Our angel Jethro was born sleeping at 22 weeks+ 4 days on June 3,2009.This was the saddest and the
most devastating time of our life. We didn't expect it as everything was going alright up to then.We
were so looking forward to having him.We had made plans for his arrival and his 4 year old brother
was already very excited and could not wait for his arrival.
My little angel Jethro was with me from the time he was born up to my discharge which was 9 hours
later. I held him and didn't want to let go. I didn't hurry home coz I know that when I go home I
will be leaving him behind.
To our dear Jethro, we love you so much and we are missing you loads.
We put baby Jethro in his final resting place last June 30,2009. This is the letter that I wrote to
him and was read by a friend during the funeral.
The Story that was You
Mummy remembers the day she found out that she is going to have you. Surge of excitement came over
her when she saw the 2 lines in the pregnancy test. She not only used one but 20 kits because she
could not believe and just wanted to make sure. Every time Mummy passed by a Chemist she would buy a
pregnancy kit to make sure that you are really there.
Then came 4 months of morning, noon, afternoon and evening sickness. Although Mummy moaned and
groaned, it still brought joy in her heart knowing that at the end of it all she will have a
beautiful baby that was you.
Every now and then, Mummy goes to the hospital to check if you were alright and she always came home
happy and proud because according to the Doctor you were growing and doing great. The first time
Mummy heard your heartbeat, her heart beats faster because of excitement. You were really doing
great!
Few weeks after that, Mummy and Kuya Samdee excitedly went to the hospital again to see a picture of
you when you were 3 months inside Mummy’s tummy. You were perfect and everything of you were
growing normal which made Mummy, Daddy and Kuya Samdee even more happier.
When you were 5 months in Mummy’s tummy, Daddy took the time off work to go with Mummy to see a
clearer picture of you. We were also excited to know whether you were a boy or a girl. Your picture
brought a big smile to Mummy and Daddy’s faces. Again, you were perfect. You even stuck your
tongue out to us.
Two weeks later, Mummy felt that something is not right and had to go to the hospital with Daddy to
check if you were ok and what was wrong. In Mummy’s heart was the biggest fear that something is
wrong with you.The midwife checked your heartbeat and to our great relief, we could hear it loud and
clear. The midwife said that maybe the pain that Mummy is feeling in her tummy was just nothing but
pressure from your weight. That gave Mummy and Daddy hope that nothing is wrong with you and that
Mummy was just tired from work .When finally the Doctor came and checked Mummy, what she said next
changed their life forever. She said she is afraid that Mummy is going to lose you. Mummy and Daddy
could not believe what they heard.She shouted the loudest NO in her life. Mummy did not care if the
whole world heard her.That was the most painful thing anybody has ever said to Mummy and Daddy. We
will never forget it. Mummy begged the Doctor to do something but she said she might not be able to
do anything anymore. It seemed the wall crumbled on Mummy and Daddy then. We never felt pain like
that in our whole life. Mummy had to lie in bed the whole night with her feet up to try to hold on
to you. She tried her hardest to hold on to you. But as the hours passed, Mummy’s fears were
growing and growing because it seemed that she could not hold on to you anymore. Mummy’s losing
her grip on you and the pain in her heart were mounting at the thought of losing you. When you came
out, Mummy shouted again the biggest WHY in her life. Mummy and Daddy cannot do anything but cry
with great sadness. We wished that it was all just a bad dream, a nightmare and we will wake up and
everything is alright.That day was the saddest day in Mummy and Daddy’s life. Just as Mummy was
about to announce to the world that you are coming in a few months time, you were taken away from
her forever.
Mummy held you in her arms. You are so beautiful, we were right, you are perfect. You look like a
bit of Kuya Samdee and a bit of Daddy. But what is definite is you have Mummy’s nose. Nothing
wrong with that, is there? We named you Jethro, meaning friend of God. You look so much like an
angel that Mummy and Daddy thought that, that name is so you.
When Mummy and Daddy kissed you for the last time, our hearts were gripped with pain and sadness. We
had to say goodbye to you and was not given a chance to say hello. We will never be able to hold and
kiss you again. We will never see you grow up. We will never see your first smile. We will never
hear your first word.
Mummy did not want to let you go, Mummy wanted to take you home, but she had to. Please know that
Mummy tried her hardest to hold on to you, she tried her hardest to keep you. There is nothing in
the world that Mummy would not do to have and keep you, (if only there was). Mummy, Daddy and Kuya
Samdee love you so much our baby Jethro. We also miss you so much that it hurts sometimes seeing
your photo. Although Mummy can no longer hold you in her body, she will forever hold you in her
heart. Goodnight our little angel, sleep peacefully, until we meet again...
Love ,
Mummy
"If roses grow in Heaven, Lord,
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my baby Jethro's arms
And tell him they're from me.
Tell him that I love him,
And when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon his cheek
And hold him for awhile.
Because remembering him is easy,
I do it every day
But there's a pain within my heart
That will never go away."

