This website is a small memorial to our beautiful boy Shay Goodheir Curtis who was born sleeping on 16th October 2006.

He left a devastated mummy and daddy and his big sister Erin who will never forget him. We are so happy to have his wee brother Finn here safely with us.

It is nearly two years since Shay left us but he is in our hearts forever.

Sweet dreams my darlin' boy

Shay's life was far too short but as his Uncle Paul said "he is more loved in his time than some people are in a life time"

One day we will tell Shay's story. Please feel welcome to light a candle or leave a message to our darlin' boy who touched all of our lives forever

On the day of Shay's funeral we wrote a letter to explain how we feel - two years on this remains the same:

Dear Loved Ones

Our son Shay Goodheir Curtis was born on Monday 16th October 2006. We are grateful that he did not suffer and that he was in a beautiful place and was with his Mummy when he died. He weighed 5lb 4 oz and is the double of his big sister Erin. We love him so much.

We had already picked the name 'Shay' because we thought it was beautiful and we have since found out that Shay means 'gift'. All we ask is that you remember him as a gift. A part of our family for all of us to cherish, love and never forget.

We have lost our son and Erin has lost her wee brother. You have lost a grandson, a nephew or a friend. Sleep in peace darlin' son - we will never forget you. We know we will see you everyday when we look at your big sister Erin.

All our love

Chris, Claire, Erin and Shay

Shay's Granny Irene wrote a poem for him that she read at his funeral:

A GIFT

This little one, your precious son
Who didn't get to stay
Has claimed his birthright here tonight
Forever and a day

This cherished joy, your little boy
Who fought so hard to stay
Has carved his name upon our hearts
Remembered every day

This perfect gift will heal all rifts
And in our hearts will stay
Reminding us of life and love
In his own special way

Irene Goodheir

My beautiful bhoy Shay
Well, today you should have started school. My heart once again feels broken, not that its ever mended since the day I lost you. I want you to know that you are in my thoughts every day, today just seemed to sting a bit more.

I miss you more

My Darlin boy
Nearly 4 years have passed you since you left me, since I held you. I wish there were words to explain what you mean to me and how much I miss you.
Love you more

Your run

My darlin' boy
Well I did it! As I promised you too long ago, I ran 10K for you today and you were in my mind for every step. I wish I'd never had to know about SANDS and I never had to write on this page, but I did and I hope today was fitting for your memory.
Love you more my beautiful Shay

LITTLE SNOWDROP SHAY

The world may never notice
If a snowdrop never blooms
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 way
For all eternity.

This 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.

"When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn't a word to describe them."

Someone emailed me this today and it made a lot of sense
I miss you boy

My Beautiful Son
I don't know why but lots of tears have come again for you my darlin' Shay. I am doing well and am more settled than I've been since you died, but today - today is a sad day.
There isn't a logical reason other than the simple fact that you aren't here and it will always be wrong. I love you so much.
Love forever
Mummy
