What can I say - my heart aches with your heart. I too have lost a baby Thomas. My son, my precious one was still-born two weeks ago today. I found your site while looking for a coffin for my baby.

My story was much the same as yours, except that I was already in labour. I sat in the hospital watching other Mothers recording their babies' many kicks, and realised that that wasn't happening with me. Many dopplers, many scans, no heartbeat. Two hours later Thomas Edward was delivered. Perfect in every way, just not breathing.

We will hold our babies in heaven. Perhaps we'll see each other there and compare brands of nappies!

I stumbled upon Thomas' site by accident, but have spent the last hour looking at it. The poems are beautiful, and I think this is a wonderful way to remember a very special little boy.

He was lucky to have you as his Mummy. God bless xx

I'm sorry for the loss of your precious baby boy Thomas. Losing a child is the hardest thing. You have a beautiful website with all the pictures and poems.

I also lost my son Matthew at 38 weeks in the hospital during labor. He died to undiagosed vasa previa. I have also dedicated a website to his memory and to create more awareness on vasa previa:

Thomas' web page is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story with others. Reading these web pages has been therapy for me. I too just lost a child and during my research I came across the memorial wall and have found Thomas.

Thomas and the other Angels have helped me in that I have created a page for our Abigail (Abbie). It is a nice way to continue to care for the Angel we could not take home.

Thank you so much for sharing Baby Thomas' story with us all. On 7th July 05 at 12.01pm i lost my beautiful baby boy, Rhys, who was still-born at 38 weeks, due to the cord being round his neck. He was perfect in every way, I just wish he got to meet all his family that loved him dearly.

It has really helped and comforted me to see such an amazing tribute to Baby Thomas, and has made me see that unfortunately I am not the only person who has been through this tragic situation. For something like this to happen after such a perfect pregnancy has totally ripped my heart out and left a gigantic hole.

It saddens me that so many other people have been through and are going through exactly the same thing. Six weeks on, and I still ask myself every day - 'why me? why did this happen to me?' I dream about where i would be now with baby Rhys. About what he looked like with his eyes open. About what he sounded like when he cried. About what would have been his favourite toy...but these things will always be unanswered, and the thought of that just pains my heart so much.

The tribute that you have made to Baby Thomas is so beautiful and I am sure that Thomas is looking down on his Mummy & Daddy thinking how proud he is of them. I only wish that I could be so strong as you to create a beautiful place such as this, where Rhys' friends and family can pay tribute to him, but I don't know if I am strong enough at the moment to do so.

Losing a baby has to be one of the hardest and cruelest things that could happen in life. If it doesn't tear two people apart it only makes them stronger.

My love and thoughts are with you all who have suffered this pain.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious boy. Losing a child is the deepest and most unbearable pain a person can endure.

Thank you for visiting my daughter Vanessa Lane's site and lighting the candle for her. I know you know how much it means to hear from people who have read about your child's life. I think when we parents who have lost a child can connect like this, our children in heaven connect also.

Now Thomas and Vanessa are angel friends.

Blessings,

Wow, thank you for sharing your beautiful Thomas with us:) I really love your special treasure box with all his goodies in, just lovely!

God Bless you all.....and specially your little Milly (I also have a little girl Milly born 24th Nov 2004)

Love Rachel (NZ)xx

What a wonderful memorial to your beautiful little boy, my heart goes out to you and your family.xx

I stumbled across your site whilst searching for the words to a favourite poem. I leave the site in floods of tears, yet inspired that you have been able to articulate your love for Thomas so well. Thank you so much for sharing your personal grief in such a public way.

Bless you.
Love Iain.

I just happened to "stumble" upon your website. Actually, I am sure that it happened for a reason. I am 29 years old and my husband and I are blessed with three beautiful boys: Tristan is 7, Nolan is 5, and Logan is 3 1/2. When I was 5, I lost my little brother at the age of 1. I think of him daily still to this day.

It is amazing how much I remember of him and I was only 5!! He passed away from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and I have been thinking of writing a book about my "experience". Amazingly enough, I have felt drawn to do this.

Your website is so moving, so beautiful. I spent two hours just reading your journal entries. Crying, smiling. So many emotions. I am so happy for you and your husband for the birth of your beautiful daughter - but also know that my heart longs for you both at the loss of your son, and your friend to breast cancer.

Our hearts will mend, but their memory will always live on.
Thank you!!

