Harri, you were our first planned, very much wanted, very much loved baby, we tried not to get too excited but we just couldn’t help ourselves we had planned our lives with you, two becoming a family. I wanted to keep you secret for a while but your Daddy was just so excited we told our family early on and everyone was so pleased for us.
We went for our 20 week scan on Thursday 14th August; I was nervous but also very excited I couldn’t wait to see you again. The sonographer thought we had wrong dates for you as you were far too small for your dates, but after I explained for the second time that I thought that was unlikely as we had already had two scans at 8 and 12 weeks and that you had grown as you should between the two a worried look passed across her face, I knew at this point that something was really wrong with you but Daddy hadn’t picked up on it so I kept quiet. The sonographer said she would refer us to a consultant and was pleased with herself when she managed to get us an appointment for the Monday, but I just couldn’t wait that long to know if you, my precious baby was ok or not.
We went to see the consultant the next day, the day my world fell apart. You were a little monkey and after several scans you just wouldn’t move into the right position, the consultant was able to see that you had a double cleft lip, cleft pallett, that you were very small, she also thought that your tiny heart or brain may have problems too but she just couldn’t tell. We were told how serious things were but sent home again until Monday. I thought that weekend was the worst of my life how could I possibly have known there was so much worse to come, I spent time researching clefting and although no parent would want that for their child it was correctable and we would have loved you whatever. I spent the rest of the weekend secretly looking at my bump in the mirror, rubbing my tummy, hoping and praying that all was wrong with you was the clefting so that we would get to keep you.
We went back to the hospital on the Monday and again you were a little monkey so I had to lay in various positions, keep walking up and down and going to the loo, eventually you moved into position and our worst fear was confirmed the part linking the right and left hand side of your brain was missing – agenesis of the corpus callosum. The consultant wanted a second opinion so booked for us to go to see a professor at Sheffield who specialised in babies brains for an MRI on Thursday, as Mummy doesn’t even really like being in a lift I went for a trial run in the MRI at Hull just to check I wouldn’t panic too much, it was scary but I could have done anything for you. So we waited again until Thursday, again clinging on to the tiny bit of hope we had left.
The drive to Sheffield seemed to take forever, we had to wait a long time to be seen during which time both Mummy and Daddy cried in the waiting room. Afterwards Professor Paul Griffiths showed us the MRI scans and he confirmed our worst possible fears, Daddy was brave enough to ask Paul what this meant for you and his answer was horrendous you just weren’t meant for this world. Because your condition was so rare we were asked to take part in a research project, it meant longer in the scanner but hopefully it will help babies and parents in the future.
You came into the world in the early hours of Monday 25th August, this was the only day Mummy Daddy and both Grandmas and Granddads got to hold you, kiss you, cuddle you and see how beautiful and perfect you were. I hope you can forgive us for bringing your birthday forward, we just couldn’t bear to think of you in pain or suffering, I struggle with this decision every single day. I can’t believe I won’t get to hold you again, wash you, feed you, how I long to hold you my precious angel.
I hope you liked the songs and poems we picked for your funeral, it was so hard to leave you there Daddy and the reverend had to help Mummy leave as another family were waiting to say goodbye to their loved one, but I just couldn’t seem to leave you. We had you wrapped in your cousins’ blanket, Mummy wanted to keep the blanket you were wrapped up in in hospital and also wanted you to be wrapped up in love. Your cousins were so excited when they heard about you, even though Mummy only had a little bump they kissed it and kept nattering to find out what we were going to call you, so Daddy always joked that we were going to call you ‘Harry off Dock’, as you were so small when you arrived the midwives couldn’t tell if you were a girl so we thought Harri was perfect, I hope you like the name Harriet.
We placed a single yellow rose on your coffin as the midwife had put a yellow rose in your mosses basket in hospital. Every time we have yellow roses in the house they are for you my angel, we bought more of the candles we got in your memory box every time we burn one we burn it for you my angel, although your blanket doesn’t smell freshly washed anymore I will always use the same softener as the fresh washing always reminds me of you, of holding you in my arms.
I miss you every single second of every single day my precious angel, we will always love you our beautiful daughter. I hope you are somewhere safe and warm, somewhere you can see how much we still love you.
All my love always
Mummy

