Please remember Josh

Dear Mel,
My heart has broken for you and your DH. I have no words. I just want you to know that you are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I will light a candle for your beautiful little baby Josh tomorrow.
Love Lisa xxx

Mel and family, i am deeply sorry for you loss. May Joshua RIP with his brother Nicholas and look down on you all at this hard time.

[mrsmac]

I too cannot even begin to express my sorrow for you all. I will light a candle for both your beautiful angels tomorow.

[Antheia]

Hugs to you, your DH and family at this time. Words fail me now, but you are all in my thoughts.

[Trish]

Mel, my heart broke when I learnt of sweet Joshua's passing. His time with you was far too short.

I will have a candle lit for Joshua tomorrow as you send your angel free to be with his big brother

Mel

I will never forget Josh, and his journey through your pregnancy and beyond onto his next journey. You have shown so much support and understanding for so many of us here. So many of us want to keep the sun shining as much as we can for you at this tremendously sad time, and over the coming months and beyond. Joshua has touched so many of us, he was and will remain a gorgeous baby, loved by so many.

You have been in my thoughts constantly, and will remain so tomorrow, as you farewell your little boy at 1.00pm. There are many special playmates that are looking after your Josh and will keep him safe and guide him.

May Joshua live in your hearts forever and watch over you from above with his big brother Nicholas. Will be thinking of you and will say a prayer tomorrow for your beautiful little boy.

Mel and family, words can't convey the sadness I feel for you. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will be sending all my love your way tomorrow at 1pm. Please take care.

Mel and DH - I pray for your family, that you have strength to het through this tragedy. While no words will make this better I hope you know that we are all here for you when you need us. May Nicholas and the other angels show Joshua the way.

Mel, i am sorry for the passing of your son Joshua. I am thinking of you, your family and both your sons Joshua and big brother Nicholas.

Dear Mel & Michael,
It's 1pm and I have been saying some prayers & crying many tears. I have lit many candles and am burning incense. My two little girls have said some prayers for your family too. I am imagining a wet cold day in Melbourne. I am imagining just how unreal this all must feel for you.

I can't believe that now I am not listening to your story of excitement rather than imagining your devastation.

I feel I know Josh - I just can't believe this has happened.

I want to say something that means something. But I can't Mel for my heart is broken with yours.

I found this poem - and we read it for you, for Michael and for Josh...

The Water Lily
by Henry Lawson

A lonely young wife
In her dreaming discerns
A lily decked pool
With a border of ferns,
And a beautiful child,
With butterfly wings,
Trips down to the edge of the water and sings:

"Come Mamma Come!
Quick! Follow me -
Step out on the leaves of the water lily!

And the lonely young wife,
Her heart beating wild,
Cries, "wait until I come, until I reach you, my child!
But the beautiful child
with the butterfly wings
Steps out on the leaves of the lily and sings:

"Come, Mama come!
Quick follow me!
Step out on the leaves of the water lily!

And the wife in her dreaming
Steps out on the stream,
But the lily leaves sink
And she wakes from her dream,
Ah, the waking is sad,
For the tears that it brings,
And she knows 'tis her dead baby's spirit that sings:

"Come, Mamma come!
Quick! Follow me -
Step out on the leaves of the water lily...

Please know I am here. Please come to us for comfort. For support. For strength.

All my love.

Goodbye sweet Joshua - fly free...

Mel and family - I have been searching for a long time to find the words to express my heartbreak at the loss of Joshua - but there are none.

I have searched for words of comfort that I could offer - but there are none.

Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time and in the days, weeks, months to come.
