John gavin Hamilton
Born 23 jan 1985-10th dec 1985
Twin brother of James
Died aged 10 and a half months to cot death
I was only 16 years old when i discovered i was pregnant and expecting twins , i didn't know whether
to laugh or cry , i was both scared and excited at the same time ,i had to stay in hospital best
part of 5 months , not because i was poorly or because you or your twin were poorly but mainly to
keep an eye on me i think it was because i was so young .
You were born 11 minutes after your twin brother James and you were both a good weight although a
month prem you weighed 6lbs 2 oz ,James weighed 5lbs 11oz , I will never forget the first time i
seen you both in special care , i couldn't believe both these beautiful babies were mine i was
amazed i had never seen new born babies before so tiny and frail , you were allowed up to the ward
the next day but James had to stay in special care , i don't think i put you down the whole day i
just kept staring at you , you were so beautiful and perfect .
A week later i got to take both of you home , i had gone from a little girl to a mum over night and
i loved it , dressing you both the same ,going for walks with you both in your twin pram everyone
fussing over you both .
Although nearly 23 years has passed since you fell asleep my heart still aches for you , i keep
thinking what if, what if i hadnt put you to bed that night and just held you , what if what if.
Never a day goes by i don't think about you baby or wonder what you would be doing today , i love
and miss you so much , night night baby boy and until i get to hold you again i will keep you in my
heart xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mum
A gorgeous baby boy
lent not given
to bud on earth
and flower in heaven
Not a day goes by i don't think about you darling, i miss you and love you so much x x x love mummy

I will 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 years,
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 this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over,
In search for teachers 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 take him home again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done!'
For all the joys Thy child shall bring,
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've planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
And try to understand.

Though your smile is gone forever,
Your hands we cannot touch,
Still we have so many memories,
Of the ones we love so much
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part,
God has you in his keeping,
While we have you in our hearts
On angel wings you do fly
On angel wings into the sky
On angel wings i do cry
Because those angel wings took you away
On angel wings the heralds sing
Is there no such lovely thing?
On angel wings you fly away.
I will see these angel wings again someday
When i am old and my time has come
On angel wings I will fly
Until I'm holding you once again
Smiling on angel wings.
