In October 2000 your Daddy and I were thrilled to bits when we found out we would be having a new addition to our family in the summer of 2001, we were elated and so was your Brother Shane. I had, had a rough time with being diagnosed with an illness 3 years previous and although far from cured I was at the best state I could have expected to be to carry a baby, I was not on any medication and I had my Colitis pretty much under control, or so I thought!
Things just went from bad to worse, my Colitis reared its ugly head again to quite a severe degree, all I can remember was the doctors and midwives who would visit me at home as I was too unwell to even get out of bed, I had no choice but to go back on lots of medication which I really did not want to as I knew all of this could be harmful to you. Eventually in the February I was admitted to hospital and they confirmed that I had a kidney infection and that I would need to stay on the pre natal ward to be monitered, i didnt want to but all i kept thinking was I wanted the best for you.I remember the day you were born like it was just yesterday and the tragic chain of events, the midwives had not long checked your heartbeat and thankfully it was still strong (I was nearly 22 weeks by this point)and Daddy had come into visit me for a shortwhile as he was working long shifts so the staff allowed him in about 8.30am, he left just after 9am and all was well, and then everything happened so quickly I had pain which I had been experiencing for awhile but it was put down to the infection I had, all of a sudden I felt a gush and I knew although hoping I was wrong that my waters had just broke, the midwives came and it was hectic I kept remembering them saying they needed to get me to theatre but there was no time, and then, my sweet little angel you arrived into the world, I so so hoped you would survive but you were born too soon. Daddy was called back and it was horrible I felt in a trance to be told you were a beautiful baby girl, all that we had ever wanted but taken from us no sooner than you arriving - it just was not fair only a short while before I heard your heartbeat!!I was unconsolable and so was everyone close to you, withso many unanswered questions, why? I stayed in the hospital until the following day and that was so hard coming out of hospital leaving you behind I yearned for you, the bond I had was so strong, a beautiful little girl taken so quickly.

God needed an angel in heaven

When Jesus lived upon the earth so many years ago,
He called the children close to him because he loved them so.....
And with that tenderness of old, that same sweet, gentle way,
He holds your little loved one close within his arms today.....
And you’ll find comfort in your faith that in his home above
The God of little children gives your little one his love....
So think of you little darling lighthearted and happy and free
Playing in God’s promised land where there is joy eternally.

Precious Child by Karen Taylor Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

thinking of you tomorrow on mothers day xxx

Dandelions from Heaven
Mothers day is coming And I wanted to send you a sign
something you can tell others; "Is from an angel of mine
So I searched the heavens high and low for that perfect thing....
And low and behold I found it.... And a smile I hope it will bring.

So when you look to the heavens and see the yellow stars in the sky
Just think of me .... your angel... in the heavens way up high
And just imagine those stars; are dandelions up above.
Yes! Dandelions are also in heaven; which you know how much I love.

So on this mothers day and you awake and feel blue....
You will notice those yellow stars... are no longer in view.
So look to the meadows and the dandelions you see...
Are the ones I've tossed down this mothers day from me.

And when you find a dandelion that has turned from yellow to white;
Youre supposed to make a wish and then blow with all your might.
For you will be blowing kisses to me in heaven above....
And I will be catching them and blowing them back sent with all my love.

Please know that l am with you.... on this mothers day....
And also in the days ahead.... God and I will never stray.
We will be with you in the morning ....when you awake and see the sun....
We will be with you when you say your prayers when the day is done.

For God and I will never be very far from your side....
For I can now be everywhere.... and God will be your guide.
So.... remember when you see dandelions it is your guarantee
That I am always close to you.... for dandelions are free to roam ....now just like me.

I will always be with you mummy....
Happy Mothers Day....
Love your angel in heaven.

Rebecca Anne.

My precious little grandaughter. The day you were born will be forever imprinted on my mind. Never was a baby girl more wanted than you and instead of tears of joy we shed tears of deep sadness. I watched my baby grieving for her baby(you) and i was heartbroken to see her pain at your sad loss.
I remember holding the tiny little basket you were laid in and looking down on you and although i knew it was pointless i was willing you to breathe. You were so perfect. I have always believed in God but at that time i felt he had wronged us as a family. Why had he let you die? However there is a saying 'that when he takes the young he has a better purpose for them', that is how i cope with losing you. I also kiss your photograph often and give you my love.
i will always believe it was more difficult for your mammy because you were part of her body,never the less i will never forget the grief stricken look on your daddy's face or the tears your big brother Shane cried when he learnt of your passing.
Your grandad and i often talk about you and until the day we join you, you will always remain a main focus for us and i feel sure you help us through our daily lives.
It goes without saying that we love and adore Shane, Beckyleigh and Aaron and part of you is in each one of them, but we also love and adore you and see you as our guardian angel.
We have lost many people that we loved, therefore we know you are well looked after and cherished.
Peace be with you my angel.
All my heartfelt love and a big kiss from Grandad Alan. Nanna Anne Xxx

Brother here. I was young when you were born and i was so upset to see you had gone to heaven. I hugged mummy and daddy and cried. I remember it well. We all miss you dearly and being older now, i will never understand how mummy got through the pain of being parted from you. Unimaginable. Much love Rebecca.

Much love Mam, Dad, and the rest of the family...

God bless you little Rebecca, your mission in this world was just to bring love, no more, and when you had brought it you went back to a better place. God bless your mummy and daddy, and everyone who's been affected by stillbirth, by miscarriage, and by infants passing.
