Baby Jack Critchley was born sleeping on 7th August 1997
Jack left behind a mummy (Kerry) and daddy (Kevin). He now has a little brother called Joshua who is 8 and a little sister Tabitha aged 5 who joined him in heaven on 28th January 2007.

I was 17 when i found out i was pregnant with Jack and kevin was 19. It was not a planned pregnancy, but there was never any doubt in our minds that we were going to do our best to be great parents.

The pregnancy was going well until at 28 weeks we were told that the baby was a little small for the dates, but that we shouldn't worry. The following week i went to see my obstetrician and i told him that i felt the baby was not moving as much as i thought he should be. After poking my bump about a bit baby started kicking lots and i was told everything was fne again.
On the morning of 7th August 1997 i woke up with pains, like sharp tightenings which went on throughout the day. I thought that they were the braxton hicks contractions that i had been told about and thought they would go away eventually, but they didn't and by late afternoon they were really strong and getting closer together. I phoned the delivery suite and was told to go straight in.
Once at the hospital after several machine and battery changes it was revealled on a scan that our baby's heart had stopped beating, our little boy had died before he was even born.
The intention was then that my labour would be stopped and that it would be restarted the next morning after i had rested (like that was ever going to happen). Within a few minutes of being in a side room on a maternity ward i delivered my tiny, but perfect baby angel boy, Jack. He wighed 2lb 3 1/2oz and was 30 weeks into the pregnancy.
After a postmortem in London it was revealled that there had been a blood clot behind the placenta that had slowly starved him of all his nutrients throughout the pregnancy.

Baby Jack Critchley was laid to rest on 19th August 1997 after a beautiful and peaceful service.

~I have set up this page as a lasting tribute to him on his 10th Angel Anniversary. Please feel free to light a candle for our sleeping angel and help keep his memory alive~

IN A BABY CASTLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ina a baby castle, just beyond my eye,
My baby plays with angel toys, that money cannot buy
Who am i to wish him back to this our world of strife
No, play on my baby you have eternal life

At night when all is silent, and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear his tiny footsteps, come rushing to my side
His little hands caress me, so tenderly and sweet
I'll breath a prayer and embrace him in my sleep

Now i have a treasure, that i rate above all others
I have known true glory, i am still his MOTHER XX

~♥ With Love ♥~

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

Free the butterflies-
I'll be there
to see them soar
upon the air.
Know my spirit
is on the wing,
feel my laughter-
hear me sing.

Forever in your dreams
always in your heart.

Will i always feel like this
That life is so unfair
Im so sad and so lonely
When i need you,youre not there

*~~*~~*~~*~~*

Nothing can ever change this
For time is moving on
Now all i have are memories
Happy days now long gone

*~~*~~*~~*~~*

All the love you gave me
I keep deep in my heart
For sure i know that one day
We will make a brand new start

*~~*~~*~~*~~*

You know just how im feeling
So ill say nothing more
Just be there to guide me
Walking through Gods golden door

A little hug from me to you,
To make you smile
when you feel blue,
To make you happy
when your sad,
To let you know
life aint so bad.
Now I've given a hug to you,
Somehow I feel much better too
Hugs are better when they're shared
So pass one on to show you care.

.....Another year has come and gone,
.......Yet it doesn’t seem that long!
.......Time flies by but I’m still here,
......Wishing for just one more year.

...........But I never get my wish.
........Instead another year to miss.
.....Everything seems all messed up,
...As I send you cheers and lift my cup.

.......And usher in another year new;
......Another year for me without you.

All my love always to you angel and your family and friends...elaine xxxxxxxxxx

Christmas Without You
♥************************♥

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *♥
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *♥
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
♥* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *♥
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.

Born Asleep - by Unknown Author

“Born Asleep" - such a beautiful phrase,
Always touches me to the core.
The broken cries of a Mother's heart
When it just can't take anymore.

I open my heart, one Mum to another,
So you never lose your hope,
That although it gets no easier,
I promise you'll learn to cope.

Remember your Angel is sleeping
In a world much kinder than ours
And will always be there to hold your hand
Even in your darkest hours.

My own little Angel will keep an eye,
And play with yours in their park.
But you must find your love and strength,
And feed your own little spark.

You'll never be alone my friend,
I will always understand.
If the tides loom up to swallow you,
Just reach out and grab my hand.
