Happy Birthday Trevor

Happy birthday darling Trevor,
You are 2 years old today. We can only imagine what you would have looked like and what you would be doing. Your short life left such a deep impression on us, never to be forgotten.
Time does not heal. We have just learnt to accept and live with the sorrow. You will always be a part of our lives even if only in spirit.
Love you.

Your second birthday is coming

Hey little T

It is hard to believe that in a few days you would have been two years old. Mommy and I talk about you often and wonder what you would be like, we wish you were here so we could see for ourselves rather than rely on our imagination. I was listening to a song the other day the words went as follows, "you are not dead, you are just living in my head". I guess thats where you are going to be for the rest of my life.

I think of you every single day, whether for a brief moment or long enough to cry. It seems crazy to me but I find a strength and a calm in you. When I am having a rough day at work all I have to do is look at the pictures of you, that I carry with me, and everything gets put back into perspective - you make me feel like nothing is that big of a deal.

Your brother is 4 months old now. I look into his beautiful blue eyes, much the same as yours, and I see life, that I once saw in yours. The last time I looked into your eyes, you were lying on a hospital bed, and it was then that I knew you were gone. Looking into your brothers eyes I get to see you, I get to see life.

Every day Trevor, every day


No
No
Please stop this from happening
I feel like I am reliving that day, the last time I saw him, the last night I put him down to sleep
I know what is going to happen and I can’t stop it
Everyday for 365 days T, everyday I have thought about you. I see your face every morning, some days I cry, and other days I smile
We miss you Trevor. Miss you from a place I did not know existed.

Pray Mommy Pray

Our Darling Trevor
Today is that awful day, that terrible day. We still find it difficult. We talk about you often and your photo is a reminder of how beautiful you were. We pray that God will help your mommy and daddy through this and be there for them, make them strong and help them understand and accept your will.
We love you always
Think of you always
Miss you always

Devastated, one year on


A year has passed since our darling grandson, Trevor was taken from us. That is the most devastating event to happen to any grandparent especially as Trevor is our first grandson born from the marriage of our first born and only son and his wife.
He has left a gaping hole in our lives and no matter how much time passes, we are always aware that out of the blue something will be said or done or seen which will remind us of Trevor and we will again sink into that sadness of our family’s loss. Even just waking up some mornings brings on that longing feeling.
Darling Trevor you are our sunrise and our sunset and we will always love you.
