Dedicated to the memory of Ethan Kirkham

This site is a tribute to Ethan Kirkham, who was born in St Mary’s Manchester on November 26, 2018. He is much loved and will always be remembered.

On 26th November 2018 our world was pulled apart when Chrissie went in to labour at only 21weeks pregnant. Baby Ethan who had a heart beat only hours before didn’t survive his arrival and was to small to carry on. Our beautiful baby was perfect in every way and although he was less than a pound he had full grown features, and looked just like his daddy. This extremely difficult time was made that bit slightly easier with the amazing support of the staff and facilities at Saint Mary’s Hospital. The rainbow room was made available to our family and allowed Jonny and Chrissie to be together, while Chrissie recovered for few days in hospital. We never believed that we would ever need a charity but we did need this. Words can’t express how much this support meant to us and we would like to give a little something back. We aren’t the first family to go through this heartbreak and sadly we won’t be the last. Please give what you can to support this amazing charity

Thoughts

Beautiful poem Teardrops read by Jonny at Ethan’s grave. Teardrops are falling. We embrace this sad day. A sweet little baby has just passed away. So perfect his spirit, so perfect his love, So perfect a gift from a Father above. Our child, your family is grieving this day, In our hearts God has told us why you couldn’t stay. A spirit so special, so perfect, and pure, should not have the trials of this life to endure. You wanted a family, that’s why you came. To be loved on earth, and given a name. Then back to our Heavenly Father you went, fulfilling the mission for which you were sent. Although our grief is heavy this day, we know you are happy, and not far away. Loved ones have gathered close to your side. Life is Eternal… you’ve really not died. Know that we love you with all of our heart. We’ll see you our dear one when this life we part. Save us a place where we’ll be close to you, and in joy we’ll embrace, as our love we renew. by: Ron Tranmer ©

Ethan our beautiful grandson. We only met for a short time while you were sleeping. If you had been able to open your eyes you would have seen the love we have for you. We are so sad that we will miss seeing you learn and grow. The fun we would have, the games we would play, the kisses and cuddles are gone but the absolute love for you will always live in our hearts forever. Sleep peacefully darling Ethan Love forever Nan and Grandad xx
