Before I get on to my card, I just wanted to take a few minutes to remember my beautiful little boy Harvey, who was born sleeping on 19th Feb 3yrs ago. Mummy & Daddy hope you're having a little party somewhere sweetheart, love and miss you always.
I hope no one minds me putting the poem that was read at Harvey's funeral on here. I have no idea who wrote it, I found it on the internet and it said everything we wanted to say. We have it on a little handmade plaque at home.
O precious, tiny, sweet little one
You will always be to me
So perfect, pure and innocent
Just as you were meant to be
We dreamt of you and of your life
And all that it would be
We waited and longed for you to come
And join our family
We never had the chance to play
To laugh, to rock, to wiggle
We long to hold you, touch you now
And listen to you giggle
I'll always be your mother
He'll always be your dad
You'll always be our child
The child that we had
But now you're gone, but yet you're here
We'll sense you everywhere
You are our sorrow and our joy
There's love in every tear
Just know our love goes deep and strong
We'll forget you never
The child we had but never had
And yet we'll have forever
I'll move on to my card now. It's for this week's Fairy Fun Fridays challenge, which is 'brads & buttons' - I had a stupid moment and had my card nearly made before it dawned on me that I hadn't actually used any brads or buttons, so I quickly added the flowers with button & brad centres! The image was a freebie from Prairie Fairy - I think you can still get this one for free on the Prairie Fairy blog. I've coloured this little cutie in with promarkers & used an inverted corner punch on the corners. The papers are MME, cardstock is DCWV, sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.

I can understand your pain, I lost a little tiny one on march 18th 2005. 22 weeks pregnancy, so tiny but so strong, life can be so cruel, but love always win.
sending you big hugs, and maybe Harvey is playing with my little Catherine somewhere :)

Lisa...I am moved to tears by your poem. I am so sorry your little boy is not here to celebrate this Birthday. We are celebrating my own son's 24th Birthday today. As we blow out the candles I will silently think of you and offer a prayer and reflect upon your poem.
Thanks for playing along with us at Midnight Madness this week. Your angel was the perfect image for your post. God Bless!
