To all my GTS friends. I had another baby girl on 2nd December 2009. Her name is Phoebe Louise Orchard. She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 51cm long. She is perfectly healthy and we feel so very lucky to have her in our family along with Chelsea (aged 4) and her big brother Angel James. xxx
James was my first child. He was born on the 21st July 2004. I had a normal pregnancy and thought everything was ok. The birth was a bit tricky but he came out and was fine. 36 hours later we were in the nursery - he was sick. He had microcephaly. Five days later he had his first seizure. James spent 7 weeks in hospital and then came home with us so we could live as normal life as possible, that's what the Doctors told us to do - looking back I think that was good advice. James' seizures were difficult to manage in his first year of life. He still managed to breast feed though and eat normally. Then just before his first birthday he came down with bronchialitis - that was when the respiratory problems started for James. Nevertheless James showed everyone the meaning of strength and courage - he always got better. He was just the most adorable little boy with the biggest blue eyes, the longest eyelashes and the cutest smile you've ever seen. He could make lots of noises to tell us what he wanted and would throw a tantrum like any normal two year old - especially when his sister Chelsea arrived when he was 2.2 years old, typical jealous sibling, but he loved her to bits and she adored him too. I know she misses him terribly, just as we all do. James died 7th November 2007 after suffering another pneumonia because of a constant pseudomonas infection that was in his lungs. We took him to a place called Very Special Kids here in Melbourne which is a hospice - he died in my arms two days later. My heart is totally broken. I love him so much.
4 Years Without You
Dear James
It’s been four long years without you
And it still feels like yesterday
That your life was still here with us
Now it’s just not the same
We think about you everyday
And feel your presence here
When the wind is blowing
Or the leaves are rustling
We know that you are here
When the sun is shining
And the birds are singing
When the stars are twinkling
And the moon is glowing
You are here James,
You are here.
Love you so much James
Mummy, Daddy, Chelsea & Phoebe

Heartache
Ten tiny fingers upon your little hand,
Ten dainty toes on your feet to help you to stand,
I look into your sleeping face and my heart is filled with love,
How can something so beautiful now be an Angel above?
Your eyelashes so long upon your sweet face,
No one will ever take your place,
The joy we all waited for is now replaced by tears,
The numbness, the heartache, along with all our fears,
I want to hold you in my arms and never let you go,
My darling child,how I love you so,
A part of me went with you the day you were called home,
I feel that my world has stopped and I feel so much alone,
I gently place you down for one last time,
Tears are on my face as I whisper, "peace be thine",
Without you I am nothing, and never will be again,
All I feel is heartache and a huge, huge pain,
My darling child you will be loved and missed every single day,
Goodbye is to final a word for me to ever say,
God only gave you to us to borrow,
Loved today, yesterday and for all the tomorrows.

Happy 7th Birthday James
Today is your birthday
and you would have been seven,
we wish you were here James
but instead you’re in heaven.
We miss your smile and big blue eyes
We miss your cuddles and kisses goodnight
We know that one day we’ll see you again
But for now our darling just run with the wind.
Happy Birthday James

Happy 6th Birthday James
You are our big boy now
And we still see you in our lives

You visit us from time to time
when we are feeling sad
And it’s nice to feel you with us again
and for that we are glad.
Have a happy Birthday James

Always in our hearts and thoughts
For now and forever to come.
Love always,

I saw this and thought it was ever so beautiful I thought I would share it xxx
Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
A Mother's Crown
Heaven lit up with His mighty presence,
as all the Angels looked down.
Today the Lord was placing the jewels
in all the mother's crowns.
As He held up a golden crown,
as all the mother's looked on.
He said in His gentle voice,
"I just want to explain each stone."
He held the first gem in His hand
but the radiance couldn't match His own.
For He was the light of Heaven,
reflecting off each of the stones.
"The first gem," He said, "is an emerald,
and it's for endurance alone,
for all the nights you waited up
for your children to come home.
For all the nights by their bedside,
you stayed till the fever went down.
For nursing every little wound,
I add this emerald to your crown."
"A ruby, I'll place by the emerald,
for leading your child in the right way.
For if you hadn't taught them about Me,
they wouldn't be here with you today.
For always being right there,
through all life's important events.
I give you a sapphire stone,
for the time and love you spent."
"For untying the strings that held them,
when they grew up and left home.
I give you this one for courage."
Then the Lord added an amethyst stone.
"I'll place a stone of garnet," He said.
"For all the times you spent on your knees,
when you asked Me to take care of your children,
and then for having faith in Me."
"I have a pearl for every little sacrifice
that you made without them knowing.
For all the times you went without,
to keep them happy, healthy, and growing."
"And last of all I have a diamond,
the greatest of all gems,
for those mother's who lost their children
when they came home to Heaven before them."
"This is the most precious sacrifice.
So I give them the most precious stone.
For I know just how you felt...
I too lost a child of My own."
After the Lord placed the last jewel in,
He said, "Heaven is now complete.
For every mother has her crown of jewels,
and all her children are at her feet."
