We have set up this web site for two reasons. Firstly to provide up to date information for family and friends at a time when it may be difficult for them to get in touch with us. And secondly to share our experiences with people who may be in a similar position.

We have a baby due on the 14th November who has been diagnosed as having major heart defects and potentially many other problems.

This page will contain the latest details of our progress. These details will be transferred to the Diary to give a complete stage by stage account of our experience.

Latest Information 07/11/2006 Sam's 4th Birthday 
Sam would have been four years old today. And although four years has somehow gone past, and our lives are moving forwards, he is thought about every single day. He is missed every single day. And as yet still no answers to our question …why? …and still no reasons for his loss. Still searching. Despite this perpetual search, the effects of his loss have meant change in many aspects of so many other lives – and for the better. And not just at the immediate family level – yes we are all much closer, more appreciative and more tolerant of life’s little “quirks”. The WEB site is still being a source of information and comfort to so many people world wide, it gives us such pride in Sam for making this possible. We have, as I mentioned, moved forwards in many ways. Firstly, the birth of our daughter Stacey. She is nearly 2 ½ now and a proper little miss! Bags of fun and a real little treasure. She has been my personal saviour and she’s given the whole family so much pleasure. Secondly, we have moved house – a huge upheaval physically and mentally. Leaving Sam’s home behind was such a hard decision, and many a tear was shed. However I now realise that it was the best thing we could have done, in order to make the next steps forward with our life. I feel less burdened here, it’s a new start. And I don’t feel apart from him as I had imagined. He’s in my head and my heart all the time. The void in my life is now almost filled with Stacey and the new house – or should I say garden! We have an acre of land and lots of plans! The boys are doing really well in school (if showing the usual teenaged laziness) and seemingly growing taller daily! Simon is still working hard and the business thriving, despite a shaky start to the year - just as we take on a new house and mortgage!! I’m at home with Stacey and making the most of our time together. She’ll soon be off to nursery, and I’m already planning my time – a good sign. On another positive note we are planning a fundraiser at the end of November – a “Quiz and Curry Night” in the village hall in aid of the Wallace and Gromit Appeal. For the first time in 4 years I feel strong enough to stand up for the values Sam has bestowed on us, and have the enthusiasm to use this towards something positive. I finally feel like I’m finding the old Sarah again. At least most days - today is not one of them.
