6 years ago today....

every year i write a poem for my baby brother who died 4 hours after being born on the 13th october 2006 from trisomy 18 (edwards syndrome)
so i thought i would share is years poem



Its been six years today since an angel opened his eyes
Its been six years today that we were forced to say our good byes
Although your time in our arms was cut short and only brief
its your lasting memories that we have as solis for our grief
The saying goes that it gets easier as time passes us by
but since meeting you dear baby brother, i have learnt this to be a lie
Many things have happened since this day six years ago
and each and every one of these things has helped my heart to grow
but now sitting here and thinking as a mother and a wife
I have a new found respect for the people who gave you life
It takes special kind of people to do what my parents did
and forever i will be thankful for my yougest brother that was a gift
Although i can not touch you now as on this earth you could not stay
i will be thinking of you forever more and its in my heart that you will stay.

happy birthday to you little gabriel

I'm so sorry
