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

So sorry for your loss.XXX
God makes little children
He makes them every day
And though He loves them dearly
He gives them all away.
He gives each to an angel
And says take baby down
To such and such a mother
In such and such a town.
Or such and such a cottage
In such and such a place.
He gives the angel with it
A big soul full of grace.
God does so love those children
It's all that He can do
To let the Angel take them
But he loves the mother's too.
And so he says I'll lend you
This little one of mine
The angel folds it's love
About the special gift divine.
The angel watches over
The child both day and night
So glad to see that lovely soul
All shining in God's light
God makes so many children
And every now and then
He seems to want one specially
We don't know why or when
He whispers to its Angel
Bring the child back to me
The angel sees a lovely sight
That someday we may see
It sees the souls of mothers
And fathers in God's light
Offering him tiny children
Whose souls are shining bright
God does so love those children
Whos souls are never dim
And how he loves those parents
Who give them back to him.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

To Mommy From Heaven
This was sent to me and id like to share it with you in hopes to bring you a little comfort. I know its easier said than done, id like to try. Thinking of you in this sad timexx
Mommy, don't cry, 'cause God is holding my hand
and telling me everything is OK.
Mommy, God said that I will never want for anything
and I will still feel your love all the way up here.
Mommy, you should see me,
I am running and playing with God's other children.
Mommy, guess who helps watch over us while we play?
They are God's Helping Angels!
Mommy, I'm not afraid, my grandpa and grandma are here.
They came to me when it was dark and held my hands;
then we went to God's bright light,
where Angels were singing.
Mommy, God said, If you feel sad, to remember this;
I'll be the gentle breeze that brushes your face,
the sun is my smile and the rain is me washing away your pain.
Mommy, I have to go now.
I send you all my love on the wings of an Angel.
Love from your girl, to you Mommy.
