My little angel Alexander, he only lived for 2 minutes but in those 2 minutes my heart was filled with a love i had never felt before and the minute he died my world stopped.
Over the years my heart has learnt to heal with the love of 2 more beautiful children and gradually everyday gets easier but there is not a day i don't think about or miss my angel.

Sleep tight little one. xxxxxxx

I'm sure you'll remember him every day for the rest of your life.

It's lovely to hear he touched you so positively.

My baby is 6 in a couple of weeks. I feel for you.

Two minutes in this world and a lifetime in your heart. Thinking of you, Alexander and the rest of your family on this important day.

Hi OrangeMoon - thinking of you and your darling Alexander today.

So sad for you.

April this year marked 6 years since I too lost my firstborn (stillborn) ? Also called Alexander - so I really do feel for you and understand what you are going through.

Val. xx

Thankyou everyone, what makes today harder is dp hasn't called of even text me to see if i'm ok, he normally does on Alexanders birthday but he hasn't this time, been on my own most of the day with not a lot to do, tried to keep busy but there is only so much cleaning i can do.
Actually come to think of it no-one has called me to see how i am, not even my mum, i couldn't even get up to the cemetary as there was no time in-between dropping dd and ds off at school and nursery as its such a long way away, and they shut a 4pm in winter.

sorry, i waffled on there, just need to offload a few things today, no-one else seems to want to know.

Perhaps you could use today to write him a letter, and then take it up when you can get to the Cemetary? It may make you feel as if you have commemorated today, iyswim.

Thankyou Peachy, that is a lovely idea.
I made him a birthday cake this morning, as i do every year and the kids will help blow out the candles for him later.
Will be visiting the cemetary on saturday and releasing a balloon for him.

The birthday cake is a lovely idea- hope you dont mind if I pass it to my Copusin, who lost his Son not that long ago (a year and a bit) aged six. He's split from his wiffe, so finds it ahrd to know what to do as he isn't welcome at the Cemetary on the anniversary
