Alfie and Millie were born 9th July 2008, Alfie weighed 6.9lb and Millie was 6.1lb. We had been told
that there was a problem with Alfie's little heart, but it was not until he was born and a week
later did the doctors discover that little Alfie had many other problems.

Alfie was born with Half heart syndrome, two other heart conditions, no spline, his stomach was on
the wrong side and he had fluid on his lungs, not the best deck of cards to be dealt, but to look at
him he was perfect.

At Birmingham's Children Hospital, My sister asked me why? All I could say was "I don't know, but
the way I see it. Is Alfie had to see that his Sister was ok and you were ok, and now he has to go
and make everything nice up there for when we go, and when it is your time he will be the first
person you will meet"

Alfie was and is our perfect little man. He was such a calm little baby, never made any real fuss,
only a little cry when he was hungry. I make more noise at meal times!!.

Alfie made his time here a lovely one, luckly he was not hooked up to any machines, he did not have
to have any meds to help him through the final moments and when he did pass away, he did it in his
own perfect little way. His mommy put him down to sleep and got his sisters ready for Grandma's, so
while she was busy he drifted away calmly and peacefully.

Alfie was only with us and his twin Sister Milly for such a short time, but such a wonderful time.

Millie will always have a part of her brother with her, as she was named Millie Alfie May. Millie is
as perfect as her brother and doing very well. She is just as calm and loving as her brother, She
has one of the best smiles for a 3month old. I could watch her all day.

Little Alfie you may have had a weak heart, but it was strong enough to touch so many people, we are
very lucky to have known you and so lucky to have had one whole month of your lovely cuddles. I miss
you looking up from my shoulder, See you Laters mate. Love you xxx

On behalf of my sister I would like to thank all the nurses at Birmingham Children's Hospital, also
Shrewsbury and Telford hospital for taking such great care of this little family, they do a
wonderful job with little reward.


The evening Alfie fell asleep a piece of me ( his mommy) died too, you can always keep that with you
so you will always have your mommy with you my sweet baby boy.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE


THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY (BUSY DAY FOR ME)


Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.

You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.
