ღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღAlex Matcham is the beloved son of Joanne
Dolling & Daniel Matcham. He was born on April 9th 2008. Everything was perfect after 13hrs of
labour,worth every moment,we fell in love instantly! We took Alex home the next day to meet his
excited big brothers Alfie,Aiden & Aaron,He also met all our family & friends. Our family was
complete.We settled into normal routine... Until my dad sadly passed away on 30th October,I love dad
dearly & was very upset but knew dad would want us to carry on as normal so I decided for Alfies 7th
birthday 1st November we would still have his party as planned,I knew it wasnt going to be the
greatest birthday but little did I realise when we all woke that morning that it was going to turn
into the worst,most heartbreaking day of my life. We dont know how Alex died as I understand it the
coroner has found no cause of death...we are awaiting an Iquest date..but to me it dosent matter I
just wish life had a rewind button...I can ask why,why Alex,why me,why us...my head is full of hows
& whys but it wont bring my angel back. I love & miss him so much Id rather be glad for the time we
had...I will always remember the love we shared. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ALEX.....ALWAYS &
FOREVER.♡ღ♥ღ♡ღ♥ღ♡ღ♥ღ♡ღ♥ღ♡

PLEASE READ....I would like to thank everyone that lights candles for Alex,thankyou for your
constant support,thoughts & love.Thankyou all so much for your support & understanding. INQUEST 4TH
MARCH 2009..... Today was a very upsetting day,test results show Alex had nothing wrong with him,he
was not ill,he had not had an accident & nobody knows why my Little man is not here,a verdict of
sudden unexplained death in infancy was recorded. Its hard to except & but all other possibilities
were investigated. I can only console myself with the fact he seemed to have not struggled or
suffered....my sleepy Angel just forgot to wake up...there is no reason for his death but I would
rather it be like this,I maybe suffering,I may be in pain without Alex but at least it seems he was
not. We love you so much Little man,so much it hurts but I dont mind,love & miss you always &
forever my beautiful fattyboy.Xx

You Gave You Took Away - by Sharon Wheeler

As I travel across this land
There is something missing today
It’s my Angel child
The one God took away

He gave me that beautiful child
Then he took them straight away
What was the point I asked
As I knelt down and prayed

I never got to see my child play
And grow like all the others
I thought Lord that was my job
A child, and me to be the Mother.

I never even got any warning
Nothing was ever said
I woke up that sunny morning
To find my sweet child dead.

You gave them life, you stole it
You broke my heart in two
Why? Why? Dear Lord
That’s all I ask from you?

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

(Author unknown)

Lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
Sure as the moon shining on your sweet face
Be rest assured you will be safe
In this place

The sweetest gift
God has given me
Graced with the tiniest beauty
These eyes have seen
Soft as the song of a winter wind
Sheltered by love
A love that will never end

Life so often a mystery
And each of us seeking a clue
To an answer I never thought I’d find
When I lost you
But in your time with me
Somehow you taught me to see
Just as in life
Even in death
You always will be here with me

So lay down my child
Close your eyes one more time
Let the night take you softly into sleep
And on to your maker you will fly
Low as the angels sing you a lullaby

Take a moment of your day
To maybe sit and in your mind
Think of all the precious babies
Yours, theirs and mine

Those whose short lives were over
Before they had really ever begun
Those precious little bundles
Who have made us all a Mum

Their tiny lives have touched us all
And what I want to say
They have brought us all together
Each and every day

The babies whose beautiful faces
In our minds forever will be
Whose names are etched within our hearts
For anyone, the whole world to see

The babies who touched our lives
Who we think of through our tears
I hope in time we will be able to smile
When we remember them through the years

So this week while we remember
All our babies who had to go
We shall show the world we are united
And how we love and miss them so

tributes for the weekend xxxxx

FOR FRIDAY 25TH SEPTEMBER

Good Bye

I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.

Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”

So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.

But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.

You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.

FOR SATURDAY

If I Had One Last Day


If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied

I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay

You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"

Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"

If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart

If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.

FOR SUNDAY


Letter From Heaven For My Family........


When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
