Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
Missed loads your always be in my heart.
Our baby son was very much loved; Alfie we found out that you had an heart condition when I was 21
weeks 6 days pregnant.
We were very much upset but we know our little boy was a fighter.
You was born on 20-11-2007 weighing 5 LB 4 OZ and we was over the moon but also very scared, we had
lots of cuddles with you which we didn't think we would be able to as we was told that you might be
very sick and may need to go straight to NICU, but you was a fighter, even Auntie Sam had a cuddle.
For the next couple of days we had lots more cuddles and so did your big brothers Charlie & Billy
also Grandma, Grandad, Nanny and Grandad.
The day before your operation we was told that you had only 30% chance to live when getting your
surgery, then when you was just 3 days old you had your operation which took over 9 hours.
You came back from your operation, again you was a fighter.
Over the next few days our love for you grow stronger and every moment we spent with you we will
always be grateful for.
Daddy was so happy that you spent his birthday with him and thanks you for his card you made him.
Watching you with your big brothers Charlie & Billy made me so happy that you all got that chance to
be together.
You had your picture taken with Father Christmas and you spent christmas day with your loving
family.
My heart took lots of pictures that i will always cherish, thank you for that.
But on 28th December 2007 you went to play with the angels.
We never had the chance to take you home or to see you smile, play or laugh but you brought that to
us every moment we spent with you.
I will cherish the 38 days i spent with you and you will always stay in my thoughts and heart.
Miss you lots, sleep well Alfie untill we meet again and have lots of cuddles just like before.
Daddy got a tattoo of a poem that Auntie Sam wrote about you from Daddy.
I also got a tattoo on my foot of your foot print with your name, daddy got another tattoo in memory
of you on his arm your name on building blocks.
Billy's football club put a Remembrance page on their site and in our local newspaper for you.
Everyone that did'nt meet you came to say good bye to you.
All my love to you, be good my little angel Alfie.
Daddy, me, Charlie and Billy are going to Royal Brompton Hospital on sunday 5th Oct 08 to your 1st
year remembrance.
In tears I saw you sinking,
I watched you fade away.
You suffered much in silence,
you fought so hard to stay.
You faced your task with courage.
Your spirit did not bend,
and still you kept on fighting until the very end.
God saw you getting tired.
When a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me".
So when I saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain.
I could not wish you back
to suffer that again.
♥I Love You Alfie♥
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND G.T.S FRIENDS FOR ALL THE SURPORT THEY HAVE
GIVEN US.
My little angel
Hello Alfie,
You would of been 10 weeks old today, i miss you so much.
It has been 5 weeks since you left us.
Hope you are playing with all the other angels
Went to see you the other day i had a good chat to you, i just wish you was here with me.
I am sorry for not protecting you.
Love you loads, always in my heart xxxxxxx
a little angel in the sky
my heart bleeds out for mammy daddy and family, i just came across and couldnt help but pay respect, i was reading your very sad story of the very few days you had with little one and how everyday was a special day because you got to spend more time with alfie.. i couldnt help but cry when i read about him and looked at his pictures.. you both must be very proud of the little fighting angel.. and i will say that he is absolutely gorgous boy.... all my love goes to you and the family xxxx
In a baby castle just beyond my eye,
My babys plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who am I to wish them back,
Into this world of strife?
No, play on my babys,
You have eternal life.
At night when all is silent
And sleep forsakes my eyes
I’ll hear their tiny footsteps come running to my side.
There little hands caress me, so tenderly and sweet.
I’ll breathe a prayer and close my eyes and embrace them in my sleep.
Now I have a treasure that I rate above all other,
I have known true glory – I am still their mother
I hope this poem gives some comfort x
Sweet dreams Alfie, your gone but will never be forgotten. loads of hugs and kisses from all your family, always thinking of you.
Apart of me is with you always.
Miss you loads, wish you was with me, can't wait to give you more cuddles.
Mummy, Daddy and your big brothers Charlie & Billy loves you very much. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
~its hard for us to fathom
no one truly understands
that this child that has been taken
is now tenderly in gods hands
cared for and nurtured by the father
he will grow and mature in his love
while angels guide and keep him
in his heavenly home above
they will tell him he is special
and that you love him even more so today
as they spend countless hours
preparing for your reunion one day
they will take him to the edges of heaven
and let him look often down below
to see the loved ones left down here
that he didnt get time to know
so as you gaze up into the sky
know he is now in a glorious place
and maybe hes looking back at you
searching for a smile upon your face
for i am certain in his heart
it grieves him to see you cry
and if he could he would tell you
its see you later~not goodbye~
im so sorry to read about alfie, hes such a beautiful baby, i too lost my daughter in august last yeat to HLHS but unlike you it went undetected during my pregnancy, they didnt know until the day we took her to hospital.
i know what your going through its so hard, it does get easier believe me, especially if you got all your family there for you.at least you got 38 precious days with him those you will never forget and will treasure forever.
once again im sorry for your loss, love to the family, take care michelle xx
I don't consider myself to be a particularly sensitive person, but stories like this break my heart. And if it hurts me, a total stranger, I can only imagine what you're going through.
I'm not sure if having him through Christmas made losing him easier or not---but I think that, either way, it's what you needed. I'm glad that, at the very least, you were able to spend that day together.
I offer my deepest condolences and wish you strength during your heartache.
