Welcome
once again to all our visitors, from England and overseas,
to Our Samuel's 1st Heavenly Birthday Pages!
I still cannot
believe that we have actually got to where we are
today with the heartache and eternal yearning for our two
precious little boys. I remember giving Birth to our
Jack & Sam as though it
was yesterday, and now, here I sit, 14 months later and just
6 weeks
after
holding Sam's 1st Heavenly Birthday Memorial, wondering just
how on earth have we really got through this so far!
There was
so much to arrange for Sam's Day, so much to organise and so much to
prepare. It took months of planning and organisation,
but the time went by way too fast ~ and here I am now, sitting
at my PC, starting the 'online' preparations of this very
special day to be added to Sam & Jack's 'Special
'Heavenly Home' on the Internet!
There are
many links to click on, on the Left Hand side of this
page! They start from the 'Planning Stage' of Sam's
Day, through to the 'Morning of Sam's Birthday', 'the
meeting of myself and Lynda Beaumont', 'the Church Service',
'the 500 Balloon Release on Mersea Beach', 'the Sponsorship
money Raised in Memory of Sam and where it was donated to,
and finally, the ending of Sam's 1st Birthday
celebrations...
On the link
titled ~ 'Morning of Sam's Day/Lynda's Arrival', you can
read about the very special moment that Lynda and I actually
met! Lynda contacted me last August 2002 after she
came across 'Jack and Sam's' Website through a Search
Engine!'. We became firm friends from the very first email
correspondence that we had.
We invited
Lynda and her family to come down and share Sam's very
special day with us here in Essex. This was to be the 'first
time we met', and on such a very emotional day, it was also a
very emotional meeting.
We would
also like to take this opportunity here to Thank 'John
Worland' for his time, his experience and his understanding
for 'videoing' Sam's day once again for us, (as he did our
Jack's day also) and for everything that he is doing
for us and our family and most importantly for 'Potters
Syndrome'.
Please
click on the Link to the left to read more about John
Worland and what he is doing in his power to help
parents/families of Potters Syndrome Babies.
We also
wish to Thank once again, Beverley's Balloons for the
absolutely beautiful Balloons
that she provided for Sam's Day. Please visit the
Link to Beverleys' Balloons to see just how beautiful these
Balloons were and all the work involved in the preparation
of such a large Release.
So to end
on, please check out all the links to the left of the page
and enjoy visiting and seeing the photos of our
Samuel~Jack's 1st Heavenly Birthday Celebrations!
