Joshua David Collier.......
Age 69days, was found asleep on 13th June 1994, sleeping inbetween his mummy and daddy.......
Joshys was a very special baby to me, he was all I ever wanted, and finnally I had him. He was a hard birth. He sat on my siatic nerve in my right leg for the last 2 weeks before he was born. Made it impossible for me to walk without pain. I had him at 2:23am on 5th April 1994 by Ventouse delivery. I knew he was a boy right from the start, and I was persistant that his name would be Joshua David, he weighed 6lb and was very very handsome.
We took him home and did all the things new parents do, we adored him.
Josh WAS healthy, at 8 weeks he had his first injections, and 19 days later he died.
We'd put him to sleep in our bed after his nightly 3am feed, and by 8:23am he'd fell asleep never to wake.
He died of cot death.....
Why did my beautiful baby boy have to died for no reason, at least a reason may make this journey of grief a little easier......
I also had a miss carriage 3mths after Joshy died, we named that baby Jordan Jo..
Joshy does now have an younger sister Jessica who is now 16yrs and a Younger Brother Mark age 15. They both know about him, and although they never met him, they wished they could have...............
Thankyou for reading a little of Joshys story.
This is the words to One of Joshys songs " SHATTERED DREAMS"
CHORUS
Shattered Dreams,
Broken Hearts,
Wiery souls, with forgotten plans,
Time will pass you by,
And you'll know you'll cry,
SHATTERED DREAMS.....
Going on together,
Thinking its alright,
Making plans forever,
Trying to live you life,
Feeling so happy,
Things are going fine,
Then all of a sudden,
there will be a cry of Shattered Dreams.
Shattered dreams,
Broken hearts,
Wiery souls, with forgotten plans,
Time will pass you by,
And you know you'll cry,
Shattered Dreams.....
Planning for the future,
A baby comes along,
He gives yopu so much pleasure,
Then it all goes wrong,
Memories that haunt you,
Love thats gone away,
The past is still beside you,
and all your holding onto,
is shattered Dreams....
Shattered dreams,
Broken hearts,
Wiery souls, with forgotten plans,
Time will pass you by,
and you know you'll cry,
Shattered dreams.....

Hey My son,
I miss you so bad even now 17 years on, Why oh why do I still feel the same way I did the day you died....
Its hard son, I love you so much, and yet I sometime find it hard to remember having thoes precious 10 weeks with you. Why you had to go so soon, I dont think we'll ever know, but you left a massive scar on my heart, the day God took you home.
I look at other 17 year olds and always wonder what youd be like, what would you be doing? Arguing with me and dad no doubt. I hate this life without you, my son, living each day, with a part of me missing.
And now another year comes around, with your birthday drawring near.
I cant stand the pain, the hurt the days i dont have you here much longer,
I dont know how strong i can be, i miss you so much my son. and yet I have to carry on, and live life to the fullest I can.
I feel I have no where to go to talk about you, to let others know how Im feeling, as 17years on and I should be stronger than I feel right now. 17 years on I should know how to deal with the feelings I get year in year out. 17 years on, 17 years....17 years with out you my son...and you died for no reason, no apparent reason. My son you are precious and I love you always, I miss you so so so so much forever in my heart never to be forgotten Mummy xx xx xx
"For You created my innermost being; You knit me together in my Mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be."
Psalm 139 v13-16
"Can a woman forget her infant - the loved one, the son of her womb? I will not forget you. See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands."
Isaiah 49 v15-16
"I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love of God."
Romans 8 v38-39
With God, nothing is ever wasted or incomplete, and all things are upheld and made whole with His Love"
I Lost My Child Today
I lost my child today.
People came to weep and cry
As I just sat and stared, dry eyed.
They struggled to find words to say
To try and make the pain go away.
I walked the floor in disbelief.
I lost my child today.
I lost my child last month.
Most of the people went away.
Some still call and some still stay.
I wait to wake up from this dream
"This can't be real" I want to scream.
Yet everything is locked inside,
God, help me, I want to die.
I lost my child last month.
I lost my child last year.
Now people, who had come, have gone.
I sit and struggle all day long,
To bear the pain so deep inside.
And now my friends just question, "Why?
Why does this mother not move on?
Just sits and sings the same old song.
Good heavens, it has been so long!"
I lost my child last year.
Time has not moved on for me.
The numbness it has disappeared.
My eyes have now cried many tears.
I see the look upon your face,
"She must move on and leave this place."
Yet I am trapped right here in time.
The songs the same, as is the rhyme:
I lost my child......Today.
Hello
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your face a thousand times
I sometimes dream you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I would see it in your eyes
I would see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, and my arms are open wide
'Cause I'd know just what to say
And I'd know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely,
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you

Cosmic Love
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart.
Lyrics from Florence and the Machine

Song Lyrics
Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum.
It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds.
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs.
Once I had the rarest rose that
ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the balm,
And stole my flower too soon
O loneliness, O hopelessness
To search the ends of time,
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.
Love....Still falls the rain.
Be mine forever...
Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heaven is laid,
Its stars of brightest glow.
They shine for you.
They shine for you.
They burn for all to see.
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.
Annie Lennox (Lyrics)
