Where did the year go since you left us? And why is the pain so raw? Your loss can stop us in a moment, And tear us like a falcon’s claw. The pain reflects our love for you, And the love’s as deep as the grief, One emotion replaced the other, you see, Or so we thought back then, But the love still flows out from our hearts, And parallel to the grief, We know that now, love never dies, It simply marches on, And though you’re not here with us You’re still close to us, our son. We hope you have some peace now, We hope you’re far away from pain, We hope you’ll love us from your vantage point, Until we meet again. Bailey, we would give everything, To have you here again, But we know that our daily dreams of this Will forever be in vain. And so, our son, our fighter, Sleep sound with idle arms, For your battle is now over, And peace will reign again.

Christmas in Heaven © Written December 22, 2003 by Kris Smith
We've shared our hearts full of holiday cheer And shopped for presents for loved ones this year. The house is dressed up with garland and lights That sparkle and shine through the holidays nights. But even with all of this holiday bliss There's someone we lost that we terribly miss. And as this Christmas Day draws near We wish with all of our hearts he was here. He's living his life way up past the stars, Somewhere past Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. He's spending his Christmas in Heaven, you see And last night as I slept, a dream came to me. She was standing before me, happy and well She said to me "I have something to tell… Heaven's more wonderous than you would believe It's the greatest of gifts I could ever receive. I'd like for you all to remember the good…
You know that I'd be there if only I could.
So don't feel so bad that I'm not there
There are so many memories you can share As you gather together, I'm sure you'll find
The gifts deep within you that I left behind.
Each one is unique and wrapped brightly in love
They shine from your hearts as I shine from above."
In Loving Memory Of

Christmas In Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular. Please wipe away that tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring. For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away. We really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all, "Love" is the gift, more precious than pure gold, It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessings or love he has for you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear, Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Bailey's website has reached a milestone today that was unimaginable when we first put it together. Our son's own place on the world wide web has clocked up 10,000 visitors. Since the launch of the website, that equates to an average of almost 43 visitors per day, however, when the site was very new there could be days go by without a single visitor. Conversely some periods of 24 hours have seen visitors coming in in droves, almost in 'gold-rush' proportions of in excess of 500 visitors in a single day. It is humbling to realise that what began as a very simple idea to allow our own friends and faimly to get to know our boy has grown into him having friends in places as far away as Canada, Australia, India and the USA as well as here in the UK. We know that many people return to the site again and again and that we aren't looking at 10,000 different people, but even so, how many other babies have touched so many lives? Regardless of whether people visit once or return again and again, each visit means the world to us.
How many other babies, still 3 weeks shy of their 1st birthday, have reached out to so many people? Michelle and I want to thank everyone who has spent time getting to know Bailey. The comments left in the Guestbook never fail to touch our hearts. He was a blessing in life and he will always remain a blessing to us and hopefully to those who have known him through the pages of this site.

My mum,she tells a lot of lies She never did before. From now until the day she dies, She'll tell a whole lot more. She used to tell the truth a lot, But now it doesn't matter, I died and went to heaven, Her life is all in tatters. Ask my mum how she is, She'll say "yes I'm fine"! She wants to beg "Please help me, I can't find that prince of mine! Ask my mum how she is, she'll say "I'm alright" If that's the truth then tell me, Why does she cry each night? Ask my mum how she is, She seems to cope so well She didn't have a choice, You see, nor the strength to yell. You think you know the feeling, But this, it cannot be, For even though you loved me, You didn't love as much as she. She will smile and tell you, "It's ok, God, he has a plan". But she will turn away and cry, Cause she just can't understand. Tell a joke and she will laugh, But she is not ok She wants to share the joke with me, But it will not be today. Some day you will feel better "Yes I will" she lies. She knows this will not happen, Until the day she dies. Ask my mum how she is, She'll say, thank you, good " She cannot tell you how she feels, Oh I wish she could. Ask my mum how she is "Im fine, Im well, Im coping". For God's sake mum, Just tell the truth, just say your heart is broken. Ask my mum how she is, "I'm well, I'm good, and you"? I'll shake my head in heaven It simply isn't true. She'll love me all her life, I loved her all of mine. But if you ask her how she is, She'll lie and say she's fine. Her carnival is over, She's stepped off the carousel, But to save you feeling badly, She'll say, "thanks all is well". My mum she's not gone mad yet But oh so very nearly. Dont ask my mum how she is, Ask her how she is, really. I am here in heaven, I cannot hug from here. If she lies to you don't listen. Hug her, hold her near. On the day we meet again, We'll smile and I'll be bold I'll say "Your lucky to get in here With all the lies you told"

One More Day Last night I had a crazy dream A wish was granted just for me It could be for anything I didn't ask for money Or a mansion in Malibu I simply wished, for one more day with you One more day One more time One more sunset, Maybe I'd be satisfied But then again I know what it would do Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl Then I'd unplug the telephone And keep the TV off I'd hold you every second Say a million I love you's That's what I'd do, with one more day with you Leave me wishing still, for one more day With you.

Precious Child
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
God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there is 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

"The measure of life afterall, isn't the duration but the donation" Someone sent me this about Bailey and I think it perfectly describes his life.
