This is a group to pay tribute to my beautiful son, Kobey Adam Richardson, who passed away in my
arms on 6.3.07 aged just 15days.
When he was born, the doctors presumed he was a happy healthy baby and discharged us both from
hospital.
He seemed ok, until his 15th day, where he was really lethargic and wouldnt drink any milk. my gp
thought he had a chest infection so sent us to a childrens ward in leicester royal infrimary. In the
car on the way there, i couldn't stop thinking that this could be the last music kobey would hear.
the last song on the radio was 'Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.'
When we got there, they thought he may have meningitis, so took him off for a lumbar puncture. It
was unsuccesful as the sample got contaminated with blood. He was in a lot of pain from this, and
the nurses wouldn't let us hold him. The nurse made a 'nest' in the cot, and i took loads of
pictures of him. He was on a drip, and although he was in pain, in my eyes he looked as if he was
getting better, as his jaundice was fading loads. stupidly, It wasn't until later when i reviwed the
pictures that i realised he was turning grey, he was dying in front of me, and i was happily
(naively) thinking he was going to be fine.
They kept doing loads of tests on him, checking his acid levels in his blood and his oygen sats, as
they were getting lower. After about the 8th/9th time of checking these levels, a nurse picked him
up and ran with him. We still didnt know what was wrong, and we were still being told he would be
ok. we were left on the ward wondering what was happening. i was screaming down the corridoor after
the nurse, but she just told me to stay there. A different nurse came back and said he had been
rushed to intesive care, she felt the feminal pulses in his legs and there were none. so, kobey lost
his legs.
We weren't allowed in to intensive care, but a doctor came out and told me she thought kobey had a
heart condition, and they were trying to resucitate him with cardiac massage.
Finally, after a lot of begging, They then allowed me in, he looked so small with all these nurses
around, and all these tubes in him. i stood there crying, wishing him to come through, i touched his
legs and they were cold. I just kept rubbing them as hard as i could screaming. 'come on kobey, wake
up for mummy, stop pretending now little man' The nurse told me i had to leave as i was getting too
upset. I ran out of there and ran to the hospital chapel, crying my eyes out, screaming for him to
be saved. I came back up to the itu, and the nurse was waiting for me. She told me i could go back
in again. When i went in there they took me into a side room and said i could hold him. At this
point i didn't realise what was happening. i thought for some reason he was better. Anyway, i held
him, i cuddled him as tight as i could and i kissed his head. he was still slightly warm. They then
pronounced him dead in my arms on 6.3.07, within 5minutes of me holding him.
Me, my mum and Ross held him for hours, i wish it could be forever though. We bathed him, took
prints of his hands and feet, and we had a chaplain come and bless him. It was the most horrible
feeling in the world having to hand him over to the nurse, and leave the hospital with an empty car
seat. i begged the nurse to look after him when we left, crying my eyes out, saying 'he's too young
to be left alone, he needs his mummy.' It didn't hit me at that point that i would never get to hold
my precious little boy again.
I finally got in the car to come home, and the first song that was on the radio again, was Chasing
cars by Snow Patrol. i knew this was a sign, and decided id have it played at his funeral.
Kobey had to have a post mortem which showed that he did have congenital heart disease, he had a
coarctation, a narrowing in the main aorta. He also had a hole in his heart. So, he was pretty much
slowly dying for the 15days he was here. There was an inquest held, as this should have been picked
up during my pregnancy scans, as i did have 6, and also could have been picked up at birth.
We held his funeral on 16.3.07. He was dressed in blue denim dungarees, and had his white coffin
full of teddy bears with him, and pictures of our family. It was beautiful. We hired 2 white horses
and a white carriage, and the horses had baby blue plumes. We had all his flowers in white and baby
blue. We had chasing cars by snow patrol, and you'll be in my heart by phil collins played at the
church service. everything was perfect, for such a perfect little man. He was the buried in Mill
lane cemetary, in Earl shilton.
We'll love you forever baby boy. Rest in Peace. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Ward working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the BEST
If we could have a lifetime wish
And one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
Hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
And neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
And precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

a poem for mummy
A poem for mummy
I am an angel up above
I look down on my mummy and send her my love
I know she is hurting and often crys
I see the sadness in her eyes I want to tell mummy from my place in the sky
That i have been given wings and now i can fly
I sneak down to mummy and watch her at night
deep in her dreams when she is holding me tight
I am an angel pure and free
I have lots of friends to play with me
I am in magical place where i can come to no harm
I am safe i am happy i am snuggly and warm
I know she cant see me
But please believe i am hear
I stand by her shoulder
I will always be here xxxx
Kisses to Heaven~
Today I sent a kiss to Heaven
I'm encouraging all of you to try
For if I have shared this with you
You have had a child die.
This kiss came from deep inside
And I know that it truly was received
Right after I had sent my kiss
A calming breeze surrounded me.
Not only that, a wind chime rang
From where I do not know
But I felt my children smile at me
And say they love me so.
Take a kiss within your hands
And look up to the sky
Release that kiss with loving care
Now please try not to cry.
Once your kiss is off to them
To Heaven's gate above
Just look for any single sign
Of your child's precious love.

goodbye
goodbye
No farewells were spoken, we
did not say "goodbye,"
You were gone before we knew
it and only God knows why,
You left us precious memories
that made us laugh and cry,
but the love you planted in our
hearts no millionaire can buy.
If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
we would walk right up to
Heaven, and bring you home again.
broken chain
we little knew that morning
that god was going
to call your name
in life we loved you dearly
in death we do the same
it broke our hearts to lose you
you did not go alone
for part of us went with you
the day god called you home
you left us peaceful memories
your love is still our guide
and though we cannot see you
you are always at our side
our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same
but as god calls us
one by one
the chain will link again
Goodnight
I cant't reach out
To comfort you
Or hold your tiny hand
The precious dreams i held
Cant be fulfilled the way i planned.
Sometimes i say a little prayer
In hope, perhaps i might
Have one last chance to tuck you in
Before i say goodnight
So much i would have shared with you
But as we had to part,
There's just an empty silence
Echoes in my broken heart.
