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

Angels are all around us and watch us from above,
Angels watch us and they guide us, they wrap us in their love,
Their loving arms surround us but their faces we can not see,
Their whispers we can not hear as they talk to you and me
We know they are watching us each and every day,
If only we could hear all the loving words they say,
They talk to us while we are sleeping and appear to us in our dreams,
They know when we are crying and they hear our silent screams
Our Angels are always there for us to wipe away our tears,
They help us to get by each day and try to wash away our fears
Our Angel children don’t want us to be sad,
Because they will always love us their,
Earthly Mum & Dad
An other little angel to watch over her Mummy & Daddy
So Sorry to hear of your sad loss. Your little girl is in safe arms and looking down on you both. May God Bless you.

sleep tight little one, a letter from heaven
watch over ur loved ones and help them keep strong, god bless x
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.
I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can 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 over.
I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are 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 is 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.
from one grieving mum to another
I CARRIED YOU.
So many months I carried you and I couldnt wait to see.
What a wonderful little person you would turn out to be.
I had my dream of how it would be just to watch you grow but now those dreams are faded because I shall never know.
For God in his great wisdom looked form his throne above and saw how beautiful you were, so he carried you away with love.
Now the rocking chair sits silent and the lullabies wont be voiced. But in Heaven there's celebration as all of the Angels rejoice.
My tears they wont be quiet, they flow like the rivers roars. And I know my life is forever changed to be the same no more.
I must be a special Mother because I have been set apart
Some Mothers carry their children in their arms, But I carry you in my Heart.
