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 13yrs and a Younger Brother Mark age 12.
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.....

I Love And Miss Him So Much.
Thanks again Angela X
Love is like a butterfly;
It goes where it pleases
And pleases wherever it goes.
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart
The Watcher
You always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked you tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because you waited there.
Your thoughts were all so full of us,
You never could forget,
And so I think that where you are
You must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to you
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me,
I will be near and if you listen with your heart,
You will hear all of my love around you
Soft and clear then, when you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"
Friends Are Like Angels,
Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,
Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious thing
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

For Friday
MISS ME..... BUT LET ME GO
We've known lots of pleasure
And also endured pain,
We've savoured all our sunshine
And endured too much rain.
But now we're separated
And for a time apart,
But I am not alone -
You're forever in my heart.
Death always seems so sudden
And it is always sure,
But what is often forgotten -
It is not without a cure.
There may be times you miss me
I sort of hope you do,
But smile when you think of me
For I'll be waiting here for you.
Now there's many things for you to do
And lots of ways to grow,
So get busy, be happy, and live your life,
Miss me, but let me go.
MY FRIEND I CARE
Don’t tell me that you understand.
Don’t tell me that you know.
Don’t tell me that I will survive,
How I will surely grow.
Don’t come at me with answers
That can only come from me.
Don’t tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free.
Accept me in my ups and downs.
I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand and let me cry
And say, “My friend, I care"
15 in a few weeks time
Well Little man, your 15 soon, and it only seams like yesterday since you slept and never woke.
I miss you as much now as I did then son,
each day goes by, and I cant hold you or shout at you, or laugh with you, or cry with you.
Like I do with Jess and mark. You should be here argueing and playing with them. Not where you are now.
I never saw you sit up, or your first steps. Never saw you go to school for the first time or even gain or loose a tooth. As I sit and think of all we've missed out on, BUT, sweetheart Im so happy I had you for the 69 days that we did. You were so so special and still are to mummy and daddy.
I am so priviledge to have had such a special little man, and I know one day we will see you again. Hopefully very soon. I often wonder though what you and Mark would be like together, as hes so desprate for a bro.. as he says.
I love you son help us through these next few weeks, knowing that you birthday will soon be upon us once again. Hopefully we will have the strength to put something on you resting place this year sweetheart.
be a goodboy missing you always mummy xxxxxx
THE SILVERY MOON
I know that I went too early
And that God took me too soon
But sometimes Angels are needed
To fly over that silvery moon
I know that I was only young
I had many years ahead
But God needed an extra Angel
they had to be the best, he said
But dont be sad...Im happy
Even though Ive gone too soon
Look for me each night
In the light of that silvery moon
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
