Our baby boy Samuel was born at 9am on 5 April
2010, 3 days before his due date. He weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and
apart from his cleft lip and palate looked perfect. He was with us
for 55 very precious hours, during which he had lots of cuddles, got
to meet his family and friends and to come home before passing
away peacefully. I'm so glad and grateful that we had this time with
him.
Although Samuel's life could only be measured
in hours he has had a big impact on our lives and our house feels
empty without him.
Knowing that his life was not a mistake, that his
days and purpose were planned and that we will meet again one day
has made this journey so much easier.
He has made it safely to heaven and didn’t bump
himself on the ceiling on his way up, as his big brother Ben was
worried he might. Samuel is greatly missed and will always be part
of our family.

We found out that Samuel, our sixth child, has
trisomy 13 at the 19-week scan (confirmed by an amnio). It's been an
incredibly hard time but we have been surrounded by very supportive
and loving family and friends and have gradually come to a stage of
peace and acceptance.
At the last scan 2 weeks ago the doctor was
surprised to see that Samuel was growing normally and that heart
abnormalities previously seen had disappeared. He's a really active
little boy and we're looking forward to meeting him very soon.
