the birth of our son was getting closer and closer.
At 34 weeks I went to a photographer to have some pictures taken of the bump I was so proud of.
Could't wait to hold him in my arms. All went well and at 35 weeks our doctor said that Henry was a
breach baby and we are going to do a c-cection. We decided to do it on 22 July 2008. Unfortunately
he didnt make it that far. 2 days after we saw the doctor he started to turn and his ambilical cord
went around his neck. Our baby boy was stillborn on 29 June 2008 weighing 2.146kg and 43cm. All
our hopes and dreams were shattered! Our Little Lion was gone! We burried him on July 4th 2008.
After all this, where do you start picking up the pieces? 2 miscarages and a stillborn. Are we
ment to have any children at all??? Now my husband is an extreme introvert. Suffer in silance you
might say. But we did decide to try again only once more. And as soon as possible. We are praying
for twins this time, a boy and a girl!!! Though the first two baby's did not have any names yet
they and our little Henry will forever be in our hearts. And we love and cherish them as much as
the twins we are going to have.
----HAPPY NEW YEAR

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 we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
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.
As New Year approaches
It seems harder this time of year
We miss you so much more
The only thing that gets us through
Are the memories of before
So here's a card just for you
To show how much we care
I know your waiting with the angels
One day I'll see you there.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

New Years Day
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And 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,
Ward working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the BEST
If we could have a lifetime wish
And one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
Hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
And neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
And precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet
Some are really brilliant
Full of light sharp and clear
While others are more subdued
To both you can adhere
You are a flower in my garden
That makes up my bouquet
My friends you all make
A very impressive display
With Love From Helen 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

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!!!
Message for our grandson
We have waited a long time to meet you, counting down the time we couldn't wait for that day to finally come, but sadly we had the privilege to hold your tiny little body only once after you were born, and then we had to let you go to be the most beautiful little angel in heaven. We know that you will be waiting with your other little angel friends to be reunited with us one day, then we can hold and love you forever. We love you very much and we miss you everyday, you have a special place in our hearts that only belongs to you and you took a piece of ours with you to keep until we meet again. We know that you are happy, safe and loved where you are at the moment and sometimes it helps to ease the pain of losing you so soon. Maybe it will get easier as time goes by, but we will never forget you and will always love you. You will always be our precious little lion cub who had to leave to soon. Love always. Grandpa Nico & Grandma Chrisna. XXX
