In memory of 'the wee man' / Michelle Magee (Nephew)
Samuel & Helen
We were so excited when we first heard that you were pregnant and there was going to be a baby in the family again. I am so thankful to both of you for involving me in every step of your pregnancy - those nine months are so precious in my memories and are stored safely in a time safe in my heart - never to be removed. The night we got to meet Samuel from his 3D scan and he waved at us all (!), made it all seem so real - yes - I was going to be an auntie!!
How our worlds just feel apart that Sunday night - when the phone rang and I saw it was Samuel's number, I said to Mark - this is it - the
wee man is on his way!! I never once expected to hear my brother cry down the phone - 'we've lost the
wee man'. The next three days were just a nightmare when in our minds we were all asking 'why' - a question we will never know the answer to.
I was nervous about going into see Baby Samuel on the Wednesday, but all that went the minute I set eyes on him - he is beautiful. The first thought that crossed my mind when I saw him - was how he was like his mummy round the nose and mouth and well, once that blanket was taken off him we could see where his daddy's genes came in!!!
We will never understand why God took our prevcious
'wee man', but I believe he has done his job here on earth, by giving a special bond to his mummy and daddy and bringing the two families together.
We are so proud of you both, you have handled a very difficult situtation with such dignity and have supported each other every step of the way.
Baby Samuel will always be part of our lives, we will always talk about him, think about him and remember him. He will live on in all of our lives.
Thank you both for giving us our precious grandson, nephew and friend.
Lots of love
