Our little boy, Blake, was born on 18 October 2004 at Kettering General Hospital. Everything seemed
fine at first, and it was only much later we discovered he had had hypothermia and the midwife had
chosen to ignore this, and other concerns raised at the time, because she was 'too busy'.
He had collapsed when we thought he was sleeping, and despite the paediatricians best efforts to
save him he died that same day.

Life will never be the same for us, and if i had not had my other little boy Ruben to take care of,
i think i would have gone with Blake. He was so beautiful, and so loved, i cannot understand why he
was taken from us. I visit his grave every week and talk to him. We played 'If I could turn
back the hands of time' at his funeral, and I so wish I could.

Goodluck.

Hi,I just wanted to wish you all the best with your letter, that midwife should not be keeping her job for neglegence like that. Alot more in the NHS needs to be done to save our babies, even if its just simple care procedures. I really do believe pregnancies and babies aren't monitered enough. My baby was healthy all the way through, it was only the day of labour he suddenly stopped breathing, and there has been no answers why. You have all my support. Goodluck, and Godbless. May i add, your son is beautiful and special.

All my love to you all

I have written to our MP today, my little darling, because the midwife who ignored you has, unbelievably, been allowed to keep her job. Mummy wants some justice for you, so that this cannot happen to any other babies. I love you xxx

ONE DAY CLOSER TO YOU
I sometimes ask the Lord
Why he took you before me,
And though he's never answered-
I guess it was meant to be.

I tell myself you're watching,
That you're never really far away,
I sometimes feel the slightest touch
When I bow my head to pray.

I know heaven must have a window
With no curtain to hide the view,
I know you probably stand there often
And watch me missing you.

I know you're helping me to go on,
You're guiding me through the pain,
I somehow sense you're telling me,
There's more sunshine now then rain.

Each new day now dawns with meaning,
Something inside of me rings so true,
Today will slip into yesterday
And I'll be one day closer to you!

Too Soon

This was a life that had hardly begun
No time to find your place in the sun
No time to do all you could have done
But we loved you enough for a lifetime

No time to enjoy the world and its wealth
No time to take life down off the shelf
No time to sing the song of yourself
Though you had enough love for a lifetime

Those who live long endure sadness and tears
But you'll never suffer the sorrowing years
No betrayal, no anger, no hatred, no fears
Just love, only love, in your lifetime

For my beautiful boy, I'll always love you
Your Mummy

Hi Ya Little Mate,
It seems so strange that i was just passing by when i came across your lovely little Memorial site and i hope that you do not mind that i have silently crept in especially to say hello to you, I too was born in that very same Hospital in Kettering as you were, some 48 years ago and having read the beautiful and moving tribute that your lovely Family has wrote i want you to know that all of My Families thoughts and Prayers are with You and all of your Family.
Rest in peace little Fellow knowing that you have and will always have a wonderful caring Family who Love & Miss you so much.
God-Bless You, Blake
XXXXX.

One lifetime wish

If we could have one lifetime wish
A dream that would come true
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and you
A thousand words can't bring you back
We know because we've tried
And neither can a million tears
We know because we've cried
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too
We never wanted memories though
We only wanted you!!
