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

An angel never dies
Don't let them say I wasn't born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I've loved you from the start.
Although my body you can't hold,
It doesn't mean I'm gone,
This world was worthy not of me,
God chose that I move on.
I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face.
You have my word, I'll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.
You'll hear that it was 'meant to be
God doesn't make mistakes,'
But that won't soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.
I'm watching over all you do,
Another child you'll bear,
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there
There will come a time, I promise you
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips,
And you'll understand.
Although I've never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn't mean I never 'was'
An angel never dies.
I love you my precious wee princess xxxx

Words are not enough
Words are not enough to describe what you have been through and are still going through. I think you are the bravest people I have ever met and can't imagine what you are going through every waking minute of each and every day. If there is ever anything I can do for you then I am only a call away.
I'm sorry I was away at work when Erin passed as I should have been there for you. Please dont blame yourself as I'm sure Erin is in a better place and however much we dont like it god has his reasons for things like this happening.
Love you all very much. Be strong & brave my bestest friends xxx
A Time for Tomorrow
You can shed tears that she has gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close you eyes and pray that she'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she's left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she has gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she'd want -
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Wishing you and your family lots of love
Claire,Stuart, Rachel and Daniel xx
I miss you my baby girl xxxx
I close my eyes
and there i see
my baby girl
she says to me
i know you are sad
i know you cry
you dont understand
why i had to die
you feel such guilt
you feel such pain
but please just listen
you will hold me again
I love you always
i hug you at night
in my heart
i hold you tight
i know you smile
for the world to see
when you're heart is breaking
because you lost me
i dance on the clouds
i twinkle the stars
but from you mummy&daddy
i'm never far
i know im loved
please know so are you
im a lucky angel
to have parents like you
i know you think
of what could have been
and me growing up
you had already forseen
im always around
although you dont see
i know you are lost
because you miss me
but just close your eyes
and then you will know
im here forever
and i love you so
My heart belongs to you Erin, love you so much xxxx
