We are a bit Freaked out.

[babyfoster]

As most of you are aware we lost Thomas's twin, our little angel Sarah on 4th November 2007.  Over the last 2 weeks or so Thomas now 22 months has been running around calling the name Sarah and singing Sarah Sarah were are you and other wee songs similar and talking to himself with the name Sarah mentioned. 

At first Shirley and I thought we were imagining things but he's repeating it time and time again and its as plain as day and to be honest its started to freak us out a bit.  We have never discussed Sarah in front of him and when Shirley and i talk about Sarah at anytime its when his out of the room or in bed.  We have never mentioned to anyone else in our families that we gave our daughter the name Sarah so they couldn't have told Thomas about his sister. 

We do intend to tell Thomas at some stage when he's older about the IVF and his little sister but hearing thomas these last couple of weeks has been really freaky.

Wow, That is strange, Perhaps he really does know of Sarahs presence 

I would try and look at it as a comforting thing but I know its hard when you really havent a clue where they get these things

We had thought the same thing as regards Thomas seeing his sister or maybe shes his guardian Angel or something.  The first time he said the name Sarah he was in his play pen with us sitting beside him and i can tell you it was a shock to hear him come out with the name. He's continued to sing these wee songs everyday for the last 2 weeks and to be honest its not so much freaky anymore i think its more my wife and i are more surprised at him though it is comforting to us as well.

  i bet sarah is playing with her brother. dont let this freak you out,just enjoy it when you can cos as children get older they dont see spirits anymore.my youngest used to see my angel all the time and tell us what she was doing and that she had a puppy with her etc. i looked into this and they say that someone on the other side often have an animal as a companion!! my youngest is 3 now and has stopped saying about caitlin  but i like to think that she is still here. take it as a comfort that your little girl is never far away. big  to you all.

My daughter ellisia was 15 months old when Enzo was born and i doubt she really remembered him , she was 18 months old when he passed away and only the last couple of months she says his name constantly she associates angels stars flowers balloons and windmills with him too she will be 3 in january im hoping Enzo is with her everyday and he is staying close to her as i hope your angel sarah is with her brother everyday

  and hugs to u both and  to angel sarah

I'd be freaked at first but also feel warmth and love ,
what a special little man Thomas is .

My Son Callum was 15months old when Caitlin was born sleeping he is 4 years old now and knows all about his sister, he lays every night and blows kisses up to the sky and says nite nite angel Caitlin and sumtimes me and my partner have heard him in his bedroom chatting away and when we ask who he is talking to he says my angel sister Caitlin, we dont know if Callum actually sees Caitlin or its just because he knows about her that he involves her in his play time.

Hi Neil,
Firstly, I am sorry Sarah is not here in your arms, I lost my son Tejay's twin to M/C, and I have always wondered if he knew, but the strangest things have happened, he is now 2yrs old. He constantly plays with his own hands, and it is not like he is just grabbing at them, whenever he is tired or upset he will do this and it is like one hand is actually playing/comforting the other one....
I find it comforting to know.. In my own little way I feel it is his twin there with him....
Also after losing my 2 yr old Daughter Nikayla, my daughter Maleiya was 6 months old when she died and they were so close, she still see's Nikayla and also my father who died when I was 17, I know this due to her explaining things about both of them that there is no other way she could of known....

It would feel so warm and beautiful, also bittersweet that Thomas is recognizing his sister around him... But I believe it certainly is possible.

Thinking of you and Shirley