Angel (Author Unknown)
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another Angel,
And that Angel dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little Angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers, are sent to you,
The short life you led,
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You're beautiful, you're endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your little eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.
Today is the day that you were supposed to be born.Mummy is so sad and wish that you are with her instead of up there. It still hurts so much...I will hold you forever in my heart. Love you my baby angel.
Walk With You Mummy (Author Unknown)
I walk with you my mommy dear,
I'm always with you, always near.
Just look behind as steps you take,
And see my footprints that I make.
They're in your heart when you're asleep,
You feel me kicking when you weep?
I walk with you when you are sad,
But I am happiest when you're glad.
I'm never far away from you,
I'm here in everything you do.
I walk with you if you're in pain,
I steady and help you up again.
And when on earth God calls you high,
I'll light the way mommy, to His sky.
God says I'm a gift mom, purer than gold,
He sent me to love you until you grow old.
You're blessed with an angel from Him above,
You gave me life, and we give you love.
I walk with you for eternity,
I am your angel, mommy look at me!
After making his new angel
God looked down from above
He happened to notice you
And all he saw was love
He said to the angel
"I need to send you there,
There is where you'll be loved
Where you will feel the most care"
So God sent you this angel
To nuture, love and grow
But not an angel you could keep
For it would soon be time to go
You taught this angel wonderful things
That only a mother could do
Your angel learnt compassion and warmth
Whilst living inside of you
This angel was one that would have to leave
One you'd hardly hold
One you'd mourn for the rest of your life
If the truth be told
God realised you'd miss this angel
And so he gave you tears
A way to express your love
Over the coming years
Then God called this angel home
And asked what the angel had learned
The angel said a love so strong
In a mothers heart had burned
"I learnt that love can exist
Even when I've gone
For love never dies you see
I've learnt it carries on"
God looked at the angel
Smiled and gave a sigh
"You have learnt a valuable lesson
That often passes people by"
The angel looked at God and asked
"Why is my mummy so sad?"
God answered "when I called you home
It made her miss what she had;
But soon she will realise
I sent her a special gift
I sent her you my child
Although I took you swift
Her love for you will never wain
You will remain ever in her heart
You will be in her thoughts and feelings
Like you've never been apart"
The angel asked God what this mummy did
To deserve such a wonderful thing
"Your mummy is so pure of heart
she makes the angels want to sing"
The angel thanked God
For giving him such a lovely mum
So you see in loving your angel
Your work is truly done
God didn't wish to punish you
He only showed you love
He gave you a special angel
A gift from heaven above
He knows only a special person
Can be an angel mum
He made us in his image
He lost his only son
He know's just how your heart aches
And wished that wasn't so
But your angel is so happy
In God's heavenly home
So when you think of your angel
Please just smile, don't weep
Be proud that God chose you
To love an angel so sweet
When your heart feels empty
Your life so full of despair
Remember God picked you!
Because no-one else compares

Precious Child
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And I know there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.

The Place Where Little Babies Go.
Fluffy clouds of pink and blue
Where fairytales and dreams come true,
Where teddy bears put on a show
In the place where little babies go.
Where a choir of angels sing on high
A peaceful, Soothing lullaby,
And their feathers flutter down like snow
In the place where little babies go.
Where the sun is shining everyday
In a heavenly sky that’s never grey,
Where love will bloom and always grow
In the place where little babies go.
Where bells will ring and hearts they soar
When a mum and dad walk through its door,
Then only tears of joy will flow
In the place where little babies go.
♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~ ♥~
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says of our love for you.
