Me and my partner Scott have been together for 4 yrs. We already have a 3yr old son Callum. So in
March 06 we decided to give callum alittle brother or sister. After 6months of trying we got the
result we was waiting for. The test was positive. We were both so excited to be having another baby.
We decided to wait alittle while before telling our family, but when we did they were happy for us.
I had my first scan on the 16th january 07. By then i could already feel my baby kicking. We soon
found out i was already 17wks gone and my baby was due on the 20th june. I had another scan 2wks
later and it was then we found out we was expecting another little boy. we was thrilled to be having
another boy. we prepared callum for the new arrival the best we could so he wouldnt b left out. I
was 25wks when my troubles started. My waters broke. I hadnt gone into labour but was kept in
hospital for 4 wks. Also contracted group b strep. I was able to go home with strict instructions to
rest which meant not returning back to work as a faulty goods cleark. I was checked over every 2wks
with a scan to check on my little boy. His growth had slowed down puttin on only half pound every
2wks. So it was decided 10th may i would be induced. We was all excited as well as nervous as he
would be 6wks early. On the 9th May at 6:00am i started havin contractions, after 9 hours at 3:03pm
i held my baby in my arms. He was tiny but perfect weighing at 3lb 13. He didnt cry, just gave
alittle moan. His eyes were wide open staring at me. His dad held him and we both had the biggest
smile. We named our new arrival Hayden Mason. He was took up to the the nnu to be monitored. He
couldnt hold his temperature all that well so was kept in an incubator. We was able to hold him,
cuddle him and he fed really well. On the sunday 13th may he was transferred from the LRI to city
general as he was doing really well. Monday 14th is when everything went down hill. Hayden wouldnt
take his milk and hadnt been for a poo all day. He had been sick but the nurses put it all down to
him being a baby. That night at 3:00am i received a phone call from a nurse saying they had to
ventilate hayden has he has stopped breathing. Tuesday 15th hayden was rushed back to LRI. There i
waited for him to arrive while his dad was at the the general waiting for him to leave. As he
arrived and i saw my little baby boy so tiny and fragile. As his mum i just wanted to help him and
take away his pain. The doctors rushed around him trying to fugure out what was wrong. I stayed by
his side asking him to hold on. Doctors figured out Hayden had an infected bowl and seriously needed
to operate but my little boy just wasnt strong enough. Haydens health was deteriating fast. So on
the 16th May 07 at just gone 12:00am my baby boy was placed in my arms. Myself, my partner and all
our family was with Hayden as he took his lasts breath. My world fell apart. It took me 3hrs before
i could leave Hayden at the hospital and go home. We had a lovely funeral for him on the 29th May
07. We had a horse drawn carriage and 3 limo's. We held his funeral at St Margarets chruch and then
had him buried in gilroes cemetray in a lovely new childrens area. The funeral went by in a haze. I
think about Hayden everyday and talk about him all the time to my older son callum. He will always
be in my heart and thoughts.
I love you so much Hayden Mason, God only takes the special ones and one of them was u. x x x x x x

Special Angel Day - by Sam & Gordon Winson

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Our Eternal love

This is the Poem that was read at Hayden's funeral.

Our tears ran through your hair
washing over soft, still warm skin.
Each precious moment with you in our arms
to be held in our hearts for a lifetime.

How were we so strong
when the time came to let you go?
and why does the strength fail us now
in the dark when we ache to hold you so.

We long to care for you now
but what can those left behind you do?
Only memories and tributes left,
unworthy of the perfection of you.

If the world sang out your name
until th planet collides with the moon
we would ask nature to play it again
to repay what it took from us too soon.

For you are worth the sun
our baby now cradled by the stars
beyond our reach while we still live
but forever held in our hearts.
