I am off to Canada on sunday and will be back on the 2nd of feb. I will still try to light candles
as and when i can while i'm out there.
If u light a candle for miles, would you be so kind to light a candle for his little sister chloe
sturgess and their cousin Marcus Holmes. Thankyou.
Miles Aaron Rawlins died on the 20th July 1988. He was 171/2 months old. Miles' problems began when
he was three days old, the first problem being that he didn't wake up or even cry. He was put into
intensive care, as he seemed really floppy, like a ragdoll and he couldn't suck from a bottle, so he
had to be tube fed. He weighed 8lb 6oz when he was born and only weighed 13lb 2oz when he died. he
was the size of a six month old. He had every test going, to try and find out what was causing the
problems, he had chest infection after chest infection and eventually died from bronchial pneumonia.
It was thirteen years after he died, i was told that he had Rett Syndrome like my daughter Chloe
Sturgess. In 1988 Rett Syndrome wasn't known about in this country.
Miles was a lot like Chloe, he was always very happy. He only ever cried twice in his life. He loved
to be around men and other children. He was also like Chloe in the way of he loved himself, he would
just stare at himself in the mirror for ages. Miles was a perfect baby, apart from all his problems.
Miles was my first baby, and to lose him was devastating. The worst thing of all was i didn't even
know what was wrong with him. I had to wait for seven years before i had another baby. That baby was
Chloe. I believed she was normal, but once she got to eight months old, thats when things started
going wrong. By the time she got to five, i knew that i had been here before, it was just happening
a lot slower. I was never able to move on from Miles because of Chloe having the same problems. Both
of these children were very loving and i hope that they are now both looking after each other.
if only i could do this
if tears could build a stairway,
and memories make a lane,
i'd walk right up to heaven,
and bring you back again

19 years today.
Miles, my special little boy. I can't believe that you became an angel baby 19 years ago today. You were born with the looks of an angel, and you were always so good. When i use to take you shopping, People would ask me if you were a real baby or a little doll. You was always a popular baby, just like Chloe. One of your own doctors use to call himself your daddy, when you became an angel he looked absolutely gutted. I loved and miss you as much now as i did then. I hope you are having fun with Chloe. Please look after her for me, until i'm able to be with you both again. You and Chloe were and will always be so special to me. Neither of you will ever be forgotten. Love you both so very very much. Look after each other. Give Chloe a great big kiss for me. Love you forever.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Deep within your Eyes.
You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold onto the love and life we had before you died.Uncle
In a baby castle just beyond my eye,
My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who am i to wish him back,
Into this world of strife?
No, play on my baby,
You have eternal life.
At night when all is silent
And sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear his tiny footsteps coming running to my side.
His little hands caress me,
So tenderly and sweet.
I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes
and embrace him in my sleep.
Now i have a treasure that i rate above all other,
I have known true glory-
I am still his mother.
A Child Loaned
'I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine.' He said.
'For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.'

to a pretty boy with a gorgeous name
i dont remember much about miles as i was very young. i know he was a very pretty boy that got mistaken for being a girl. i remember him in a little blue baby grow with lots of hair and always smiling. i know he has been waiting for his sister so he can look after her just like big brothers should do. i believe these little angels are looking after each other, having fun and i hope being naughty. i may not remember much about miles but there is one thing for sure i will never forget what i do remeber.
love you lots angel x x x x x
