Story
Hello My name is Mark Steven Larden I am 21 Years old from Killamarsh North East Derbyshire, Me and my Partner Janet Marie Redfern aged 19 have set up this page in Loving Memory of our Beloved Son Kieran Joel Redfern-Larden who was born on the 3rd of September and sadly went to play with the Angels in Heaven on the 28th September.
The Money we raise goes Towards helping The special Care baby unit at Jessops Sheffield where the Baby’s receive first class care I can't praise the unit and it's staff highly enough the Nurses that looked after Kieran throughout the time that he was in the unit were Brilliant they did everything for my little lad Kieran and they were so caring and Compassionate and it made our time on the unit a lot easier, they helped me and my partner Janet a lot it meant a lot too us that they helped us through such a difficult time after we had just lost Kieran’s twin Brother Joel, we was so upset we just didn't no what to do but with there wonderful help and support it helped me Personally through the Darkest hours of my life they helped me see that I had to be strong for my partner Janet and my little lad Kieran and it breaks my heart to say it that Kieran has gone to play with all the other little Angels but Now I have to be strong for Janet and my eldest son Leon who is 18 months old he smiles for Kieran & Joel swell now and every time I see Leon smile it will remind me off my two special sons Kieran & Joel but I know they will be smiling down on there Mummy & Daddy.
The Doctors at the Special care baby unit have been Fantastic as well they was always there when we needed them or when we needed to ask questions or if we needed someone to talk too I can't praise the doctors highly enough that looked after Kieran they was first class, Me and Janet will always be grateful for the care and Attention that they gave to my son they did everything they could to look after my boy and tried there best to save his life and if anyone in life Deserves a really good Living then it's the Doctors and the Nurses at the unit Me and Janet will be Looking to support this Great charity for the Rest of our lives in the Name of our Beloved son Kieran who we love with all our heart and will miss dearly for the Rest of our lives.
We can't think of more deserving people to help raise money for than all the Nurses & doctors at the Jessops special care baby unit me and my partner Janet felt very privileged to know such wonderful people even if it was for only nearly 4 weeks me and Janet want to help raise money in memory of our little lad Kieran and to give something back in Appreciation for everything that they did for Kieran.
I would just like to say our little boys Kieran & Joel are an Inspiration to us both and we are Immensely proud of them both they give us the courage and spirit to fight on and do positive things in our lives for not just ourselves but for other people as well.
Our lives have been turned upside down this past month and a lot of things have been put into perspective especially the way we look at life before we seemed to take life for granted, but I think we are all guilty of that at some point in our lives aren't we, as long as you have your health and your family and friends around you nothing else matters in my eyes.
These next pieces of writing are from our Tribute Page that we set up in Loving Memory of our Little Angels we could think of no better Tribute to My little than that we hope they like it we love our little stars Joel & Kieran who are in Heaven god bless there little souls.

David and Tina (Kieran & Joel’s family) from Birmingham relation: uncle and aunty
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 Kieran 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#
