December 19th, 2007




A very sad day…..

The 12 week scan revealed that two of the babies have not survived (identical twins). The little fighters just did not have enough energy to continue on. Words can not express the grief and sadness that we feel right now. Even though the doctor told us that this would be a high-risk pregnancy, we could never have imagined that all of our babies would not survive. We are fortunate knowing that our baby will always have two little angels overseeing its time on earth.

A note to our precious little angels,

Sweethearts, we know you tried hard to stay but it was too difficult for you. We both feel we must have failed you somehow but deep down we know that's not true. The grief is unbearable but we must somehow find a way to go on. We sob every night and wonder what it would have been like to have held you and whether you would have looked like your Mommy or Daddy. We longed to have a hug and hear you call us and play like others do. We know the time has come to finally say goodbye, we'll always love you dearly and our thoughts will never die. To our beloved twins, there is a heaven - until we meet again.

Love,

Mommy & Daddy


‘Autumn & Spring’ (December 19th, 2007)

Silently you slipped away,
from us,
upon the Sabbath day.

Our brave little twins to life you clung,
too soon it’s all over,
before it begun.

No chance we had to hold your hand,
to see you smile,
or watch you stand.

The tears they burn and flow,
for you,
the twins we didn’t know.

We couldn’t tell – Girl, or Boy,
however brief,
you brought us joy.

The pain we feel is oh,
so deep, that you’re not here,
You – we couldn’t keep.

We’ll think about you every day,
and your brother and/or sister,
with you who couldn’t play.

A life so brief brings us sorrow,
only yesterday,
and no tomorrow We need a name for two so dear,
we’ll call you ‘Autumn & Spring’, - three months in every year.

‘Autumn & Spring’ you’ll be with us all year round,
when sun in the sky, or snow on the ground.

‘Autumn & Spring’,
you were here, you were real,
we send you our love,
and your love, we can feel.
