Eoin Butler, our precious baby, was born at 9.38pm on 17th October 2007, in the Coombe Women's
Hospital, Dublin.
At his 22 week antenatal scan, Eoin was diagnosed with bilateral renal agenesis (no kidneys). So for
three months, we waited for his arrival both with anticipation and excitement at the thought of
meeting him, and also with great sadness, knowing that he wouldnt be with us for long after birth.
He arrived unexpectedly, and showed us how strong he was, fighting to be with us for over two
precious hours. And he was perfect. Gorgeous curly red hair, little button nose and mouth, and the
most perfect little hands and feet.
He died very peacefully in his mum's arms in the early hours of 18th October 2007.
Eoin, you are so precious and so loved. We were lucky to have five very special hours with you. We
will miss you forever.

We remember him
In the rising of the sun and its going down,
we remember him.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember him.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
we remember him.
In the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn,
we remember him.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember him.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember him.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember him.
So long as we live, he will live,
for he is part of us.
And we remember him.
****************************************
If I could I'd want you here with me.
If I could change one thing,
that's what it would be.
If I could hold you to my heart
Let you know you were loved right from the start.
If I could we'd watch some flowers grow.
If I could we'd make angels in the snow.
If I could we'd run barefoot in the sand.
If I could I'd hold your little hand.
If I could we'd wave at passing trains.
Let our tongues feel drops of falling rain.
If I could together we'd fly a kite,
We'd give it a face and paint it all bright.
If I could change one thing,
that's what it would be
To have you here with me again.

Little Snowdrop
For my own precious little snowdrop, Eoin.........
The world may never notice if a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms, or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way for all eternity.
The little one we longed for was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty, our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts says that we love you.
Little Angel of LOVE
Your time was not now
You were not meant for me
A soul to look after
A child not to be
You were a gift
From the lord up above
A gift of an angel
Given with love
You were so tired
Of life not yet had
An angel in waiting
You left us so sad
But I am so grateful
For the time we were given
And I know that you watch us
With the other angels in heaven.
His Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t think of him as gone away
His journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of him as living
In the hearts of those he touched...
For nothing loved is ever lost
And he was loved so much.
BLESS YOU
A LITTLE BOY SO PRECIOUS,
A LITTLE BY SO NEW.
A LITTLE BOY WAS HEAVEN SENT
BUT NOT TO STAY WITH YOU.
HE SAW HIS LOVING PARENTS,
HE FELT THEIR WARMING LOVE.
HE ONLY STAYED A SHORT WHILE
HE IS NOW WITH GOD ABOVE.
HE IS SAFE AND FREE FROM PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND HE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN YOUR HEARTS. XX
