Kieran Joel Redfern-Larden
Born 3rd September 2007 at 7:13pm
He weighed 584grammes (1lb 5oz)
Died 28th September 2007 at 4:17pm. Aged 3 weeks old.
Kieran had a blood clot in his head and had to have an operation in order to give him a chance to
live, it was causing a lot of pressure on his tiny brain and sadly my little angel didn't make
it out of theater.
Kieran & Joel both had a big brother called Leon who is 18 months old.
Sadly i never got to meet my baby angel Joel. I loved him instantly. I held him for a very long time
and gave him a little kiss goodbye. It was so hard for me to let go. My baby boy meant so much to
me, we were looking forward to seeing him grow up and play with his two brothers. We love him more
than anything and always will, he will always be our baby boy and we will never forget him.
Mummy And Daddy love you always sweetheart.

Kieran was on the special care baby unit. We went to see our little darling everyday, he looked so
cute in his incubator wrapped up in his little snuggle blanket. The first time i touched him his
skin was so warm and soft, he gripped hold of my little finger just like he never wanted to let go.
We changed his nappy and did his mouth care everyday, he made me smile the way he used to grip my
finger everytime i touched him.
I remember the first time i held him, it was magical. The nurses put him against my skin and i never
wanted to let go.
He even opened his eyes, everytime when we went in we always said hello sweetheart and he opened his
eyes. He had the most beautiful blue eyes i had ever seen.
I'm so sorry i will never get to see you grow up darling.
Mummy And Daddy love you always sweetheart.

So sorry
Janet and Mark, we are all so sorry about your losses. We can't pretend to understand how you are feeling. Just know that these two precious babies are with the Lord. I know this is hard to understand, but He will take the very best care of them and they know you. My prayer for you is that you find comfort in this most difficult of times, may you know the peace that passes all understanding. We love you and care so much. Rest in peace Kieran and Joel. God Bless.
Our love and thoughts to you all xx
Mark and Janet, i am sat here with your uncle David after watching and reading such wonderful tributes from so many people, some strangers who have never ever met you. Tears are rolling down my face with memories of seeing Keiran in the incubator and remembering how tiny he looked, but what a fighter he was. When the phone call arrived to say he had joined his brother Joel in heaven we were devastated for you all - words cannot express how you must be feeling - but this sight is such a wonderful comfort and to hear that you are both doing so much to keep Kieran and Joel's memories alive - its wonderful. You are both blessed with kindness and thoughtfulness and we are so proud in what you are doing. God Bless to you both and to Leon. Uncle Dave and Tina xxxxxxxxx
I hope you are both up in heaven with us each looking down on your mammy and daddy to take care of them. I cant picture what this is like myself but I am sending millions of hugs your way. Take care xxxx
This is very nice
I definitly know the pain you are feeling and its awful that any of us have to feel this way. If you ever need to talk, feel free to email. Try and stay strong...I know its hard but you have another child who needs your love as well. *Big hugs*
RIP Kieran and Joel

Having also had a prematurebaby I know the strugles you faced as a family each day together with the trials your little ones faced. My Daughter Oliviawas born at 26 weeksgestation and also only weighed one pound 2 ounces she lostweight after her birth and weighed under 1 pound at one point, she also sufferedseveralsetbacks and major hurdles, but overcame them all and eventually came home from Hospital she gre int othemost beautiful princess but at aged 3 she was diagnosed with Cancer, once again she fought and fought and we thought she would comethrough as she was an amazingly strong and determined little fighterunfortunately this was notto be and on 25th December 2006 she sadly lost her fight. Wemiss her every second of every day and each day is so incredibly difficult without her. I would just like to say I am so sorry for the loss you have suffered but pleaseknow you will be in my thoughts each and every day.

The story of the Four Candles.
The Four Candles burned slowly.
Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...
The first candle said, 'I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep me lit.'
Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
The second candle said, 'I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer indispensable.'
Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.
Sadly the third candle spoke, 'I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer.'
'People put me aside and don't understand my importance.
They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.'
And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.
Suddenly...
A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning.
The child began to cry,
'Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end.'
Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy,
'Don't be afraid, for I Am Hope, and while I still burn,
we can re-light the other candles.'
With shining eyes, the child took the Candle of Hope
and lit the other three candles.
Never let the Flame of Hope go out.
With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be,
Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again.
