Joshua's all too brief life was filled with love. He was younger brother to Robert & Brooke and older brother to Lillian & Rosalie.

We miss him everyday.

Some nights, going to bed, I try to recall the weight of you in my arms or the smell of your head. I imagine everyday what you would look like (just like your father). I imagine how much better our lives would have been, how we could have held it all together, if we'd just had the chance to have you longer. I miss you and I thank God for the gift of you. I wouldn't trade my lifetime’s worth of pain in for never having loved you.

I try to find ways to make our lives worth living without you. I try to make everything we do a memorial to you. Every year that passes, I think I'll be better, less sad, but I never am. I hate the time of year that I had you because I think back and I miss you. I hate the time of year that I didn't have you because I think of all the things you missed and that we missed with you.

I love you, Joshie, and I hope to be with you again someday. I know your brother and sisters miss you. I know your dad does too, terribly.

Birthday Remembrance
Thinking of you on your birthday Joshua
But that is nothing new
For no day dawns and no day ends
Without a thought of you.

We cannot send a birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA

Gifts From Heaven

A tiny golden butterfly
Perched upon my sill
His wings he fluttered gently
To give my heart a thrill.

On the wind I heard a song
Sung with pure delight
Trilled by a tiny bluebird
Such a lovely sight!

Through my window drifted
A fragrance oh so sweet
From newly blooming flowers
Came this lovely special treat.

I'm touched by gentle breezes
The sun warms my frame
I feel the gentle raindrops
I count them all the same.

They are gifts to us from heaven
To cheer us each new day
Sent by someone special
With love in everyway.

After making his new angel
God looked down from above
He happened to notice you
And all he saw was love

He said to the angel
"I need to send you there,
There is where you'll be loved
Where you will feel the most care"

So God sent you this angel
To nuture, love and grow
But not an angel you could keep
For it would soon be time to go

You taught this angel wonderful things
That only a mother could do
Your angel learnt compassion and warmth
Whilst living inside of you

This angel was one that would have to leave
One you'd hardly hold
One you'd mourn for the rest of your life
If the truth be told

God realised you'd miss this angel
And so he gave you tears
A way to express your love
Over the coming years

Then God called this angel home
And asked what the angel had learned
The angel said a love so strong
In a mothers heart had burned

"I learnt that love can exist
Even when I've gone
For love never dies you see
I've learnt it carries on"

God looked at the angel
Smiled and gave a sigh
"You have learnt a valuable lesson
That often passes people by"

The angel looked at God and asked
"Why is my mummy so sad?"
God answered "when I called you home
It made her miss what she had;

But soon she will realise
I sent her a special gift
I sent her you my child
Although I took you swift

Her love for you will never wain
You will remain ever in her heart
You will be in her thoughts and feelings
Like you've never been apart"

The angel asked God what this mummy did
To deserve such a wonderful thing
"Your mummy is so pure of heart
she makes the angels want to sing"

The angel thanked God
For giving him such a lovely mum
So you see in loving your angel
Your work is truly done

God didn't wish to punish you
He only showed you love
He gave you a special angel
A gift from heaven above

He knows only a special person
Can be an angel mum
He made us in his image
He lost his only son

He know's just how your heart aches
And wished that wasn't so
But your angel is so happy
In God's heavenly home

So when you think of your angel
Please just smile, don't weep
Be proud that God chose you
To love an angel so sweet

When your heart feels empty
Your life so full of despair
Remember God picked you!
Because no-one else compares

I DONT WANT DIAMONDS
I DONT WANT GOLD
ALL I WANT IS YOU TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
I WANT YOU SO BAD TO BE BY MY SIDE
SO I DONT HAVE TO KEEP MY FEELING LOCKED INSIDE
INSIDE MY HEART WHERE NO-ONE CAN SEE
I SO WANT YOU TO BE PART OF ME
TO BE BY MY SIDE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
KEEP ME SAFE AND KEEP ME STRONG
I WANT TO BE HERE FOR YOU TOO
TO SHARE PRECOIUS MOMENTS THAT MUCH IS TRUE
TO GIVE YOU LOVE ALL YOUR HEART CAN HOLD
THAT TO ME IS BETTER THAN DIAMONDS OR GOLD