We lost our little boy Thomas, January 17th 1999, not a day goes by when he is not with me, he was born sleeping at 22 weeks and weighed just under a pound.

M y heart goes out to you on the loss of your little boy Thomas.

What a beautiful and loving tribute to your beloved Thomas. I found your site through Joshua's. Fiona has been such a good friend to me as I know you have been to her. What tragic circumstances draw us together.

You are in my thoughts.
Charlotte

We are really sorry about your loss. You have touched so many hearts by doing this website. We think it's brilliant.

Though I never knew him nor know you, You have my deepest sympathies. Though I am happy to hear about your little girl Milly, may her smile light up your lives.

This makes me speechless :) Very well done!

Dear Vicky,

I have written to you before and just wanted to tell you every so often I still go through your website. It's a comfort to me, glad to hear your little girl is doing well. You are very blessed with her. We are still in hope ourselves.

I've started up a website too michael-ciaranmorgan.memory-of.com will add some pictures over the next few days.

Take care and god bless

He his shining brightly with my Angel Amy In the clouds..

Lovely tribute to wee Thomas. I know you will always love and miss him I to lost a special angel 6 years ago at 40 weeks, wee Jordan was stillborn. To know him was to love him you were gone before we knew and only god knows why.

Lots of love Ann xxxxxxxxx

Dear Mr and Mrs Dixon,

Thankyou for creating this inspirational and beautiful website in memory of your precious little boy. My husband and I lost our litttle boy, Oliver, on 27th July 2005. He was still born at 38 weeks.

The way you described the emotions and feelings following Thomas's death are so close to how I have been feeling and it is so comforting to know that you have been there too and are working through it every day.

It is so wonderful that you have gone on to have another little girl and I hope more than I can say that Tom and I blessed with another child. Losing a baby is unbearable but people like you, who take the time to create such brilliant sites, help ease the pain a little.

Thank you so much. Today will be a little better for reading about Thomas.

Lots of Love Jo xx

I came across your website about little Thomas. Even though I never met you, God bless you and I hope you are a happy bunny and at peace.

Can you please make a poem for Freddie Appleton? He was born 2nd of April 2005 (stillborn), he was my grandson. I, like my son, are having such a difficult time coming to terms with this loss. My son has just recently had to split from Freddies mum, as she is not coming to terms with her loss either. I held Freddie when he was born and I can't understand at all. I know something went wrong, but what? A poem in Freddies memory may help us all. please try.

God Bless You.

I was very moved by this website. It is a wonderful tribute to your son. As a mother myself I cannot even begin to contemplate what you must have gone through. you are very courageous. Congratulations on your lovely daughter.

Just seeing how many messages are in your guest book shows how sadly common our situation is.

Our baby James died at 38 weeks in January 2003, the day before his c-section was booked for. We have since had a daughter Katie and she has really made us smile again.

Thank you for sharing your story,

Love from Janice, UK

Hi,

Your website is truly beautiful in Loving memory of your angel, You visited my angels website, Alariona Danielle Smith who was stillborn June 16th, 2003 @ 3:30 am. I know the lost, empty feeling inside that oh so many have felt but no one ever knows how you truly feel, God has blessed me with a new baby boy who just turned 13 1/2 months. And he is truly my world,

May God bless you and Keep you!
Love Misti

I just want to send you giant hugs. No one understands this as well as another mommy that has suffered a stillbirth.

Just remember that Thomas knows how much you love him & is wrapping you in his angel wings every single day.

Dear Victoria,

I am so very sorry for the loss of your of your precious angel Baby Thomas & Baby D. You have made a lovely website for them both, and I am sure that they are looking down on you with so much pride too.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit to my granddaughter's website ariannahs-cloud. Hope to see you back soon.

God bless.
Sincerely, Angel Quin

Your website has really moved me, funny how you can cry over something or someone you have never met. I have had four miscarriages in the last two years, previously having two healthy boys, I had a nephew that died of cot death at 3 months & I am now pregnant with my third child, so it's the waiting game again. Not sure how things will turn out, but fingers crossed, I really feel for you, I can only imagine the pain you went through & no child can replace one you have lost but it certainly helps to heal some of the pain you have endure.

I wish you the best of luck & I am glad that you strong enough to share your story with others.....sharron x x

You have been through so much, sorry for the loss of little Thomas. You have such a gorgeous daughter, all the best for the future to the 3 of you.

