Louise, Our Angel :)

This was our Angel, Louise who was born "sleeping" on the 19th February 2010

I can not start to describe how empty both off us feel, it constantly feels as though something is missing or the feeling you get when you are lost in a strange place. The same as when you leave your home and you know you have forgotten something, magnify that by ,000's of times and that is our continual feeling.

Transpose that with a feeling of attending the birth of your daughter, seeing her, perfect as she enters this cruel world, get to hold her, love her, cuddle her - then have to hand her back, sounds heartbreaking and it was, but also a very very special, precious moment that will stay vividly with us for ever.

We have had so many lovely messages of support and love from all over the world from family, friends and people that have such a spirit of humanity and to you all THANK YOU it means so much.

At some point I will write my own ode to my daughter, but can't quite do it at this time, so have elected to reproduce a lovely, poignant poem sent to us by Karen @Karen230683

"In a baby castle, just beyond our eyes, 
Our baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are we, to wish that you had known this world of strife?
Now, play on, our Baby you have eternal life.
At night, when all is silent and sleep forsakes our eyes
We’ll hear your tiny footsteps come running to our side.
Your little hands caress us, so tenderly and sweet
We’ll breathe a prayer and close our eyes
And embrace you in our sleep.
Feelings we will treasure,
Sometimes they’ll make us sad,
Because, our little Baby
We are still your Mum and Dad"
