Elijah was a beauitful boy who was born on his due date with no complications, shortly after he had breathing problems and had many tests to find out what was wrong, he had a gentetic condition that my husband and I didn't know we carried called non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, which cause's brain damage,seizures and a coma like state.
We had Elijah to kiss and hold for two weeks, for most of that time he was in hospital hooked up to machines, he never woke up, we never saw his eyes, he never fed, he only let out one short cry the day after we took him off life support, he continued to breathe so we got to bring him home for a few days, his strong heart kept him with us until early christmas morning then he was gone. He left behind two heartbroken parents and nanny and a adoring big sister that was nearly three. He will always be missed and thought of with love. we may not have got to see who he would have grown up to be but i was given a very precious gift a glimpse of my son Elijah Lucas it was such a strong sense of who he was that it brought me to tears just before we found out i was pregnant, he was to be someone who was so beautiful caring and giving that he would sacrifice himself for others and that he would travel and go far away. And he did travel in a helicopter to melbourne and back and his dna was sent to sydney, japan and canada, and his soul to heaven.
Elijah we love you so much and you have touched our hearts and souls forever we will never be the same. We believe you helped watch over your brother Sebastian when he was born with the same condition and he has just reached his second birthday, Even though we have lost you and it has hurt so much we are thankful to God that we got to meet you and love you, and hope that we get to see you again some day . miss you heaps, love you lots! xoxox mummy daddy isabella and your little brother sebastian and nanny xoxox
Little Brother - by Christie Wildman
For your other children XX
You have this little Brother,
He loves you very much,
But you’ll never get to see him,
Or feel his gentle touch.
He had to go away you see,
Through God’s garden gates.
Though he longs to meet you,
Heaven’s where he waits.
You have this little Brother,
He’s sending you his love,
Although he longs to be with you,
He watches from above.
He grew his Angel wings you see,
Though none of us were ready,
On one of heavens clouds he sleeps,
Cuddling his teddy.
You have this little Brother,
He’d love to come and play.
But for all eternity,
In the sky is where he’ll stay.
God had a plan you see,
He needs him by his side,
He’s shown him how to use his wings,
Through heavens clouds he glides.
You have this little Brother,
And though you are apart,
The love that you feel for him,
Will remain ever in your heart.
To The Child I'll Never Know - by Gloria Dianne
How can I say Good Bye
When I never said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For the child I'll never know?
You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.
I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.
I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.
I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.
I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.
You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one.
