Today we share with you a beautiful love story. The video and story come to us from The Netherlands and needs very little translation. The images say it all. We have included the English translation of the words in this song so that relate to how familiar this love story is to all of you. The link will take you to their Phéron Foundation Facebook page. They are looking forward to using their loss to help other families in The Netherlands. Please watch and share with them on their page as well as ours! From the family we share their email to us telling us a bit about their family and baby. Below that you will find the translation to the music on their video. Paul and I know each other since high school, since we were seventeen (2003), totally in love (and still). Paul is a real gentleman, he often suprises me with roses. We love to make music together, he plays the guitar and I sing. We also like cooking, delicious food, playing the piano, reading, having good conversations and love to be with family and friends. After University we moved in together. In 2011 Paul proposed me in the beautiful silent mountains of Austria. It was a lovely period in our lives, one year later we got married and the love story continued in March 2013 were we were happily surprised when we got a positive pregnancy test. A small mini us was on it’s way. We couldn’t be happier! The pregnancy went flawless, our baby was doing very well. As parents to be we were very energetic and couldn’t wait to hold our lovely baby. I, Sharon felt very good during my pregnancy. There is no greater happiness then carrying a precious small life inside of you. We felt so lucky, Phéron gave me as mommy to be so much energy, I was glowing. Phéron was very busy in my belly, on our echo we saw him playing and smiling. He was having fun, that’s for sure. Paul and I were searching for names and couldn’t find one name that we both liked. We thought of a mixed name of Paul & Sharon and then Sharon came up with Phéron. The P from Paul and the “héron” from (S)haron (pronunciation of Phéron is the same as Sharon). To us, the three names felt like a small lovely unity. His name felt so complete to us. After 39 weeks I got contractions, they came every 30 minutes. We were so excited, the babyroom was ready, his first clothing, the envelopes were stamped and the baby candy table (we made a special table with celebration candy and decorations) was ready. Phéron could be here within a few hours. I felt good until I had a contraction of 13 minutes. Paul called the obstetrician, she went, just to be sure, over to our house to ease us and give a regular check. She came and we couldn’t hear Phéron his heartbeating. Strange. Normally we hear his heart beating immediately when we are at the obstetrician. She called the hospital and we went directly to the gynecologist for an echo. Her eyes were enough for me to see what was going on. She told us that his heart stopped beating. We couldn’t do anything, no heart action. My contractions continued, the next day, early in the morning I gave birth to our beautiful son Phéron. We are still proud parents, parents of an angel. Holding and seeing him was the most intense, loved and purest moment in our lives. Phéron was totally healthy, they never found the exact reason for his death. He was perfect but not breathing. We still look positively back on the nine months, when he was part of our lives. We cherise this months and moments, the months were he gave us so much love, energy and joy. His brief life has touched us in many ways and still touches us. His spirit and energy will live on, through the hearts and eyes of his parents. And hopefully we can enlighten the world with the energy he left behind on earth through the Phéron Foundation. Thank you for sharing our story/video with families all over the world. It means a lot to us. We hope that other parents can find strength and inspiration in our video. They are not alone indeed, everywhere around the world there are grieving parents and if we bundle our strengths and experiences, we can hopefully enlighten the grief a bit of all parents who miss their babies every day. With love, Paul Struik Sharon Gajadin and Our Son, Phéron Mahendra Ramesh Struik Over I feel you Around me Youre the only one I think of I hear your voice I see you Everywhere I always take you with me Wherever I am So touchable And so close Hold on to me Wherever I am That’s where you are You actually never have been away Like a shadow you follow me In my house, in my mind I should be free, but Im not It is over, but it hasn’t passed yet I don’t know What it is But I miss you so Whatever I do Invisible But yet so close Hold on to me Wherever I am That’s where you are You actually never have been away Like a shadow you follow me In my house, in my mind I should be free, but Im not It’s over, but it hasn’t passed yet Are your days Without me Better than our life together?
