Jack and Henry Lancashire
Born Sleeping 3/04/2008
Beautiful 2 sons of Karen and David
Identical Twin Boys
Jack and Henry were the most gorgeous two boys. They were born sleeping one month early, grew wings
and are now resting in heaven. They are looking after each other. We all want you to know that we
love both of you very very much and we will never ever forget you. everyone thinks about you every
single minute of every single day, forever.
Sleep tight my little angels. Be good boys, and look after each other.
All my love, hugs and kisses.

The day i found out i was pregnant was the best day of my life, or so i thought at the time, but
this happiness was nothing compared to how i felt when they told me on my first scan i was expecting
twins! I couldnt believe that i had been blessed with two of you, i knew then that you were boys, i
was even the one who told the sonographer, "its boys isnt it" i chimed with a beaming smile on my
face.
You were going to be my first babies, and i couldnt wait for you to come along, identical twins i
would say, i cant believe i have been blessed with this! I watched my tummy grow and grow and grow
and thought how much bigger can i actually get! Every time i felt you kick i would giggle, the
sonographer told me i had strong healthy footballers in there and there were a few punches being
thrown between you two, i remember thinking i better keep an eye on you two when you get here, oh i
couldnt wait.
I bought you both matching little outfits, shoes, toys blankets cots the list goes on and on!
Everytime i would get asked how long i had left and i would explain i was having identical twins i
beamed with pride, people kept telling me how lucky i was and i truly knew that. i watched you on
the computer screen every week on my scans, growing and kicking, and i remember saying i just want
them here i want to see them both and hold them and cuddle them and love them, but my world changed
the day they told me i would never get to do that.
April 1, aprils fools day i went to the hospital, i hadnt felt you two kicking very much but thought
maybe you were kicking each other instead of me! When the midwife scanned you he didnt talk. the
room was silent. i knew then, i prayed that they had got it wrong, that you were just sleeping or
playing a trick on mummy, but you werent. i literally felt my heart break, i just wanted to run out
and tell them they were wrong, my little angels coulnt be dead because they were meant to be born in
just a few weeks, they had to be wrong they just had to. But they werent.
You were born 2 days later, only seven minutes apart, Jack first at 2lbs13 and Henry following at
2lb9, I couldnt believe how much I loved you. Just cry a litlle bit please i silently begged, please
please please., please say they got it wrong, I have two beautiful babies with me dont make me say
goodbye. You were both blessed in the hospital and to this day i believe you went to heaven holding
hands. Im so glad you have each other to look after, mummy misses you every single minute of every
single day.
I dont know why i didnt get to keep you, and i dont know why i had to say goodbye before i even got
to say hello but i do know that you were truly the most precious thing that has ever happened to me
and i will hold you in my heart always. My little princes so beautiful, i cant wait to meet you
again, you wait for me till we can be together again, and untill then you go and jump on the clouds.
I will find the brightest two stars in the sky and make a wish upon them to see you again.

mummy has just been to get some shopping and saw some little outfits that i would have loved to been able to buy for you. it made me sad, thinking of the days when you were in my tummy and mummy bought you loads of matching little outfits. i miss you both so much, which seems crazy because i suppose i never even had you. but i love you so much and always will and i cant wait to see you again and hold you and cuddle you. xxx
for my angels
Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man,'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me ♥XX
well today is 6 months boys, i hope you have been enjoying yourselfs and nanny is looking after you, i would love to see you now just a glimpse of what you look like.i wish that we could turn back time and have u back with us. just know that everyone who knew you when you were inside your mummy's tummy loves you with all their heart. you touched the lives of so many people its unbelievable.
keep dancing on those clouds, playing, shining in the sky and sending all your love down to us. love you jack and henry xxxx
its been 6 months today since you were born, i cant believe how quickly it has gone, they say that time heals the pain, but so far it hasnt done anything for me. i miss you the same now as i did then, i cry the same amount of tears now than i did the day i found out and i still have the exact heavy dull pain that i carry round in my heart wishing that you were both with me. i love you both so so so much and i would give anything in the world to have you here with me now. i wish i didnt have to feel anger and hate to all the mummies who got to keep there babies, i wish i didnt stare at other babies and wonder if you would have looked like that. i wish i didnt break down in tears everytime i see identical twin boys, but most of all i wish i could turn back time and have you here with me, the way it was suppose to be. mummy loves you very much and cant wait to see u again xxx

FLY HIGH LITTLE ANGEL'S
Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
for my beautiful boys
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without
Im so sorry for your loss reading your story made me cry your little boys are so beautiful. I can just imaging what perfect little angels they are making up in heaven with those big white wings.
Im sure they are playing with all the other angel babys and swinging on the pearly gates i know thats where my little girl would be cos what child dosnt like swinging on a gate.
Im here if you need to chat as im sadly one of those people who can say i know how it feels to lose a child.
God bless all your family you are in my prayers
Sleep tight Jack and Henry your now safe in gods care.
