Benjamin William Joseph Stanley was born on 17th December 2007 at Gloucester Royal Hospital at 6:06 pm he was 14 weeks early and weighed 850g and although he was so early he was doing really well and was so perfect,he got to meet everyone in the family his two sisters Lauren who is 8 and Katie who is 5 and his brother Matthew who was 2 at the time.When Ben was in Gloucester he got ill a few times which his stomach swelled up so on the third time he got ill he was 5 weeks old we were called in as they was sure he was not going to make it as he had necrotizing enterocolitus. my husband asked if the times before when he got ill was the same as all the symptoms were the same as before but the doctor said no the other times were a viral infection,Ben made it through another night and carried on fighting just like he did from the moment he was born.Ben was transfered to St Michael's Hospital in Bristol on 18th January he under went an operation to see how much of his gut was dead but it seemed it was all infected so they decided to put him on some anti biotics to see if that would help repair some of his gut.Ben showed signs of getting better which we were very pleased to hear so they did another operation to see if the gut had repaired its self but we were gave the devastating news that all his gut was dead and there was nothing more they could do.Ben died in mine and Chris's arms on 28th January 2008 at 6:30pm,he will always be remembered and never forgotton and one day i know ill be reunited with my baby again untill that day the pain and tears will still remain.
We have since found out from Gloucester due to his notes the times before when ben got sick were due to the Necrotizing Enterocolitus which they originally told us was a viral infection,When i questioned this they told us at the time they was not sure so did not want to say anything i now believe that if ben had gone to Bristol the first time he may be here now but i guess ill never know
Mummy and daddy love you very much and your always in our hearts,Lauren and katie miss you loads too and matthew thinks your still in hospital keeping safe in your bed which i wish you was at least you would be here with us, sleep tight and have fun with all the other angels.
Love you loads ben and miss you like mad i will never get over losing you the day you fell asleep part of me went with you too and one day the other part of me will join you.
I just cant believe your brother who we named after you we called him Joseph christopher john came to join you after 21 weeks he looked just like you and he will share your garden with you,look after each other till i arrive i miss you both so much.Just cant believe i lost you both.

and we begin to have Christmas Fun

greetings are being sent to us
but for some its just to hard

Angel Day Celebration - by Unknown Author
This day will be a celebration
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love and many tears.
But to only feel pain and sorrow
Would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
More than words could say.
You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
All the ways you’ve touched
Our world and our hearts
And everyone who knew you
Since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an Angel
With your heavenly Father above,
We see not only what we’ve lost
But our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
In our life and a hole in our
Hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.
As this day is upon us,
Oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
We will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.

Christmas Lights
Bright christmas lights shone on high,
Golden stars in the wint'ry sky;
Christmas candles in windows bright
Send a greeting into the night;
While in our hearts the Christmas flame,
Glows with a love like his who came,
The infant Christ of lowly birth,
To bring good will and peace to earth.
Marie Irish

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Benjamin "
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Son of yours.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY XXX
