Connor Jake Cleary
Born 13-09-04 & Died 24-05-05
Connor jake was born on Monday 13th September at Calderdale Royal in Halifax. From the moment he was born his big sister Jessica was in love and followed him all over. She was like a mother hen. He was our little red haired, blue eyed pudding pants. With a smile that could make the darkest day so bright. We also called him Tigger (T I double G, er!) as he was always bouncing on your knee, in the bouncer, in the walker and anywhere he could really. He was a very chubby and loving little boy full of life and always mucky like a little boy should.
The day before he passed away I had found him in his cot - he was not breathing. His auntie, who was with me at the time, phoned for an ambulance while I started CPR. He was taken to Halifax and then to Leeds. The hospital staff had got a heartbeat but his chances were very slim as they had no idea of how long he had not been breathing. We stayed with him all night hoping, but he had no brain activity. So we called all our family and friends and they came to the hospital. He was baptised on the 24-05-05 and then we got him washed and dressed so he was a little bobby dazzler to say goodbye to all his family and friends. Myself and his daddy stayed with him when the machines were turned off and he passed away. He went to the angels wrapped in his mummy and daddys arms. He had swallowd a piece of foam from his pillow and we found out at a later date that he had the very early stages of bronchial pneumonia. It was having the two conditions which led to his death.
Connor, mummy and daddy love you and miss you so much. I hope you are in peace and are happy playing with the angels. I hope you have found your sister, Charlie, and all your family who have passed before you. There is not a minute goes by that we don't think about you and miss you. Jessica misses you terribly and keeps your memory very much alive. We hope you can hear her talking to you as she does often and sleeps with your little tigger you got on your holiday. You now have a little sister called Stephaine Kay who will never meet you but will know all about you. Mummy tried so hard to bring you back. I am so sorry you had leave us so soon - we had so much more love to give. But the love you gave and your beautiful smile are always with me.
I love you Connor Jake. Be happy and safe and remember you're always in my heart

Hi Son, my beautiful little man XX
This is a poem I found whilst wandering around, wondering why you had left us:
'Do not stand and my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not Sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there
I did not die.'
The moment I read this I knew that you hadn't left and you were always with me and your mum and sister. Jess Looks to the stars for you every night and talks about you all the time. We will make sure that Steph knows about you too and that you will always be loved and missed.
I miss you, my son, my little blue eyed wonder. Sleep well and I will be with you soon so that we can play together again.
Love you

Hi little man xx
Thinking about you lots. Miss you son x Been a struggle for the last few months. Lots of stuff going on that have made big changes in Mummy and Daddies lives. I hope you hear me speaking to you and hope that you give me a big bouncy hug now and again.
Jess mises you loads and loads and steph is just about at the age where she wants to know lots about you which can be a bit awkward at tomes as it's still painful to talk about you even now.
I love you little man, my beautiful blue eyed bouncing boy x Sleep well, sweet dreams and I'll speak to you soon xxx

Happy birthday Little Man xx Miss your smiling blue eyes and your bouncy bumps. So hard to know what to write sometimes. The pain of your loss is still strong, the hopes that I had lost to time that can not be given back.
Coming up to see you today. Hopefully the wind hasn't blown everything away! I'll see you in my dreams, as always.
Sleep well son xxxxx

Happy 6th Birthday son
Sorry I didn't write to you yesterday but it hurts too much sometimes. Went to see you and Mummy left you some flowers. Jess had a bit of a cry and she misses you lots too. While we were there I saw a balloon bouncing around and thought of you playing with it.
It still hurts that you aren't with us anymore. I miss you every day. Sweet dreams son, my beautiful little man xx

Happy 5th birthday connor wish you were here not a day goes by when i dont think of you love you and miss you loads love auntie daile and family
My wonderful bouncing baby boy.
It has taken me 5 years to be able to do this, to put into words the things i feel every day about the sadness of losing you my son, i know i have your sisters to love and i do love them oh so very very much, but God above knows i miss you and i wish you were here so i could give you the cuddles i give them. i am really only jealous because i know you are with all the rest of your other family up in heaven and they will be loving you instead of us. your sister Jessica is turning into a very beautiful young lady and your younger sister Stephanie is turning into a bundle of dynamite, i think you would have been the perfect person to sort her out.
Your Mommy and Daddy miss you so much as well as me and Grandma, that day in the hospital was probably the worst day of our lives, and although we have had some very happy times since, we never ever forget you, you are always always in our thoughts, I love you.
Grandad.
