Callum John Gaskell
2nd.April.2002
Born sleeping.
when i found out i was pregnant with twins i was over the moon and so was my partner john.i was only 18 but that didnt bother me.my pregnancy was running smooth until i reached 35 weeks then it all went horribly wrong.
John had gone out with his dad and my mum had tried ringing me all day and could not get through so she told my dad something was wrong as she could not get hold of me and that she was coming round to my house.when my mum came found she looked through my dining room window to find me collapsed on the floor.i was not moving and i was in a pool of water.
My mum called the emergency services as she could not get in. the polce had to break my front door to get in as i was thrashing around and moaning.they took me to hospital with a police escort to get me there quicker.when i got there i was put on life support machine.my babies where delivered my emergengy c section 2 minutes apart.
Caitlin was first born and she went to intensive care as she had breathing difficulties.they took callum away and he never came back they told my family they did all the could.
I had sweeling on my brain which was still there the day after.i came out of my coma a day later i kept saying my bellys not growing at which point the doctor brought caitlin over i looked at her and said nice baby but she is not mine. rejected her for three days as i could not get my head round what had happened.i had numerous brain scans that showed the the swelling is still there to this day.i am lucky to be alive and i cant thank my mum enough.we lost callum that day in body but he will never be forgotten in our hearts.

Story of the waterbugs and Dragonflys
Waterbugs and Dragonflies : Explaining Death to Young Children"
Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were
very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in awhile one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going
about. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.
"Look!" said one of the water bugs to another. "One of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think she is going?" Up, up, up it slowly went....Even
as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn't return...
"That's funny!" said one water bug to another. "Wasn't she happy here?" asked a second... "Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third.
No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the water bugs, a leader in the colony, gathered its friends together. "I have an idea". The next one
of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why."
"We promise", they said solemnly.
One spring day, not long after, the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up, he went. Before he knew what
was happening, he had broke through the surface of the water and fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above.
When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver
wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings...The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. He moved his
wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water. He had become a dragonfly!!
Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to
rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were scurrying
around, just as he had been doing some time before.
The dragonfly remembered the promise: "The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will come back and tell where he or she went and why." Without thinking,
the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water...
"I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least, I tried. But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new
body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. Then they'll understand what has happened to me, and where I went."
And the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air.......

We have shared our tears and our sorrow
we have given encouragement to each other
given hope for a brighter tomorrow
we share the title of GRIEVING MOTHER ~~
Some of us lost older daughters or sons
who we watched grow over the years
some have lost their babies before their lives begun
but no matter the age, we cry the same tears ~~
We understand each others pain
the bond we share is very strong
with each other there is no need to explain
the path we walk is hard and long ~~
Our children brought us together
they didn't want us on this journey alone
they knew we needed each other
to survive the pain of them being gone ~~
So take my hand my friend
we may stumble and fall along the way
but we'll get up and try again
because together we can make it day by day ~~
We can give each other hope
we'll create a place where we belong
together we will find ways to cope
because we are angel mums
and together we are strong ~~

Happy christmas x
Misty Christmas Memories
Gentle snowflakes touch my face
As a tear trails down my cheek
Among crowds and glistening tinsel
Your face, I once more seek.
Another year has come to pass
With not once glimpse of you
Except in dreams, you visit me
In shades of hazy blue.
Christmas time will soon be here
I long to see your face
Just once again, to see your smile
And dream of your embrace.
Christmas time is boxed up
In tones of purple hue
It's wrapped in misty memories
And laced with thoughts of you.
My special nephew Callum xxx

faling leaves xxxxxxx
Leaves that blow from autumn trees
Prepare the way for winter freeze
To chart the paths of moving time
A cycle plays out nature's rhyme
Though sometimes leaves do fall in spring
The sound's an unfamiliar ring
New from buds the leaves they form
They grow amidst the sun so warm
So why do some release their bounds?
And tumble gently towards the ground
To disconnect from what they know
And sacrifice the chance to grow
Only god can know these things
And why he calls for leaves in spring
Perhaps leaves choose to ride the wind
To find some place to start again
XX all my love Claire xxxxxxxxx
xmas
Hi my little man Hope you had a lovely day with all your angels friends.Mummy was thinkin of you all day and missed you so much Love you millions xx
One Christmas Wish
One Christmas wish x
I guess if I could make just one Christmas wish,
I would wish I could see you.
To hold, to snuggle, to just kiss,
This is something I'd really like to do.
My arms ache for my baby Boy,
Who will always remain just that.
To never grow and experience joy,
I wish I knew where you were at.
Why is it God thought he needed you more than I,
And why is it wishes can't come true?
I am just an aching heart who can only ask why,
And a mother who can't let go of you.
Please God grant me this one Christmas wish,
If just for a minute, an hour or a day.
He is someone I really need & miss,
What more must I say?