With love
Michelle and my 4 children Mathew (16) Hayley (14) Bradley (8) Millie (3) WEST YORKSHIRE

A beautiful site for a precious little boy. Huge kisses to all Our Angels.

I have also lost a baby boy (twin) at 35wks. The pain is so great. I feel a sense of loss. I don't think my life will ever be the same. You are not alone. Your loss is great and it's felt.

Thank you for sharing you story with us. My prayers are with you and your husband.

God Bless you,
Jackie Hogan

You have a very beautiful website which has moved me to tears. My son, also named Thomas, although we were planning to call him Tommy, was stillborn three months ago.

It is comforting to know that other people realise what my partner and I are going through, although I wish that this would never happen to anybody.

Thank you.

Hi Vicky and Magnus,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of baby Thomas. He will be very proud of the website you have created for him, it is a real tribute.

I lost Jack's twin in May 2002 and Jack in November 2002. Jack was stillborn at 36 weeks on 7th November. I miss him so much but I was lucky enough to have had photographs taken as soon as he was born and right up to his funeral.

We have been blessed with a daughter since and I never cease to be amazed and uplifted by her, please God she is with us to stay. She is now 14 months old. I am sure that you too feel this when you look at Milly. Often I look at her while imagining what Jack would have been like, we will never know while on this earth.

You have found a really special way to keep Thomas's memory alive and it is inspiring. I hope that I can finally do something fitting for Jack as it approaches his 3rd birthday. Time does help, as does another baby but the memories will still reduce you to tears on special occassions. I am glad of it as I wouldn't want to think he mattered less as he gets older.

I hope you find that the great support you have received continues and that you will always keep up this remarkable web site.

God bless

Hi Victoria,

Thankyou so much for sharing your story at H.A.N.D, I am so happy you shared it with us. I am sorry for your pain but happy for your blessings.

Love you to the moon...........and back!

I am so sorry about Thomas, I know that pain all that well.

Vicky,

Thank you so much for lighting a candle for my sweet nephew Blake!! That means so much to our family! I am so sorry for your loss. Know that I am here for you if you ever need to talk or want a shoulder to cry on! Bless your heart!!

God Bless, Cindy

We lost our little girl 25th October 2005, stillborn. The pain won't go away, it hurts so very much.

What a lovely site to a special little boy. My son was born asleep too and the pain will lessen but the memories remain of the wonderfull 31 weeks that I carried him.

God Bless you both and your family, I am sure Thomas is watching you all from Heaven.

So sorry for your loss, a lovely site, My Thomas was born alseep in 1992. God bless you all

Congrats about Milly. She'll be one soon. I have recently lost my son Charlie at 37 weeks. Trying for another. You have been through so much so glad to see you've come though the other side. x x x

I will think of you this Xmas & New year coming up

xx

What a lovely site in memory of your precious son Thomas. Me and my husband lost our baby girl "Ellie May" in April this year. I too was 31 wks and 5 days, it was my second pregnancy and from the start I knew something was wrong.

It has been very hard but I think it's easier when you share your pain and realise your not alone, it's especially nice to share it with other Mums because our husbands are great but only a mother knows how it feels to carry and lose a child!

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, a very happy ending to a tragic tale.

Take care xx

The poem you had read out at Thomas's service called 'For Thomas' is beautiful, the hospital gave me a copy and I also adapted it for Emma's funeral.

God bless you both and your darling Thomas, what a lovely name xx

What a beautiful site in memory of a precious angel.

This is a beautiful way to keep you're little angels memory alive. It's really inspiring.

My little boy died 2 days after birth (26 weeks prem), I will never recover from this loss, but in a way it is comforting to know he is not alone up there, they are all together playing in Heaven's nursery.

God Bless

Dear Mr and Mrs Dixon, Very touched by your website. I am at present helping to prepare for the funeral of a friends baby who battled epilepsy since birth. He would have been 1 next month. My friends twin sister has also lost a baby at 5 months gestation. Sometimes life just seems to have no rhyme or reason but I guess that that is what life's message is in the end.

Thank you and take care.

What a beautiful tribute to your dear Thomas and little one. Sweet dream's little angels that you are xx

To a special little boy. The other angels babies will watch over you and now my child is with you.

See you all soon lots of love xxx

God Bless and keep him in his care. You have some wonderful poems and art.
