Our Wee Princess, Erin Jane Richardson, was born sleeping 10th February 2007.
My pregnancy went quite good, apart from very bad morning sickness that lasted until 18 weeks
pregnant. I loved being pregnant, feeling Erin move around inside, I got used to her kicking
patterns and smiled each time I felt her move.
My husband works at sea, he left to go to sea when I was 6 weeks pregnant, and came home when I was
29 weeks pregnant so there was a bit of a difference in me! We went for a private scan so he could
see our wee baby move about, and we were delighted to find out I was carrying a beautiful baby girl.
We had some photos taken and even a DVD of her, little did we know this would be the only time we
would see our baby alive.
It was 8th February during a routine checkup that our world turned upside down. Hearing the words
"I have some awful news, your baby has no heart beat" will never leave me. I'd felt
her move the previous day and night. I was 36 and a half weeks pregnant.
My husband and I went home that night to try and take the news in. On Friday morning we returned to
hospital to be induced, and at 03:22hrs Saturday 10th February our little girl entered the world
asleep.
It's not how I'd imagined for the previous 8 months giving birth. We just wanted to hear
her cry, see her little eyes open, but it was not to be. She was so perfect and beautiful. She
weighed 4 pounds and 8.5 ounces, and had long legs and elegant fingers (like her mummy) and cute
chipmunk cheeks (like her daddy!). I have never known love and hurt like it.
We dressed our beautiful angel and held her. We took her home for the night and put her in her
moses basket. All her wee outfits, that I'd already washed and ironed, will never be used,
everything we prepared for our baby coming home reminds us now of our loss.
We have so much love to give her, she will live in our hearts forever.

I'll Be There
Daddy please don't look so sad, Mummy please don't cry.
Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question god, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you, and then he changed his mind.

You see I am a special child, and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave him, I'm a product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, and watch the sky at night.
Just find the brightest gleaming star, thats my halo shining light.

You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane.
That's me in all the summer showers, dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows.
That's me, I'll be there, planting kisses on your nose.

When you see a child thats playing and your heart feels a tug.
That's me, I'll be there giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy please don't look so sad, and Mummy please don't cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus, and he sings me lullabies.

We love you our darling Erin, sleep with the angels
Mummy and Daddy

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit On Sunday Night As Usual

Everyone Have A Good Weekend



To My Dearest Family, Some Things I'd Like To Say.
But first of all, to let you know,
That I arrived okay.
I'm writing this 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.
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 day's 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,
And 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 wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm 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 day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
And I'd 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....
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 him 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.

The moment that you died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.

For those who still have their LOVED ONES,
Treat them with tender care,
You will never know the emptiness,
As when you turn and they’re not there.

thinking of you

You would know the secret of death.
But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?
The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day
cannot unveil the mystery of light.
If you would indeed behold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one.
In the depth of your hopes and desires
lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
And like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow
your heart dreams of spring.
Trust the dreams,
for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd
when he stands before the king whose hand
is to be laid upon him in honour.
Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling,
that he shall wear the mark of the king?
Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind
and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing,
but to free the breath from its restless tides,
that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence
shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top,
then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs,
then shall you truly dance.

Thinking of you xXx

Little Snowdrop

The world may never notice if a Snowdrop doesn 't bloom,

Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon,

But every life that ever forms or even comes to be,

Touches the world in some small way for all eternity.



The little one we longed for was swiftly here and gone,

But the love that was then planted is a light that still shines on,

And though our arms are empty our hearts know what to do,

Every beating of our hearts says that we love you

My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow
The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear
For I am spending Christmas beside you all this year

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing

I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart
So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear
And be glad I'm spending Christmas beside you all this year

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above
I send you each a memory of my undying love
After all 'LOVE' is the gift, more precious than pure gold
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told

Please love and keep each other, as I know you all will do
For I can't count the blessings or love I have for you

So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear
Remember, I'm spending Christmas beside you all this year

We love you our wee princess, always and forever, mummy and daddy xxxx
