My beautiful baby girl was born sleeping on the 11th July 2009 she was born 16 weeks early and
weighed 1 pound 3 ounces and 3 quarters. I had a low lying placenta and bled throughout a lot of the
pregnancy but on everything scan my perfect girl was always kicking about and seemed so happy. Then
on the 9th july 2009 i went into hospital because i was bleeding but has i had bled a lot i didnt
see it has that much of a problem because in my eyes faith was my little fighter and could get
through anything. But when the doctor examined me he asked me if i had been losing water which i had
a little bit but then again i thought that was nothing to worry about it was only when they done the
scan they told me there was very little water around the baby and it wasnt looking good, they said
she only had 2 little pockets of water around her. Then about half an hour later i started getting
these pains and bleeding very very heavy and my contractions started but after a few hours the
contractions stopped and i still thought then that faith was guna hang on 4 a few more weeks and be
born ok and prove them wrong. After the pains stopped the doctors stopped listening in to faiths
heartbeat but even tho they wasnt listening i could still feel her kicking and thought that was her
way of giving me a sign that everything was ok. Then on friday the 10th july everything seemed to
calm down i was still bleeding but there was no pains and faith was kicking like mad so on friday
night i went to sleep with a little bit of hope. But sadly on the 11th july at 5.30am i woke up and
the umbilical cord had come out and they had 2 bring my labour on with a drip but it took until 2pm
in the afternoon for the contractions to start, then when the pains started they was the worst pains
i had ever felt worse than with my first born it was so traumatic. Then after a 9 hour labour baby
faith was born sleeping at 11.09pm i was 23 weeks pregnant and 6 days. Faith weighed 1 pound 3
ounces and 3 quarters and was 30cm long. She was perfect in every way and so beautiful i just
couldnt believe that she would never wake up. I kept baby faith next to me for 2 days in the
hospital it just felt so natural to have her near me, there was no way i would let the hospital take
her to a morgue. Then on the 13th july i brought my baby girl home from the hospital to wait for the
undertakers to come. And when that time came it broke my heart to know they was taking her away from
me i just couldnt believe it. Each time i seen my baby in the chapel she just looked so peacefull
and when i spoke to her i know she heard every word i said to her i kept thinking any minute now she
will wake up and cry. But i never got to hear my baby cry i never got to feed her or change her
nappy, it was devastating. One day we will meet again in a better place than this and i promise you
my darling baby faith that i will never let you go again. Goodnight my perfect sleeping beauty and
watch over us always because one day we will be together again. We love you now until the end of
time love always mummy, daddy and big sister India

I stood beside your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.

I touched you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much you
love and long to hold me.

I was with you at the store today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.

I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said "it's me."

You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be
so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then
smiled, I think you knew,
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.

The day is over, I smile and watch
you yawning and say
"goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and
we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to
show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.

To my family.

To my dearest family, some things I would like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this letter from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and he said, " I welcome you, It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I need you here badly, your part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, If I were to tell you, you would not understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over. I am closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb, But together we can do it by taking one step at a time. It was always my philosophy and I would like it for you too, That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, Then you can say to God at night, " My day was not in vain." And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free. Remember you're not going you're coming here to me.
