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

MY BABY
In a baby castle just beyond my eye
My baby plays with Angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who am I to wish her back into this world of strife?
No, play on my baby, you have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear her tiny footsteps come running to my side
Her little hands caress me, so tenderly and sweet
I'll breathe a prayer and close my eyes and embrace her in my sleep
Now I have a treasure that I rate above all other,
I have known true glory - I am still her mother
Love and miss you my darling Erin, till we meet again xxxx
I love you Erin
Hiya darling, I'm missing you so much. It's getting harder day by day not easier, everywhere I go I think you should be with me. My body needs to look after you but you're not here. I'm heartbroken. I sometimes feel selfish wanting you so much, as I know you're not in any pain, and happy playing with all the other wee angels high in heaven. But Erin, WHY oh WHY were you taken away?? ITS NOT FAIR. I LOVE YOU, you are forever beautiful and live in my heart xxxx

We love you our wee princess
Today is your due date, how different it is to what we thought it would be.
I cannot express how much we love and miss you. It's not fair, we have so much love to give you, but you're needed in heaven to join the other wee angels. Although the world would be so much more beautiful with you in it, I'm grateful for the so short time you graced us, you've changed our lives.
You broke our hearts when you left us, I can never see the hurt stopping, but am comforted that we'll meet again.
You are forever loved, mummy and daddy xxxx
Lesley and Paul, words cannot express how we feel at your sad loss, our thoughts are with you both and your families.
Lesley and Paul
We are both so terribly sorry for your loss, Erin-jane is beautiful and always will be.
Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
—Luke 18:16
Be strong for each other, life after loss gets more bearable with time but we never forget.
All our thoughts and love Dean and Jools
God bless
Les & Paul,
This tragic occurance made us both weep, we are parents who have gone through many trials and tribulations with our children, but nothing can come close to your suffering. We feel for you both so, so much...you both need to be strong to get through this! Remember the old saying