I KEEP THOSE SAFE BOTH IN MY HEART AND MY MIND
FOR THE GREATEST GIFT YOU EVER GAVE ME

I JUST HOPE WITH ALL OF MY HEART THAT YOU HEAR THE WORDS THAT I SAY

1st Birthday
To our precious little angel,
I hope you were watching over us as we trekked up to Peveril Castle to release your birthday balloon, hopefully you had a little giggle at us huffing and puffing up the hill. Im so glad we got up there it was such a beautiful, peaceful spot to release yours and Jasmine's balloons. I so hope you were both watching over us so you both could see the beautiful views too.
We love and miss you so very much, and wish with all our hearts that you were both still here with us. Take really good care of each other my precious little ones,
We will love and miss you forever,
Mummy

Harri, sweetheart ~ thinking of you and your family so much at this sad sad time. Stay close to your lovely mummy and daddy, they miss you so much and look after your precious baby sister Jasmine.
Lots of love, hugs and floaty kisses to you both xXx xXx
Nadine & Paul, I hope you find comfort and strength in each other, thinking of you both too xXx xXx
Look after each other
Hi baby,
Mummy and daddy are very sad once again, you are still very much in our thoughts however, you beautiful baby sister has come to join you and our tears are now shared between you both.
We will love you both forever and hope that you can play and grow up together where ever you may be, mummy feels so sad that you were not given the chances your baby sister Jasmine was given but i'm sure you can see you were loved just as much as each other.
I hope you are both able to watch over us on Tuesday when we all say goodbye to your sister and will be thinking of you both where ever you both may be.
Lots of love to my two little angels
Daddy xx
Love you for eternity my angel
Hi baby girl, Im going to take your cards down today, this doesnt mean I'm forgetting you, I will pack them all away neatly in your memory box with all your other things. I have tried to take them down before but just could'nt do it, but its been 8 weeks and I think the time is right.
I will love you for eternity my precious angel.
Mummy
Blessed Be
Too perfect for this world so called back home.
I'll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, God said:
For you to love them while they live and mourn them when they're dead
It may be six or seven years or forty two or three,
But will you, till I call them back, take care of them for me?
I've looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true:
And from the throng that crowd life's lane, I have chosen you.
Now, will you give them all your love, not think your labour vain,
Nor hate me when I take this child, back to Heaven again?
They'll bring their charms to gladden you and should their stay be brief
You'll keep their memory in your heart as a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise this child will stay, since all from Earth return
But there are lessons taught below, I want this child to learn
I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done",
For all the joys this child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run:
We will shelter them with tenderness and love them while we may
And for the happiness we've known, forever greatfull stay.
But should the Angels call for them, much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter pain that comes and try to understand
And when we feel that gentle touch or sudden breeze on a windless day,
Then let us thank God and realise, our loved one's not far away.
Death leaves a heartache
no one can heal
Love leaves a memory
no one can steal.
Love to you & your family
from another angel baby's
Mummy & Daddy XXXX
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.

Take a moment of your day
To maybe sit and in your mind
Think of all the precious babies
Yours, theirs and mine
Those whose short lives were over
Before they had really ever begun
Those precious little bundles
Who have made us all a Mum
Their tiny lives have touched us all
And what I want to say
They have brought us all together
Each and every day
The babies whose beautiful faces
In our minds forever will be
Whose names are etched within our hearts
For anyone, the whole world to see
The babies who touched our lives
Who we think of through our tears
I hope in time we will be able to smile
When we remember them through the years
So this week while we remember
All our babies who had to go
We shall show the world we are united
And how we love and miss them so
