Joel Francis was born premature. He tried so hard to stay with us but was just too poorly.
I feel now Joel nanny can add a little more.
Mummy and Daddy had been to visit,it was a Wednesday. we were sitting in the garden when mummy had a pain. When the next 1 came I suggested to daddy he take mummy home and ring the doctor.
When daddy rang nanny he said all was fine not to worry! i didn't see them the next day.
On the Friday morning i had a message to say you had arrived and was coping. It seems the day before mummy wasn't well and went to hospital. Things got worse and started to happen. In the night mummy went into labour, BUT! the hospital didn't have a cot available.
She and daddy were taken to another hospital over 2 hours away.
Grand dad had gone to work so I rang and told him. We decided we would drive down later ready for visiting.
It was early afternoon when nanny had a call to say you wasn't well and we needed to get to the hospital if we wanted to see you. We arrived at 7.30pm, i saw mummy for a little while but she had so many of her own family with her we couldn't stay. So a nurse took us down to SCBU. Daddy was sitting beside you holding your hand. there were so many wires and machines attached to you, nanny started to cry because of the bruises on your tiny body!!!!!!!
The nurse said we could stroke your hand but when we did all the machines went of. And so had to leave you.
Daddy came to us and said things were going wrong. Your little body was shutting down.
The next thing we new the others turned up with mummy and we had to leave yet again.
Daddy found us and said they'd decided to have you christend and was waiting for the chaplain.
It was after 10.30pm when we all stood around your cot and you were christened Joel Francis, i thought it was going to be benjamin.
Their wasn't anymore we could do so drove home.
When i rang the next day we were told we couldn't come to see you. So nany worried all that time because she hadn't seen or spoken to daddy.
On the Sunday a nurse rang and said you were worse and to drive to the hospital, and daddy needed nanny.
You were so sick! and they didn't hold out any hope.
Because so many people were with mummy yet again nanny and grand dad had to come away.
It was late at night when daddy rang to say you'd grown your angel wings.
Baby angel it breaks nanny's heart to think she never got to hold you or kiss you, or give you a cuddle.
I'm so sorry baby boy, I called you my little soldier.
Nanny and grand dad will never ever forget you.
Sleeping with Jesus.
Floaty kisses sweetheart.

JOEL'S NANNY EVELYN
Dear Evelyn, I feel so much for you. I am the mother of sons and it is always the girl's family that come first. I am fortunate and blessed that so far my six grandchildren (3 boys from a step-daughter who until last week hadn't spoken to me for 28 years) My own son has a new 16 week baby girl and I live in total fear every day of SIDS. Please know that you are loved and that darling baby Joel will be cared for by my Mummy who passed in 1983 and she would have scooped him up in her heavenly arms and cherished him until you are there. God bless Lisa RUDD X
happy birthday anniversary
to my special little soldier, Happy Birthday. Sending you big floaty kisses.
From Nanny.

Precious Child by Karen Taylor Good
In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still
In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart
Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's a peace I'm sure
And I know
There'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Joel"
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 Grandson of yours.
My Precious Grandson - by Unknown Author
I have a little Grandson,
Who means the world to me
He's living with the Angels
And is as special as can be
And even though he's up there,
Playing in the clouds
He's still my precious Grandson
And I am so very proud.
I know I can not hold him,
Or bounce him on my knee
But only have to close my eyes,
His little face to see.
I never will stop missing him
And wishing he were here
But sometimes I feel, indeed I know
That he is very near.
So play happily my precious Angel
I love you so and always will,
And you will never be forgotten
I am your Nanny still. XX
