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.......

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?
Merry Christmas

My Christmas Wish For You
My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.

Dear Mum
Mum please know I’m safe and sound
Cos I’m in gods care
And when its time for you to come
I promise I will meet you there
At heavens gate I will wait for you
As I long for our first hug
And I promise you will see
That I’m happy in the heavens above.
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away,
we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones.
You know I hold you dear
and be glad I'm spending
Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you.
So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
Along the shore I spy a ship
As she sets out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.
I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she’s but a speck,
Then someone says, “She’s gone.”
Gone where? Gone only from our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear
To other eager eyes.
Beyond the dim horizon’s rim
Resound the welcome drums,
And while we’re crying, “There she goes!”
They’re shouting, “Here she comes!”
We’re built to cruise for but a while
Upon this trackless sea
Until one day we sail away
Into infinity.
