Our darling daughter Zara was born at 5:53am on a bright and beautiful Saturday morning on the 1st
July 2006. She lived for 37 minutes.
Our only child, she was a miracle of conception and a gift from God, and I miss her very much.
She was born prematurely, after induction, at 25 weeks due to my developing Pancreatitis and Liver
abnormalities. She weighed 1lb 7oz and was 28 cms tall.
I had an extremely hard pregnancy. I have endometriosis and had a laparoscopy on the 1st February
2006, to clear my tubes in readiness for IVF. I developed a post-op infection and was admitted back
into hospital for observation, where I found out I was pregnant and shouldn`t have had the
laparoscopy. How she survived it is a miracle.
I had a pretty normal pregnancy up to my 17th week, when my waters broke for the 1st time. I was
told that she was unlikely to go any further than a week, but she held on, stubborn just like her
mum. I was in and out of hospital for the next 5 weeks with bleeds and at my 22nd week my waters
broke for the last time. I was admitted to hospital again and told that in all likelyhood I would
go into labour that night. I didn`t.
She had proved them wrong again.
I went home still in shock with the news that none of the OB doctors had ever had a pregnancy last
so long without waters, nearly 2 full months, full of hope that maybe just maybe she would make it,
but our joy was short lived. I developed Pancreatitis at 25 weeks due to the post op infection not
being treated correctly and had to be induced.
My labour was only 5 + 1/2 hours long and she was finally born, double breech, at 5:53am on the 1st
July 2006. We refused resus knowing that she had no chance of survival and I wanted her to die
without pain. She lived for 37 minutes.
She looked so beautiful and at peace and so much like her daddy. She will always be our beautiful
daughter, a true daddies girl and so badly missed by all her family.
We will always be filled with pride in knowing how hard she fought to be here with us and she will
always be our precious angel.
We would like to thank all our friends and family who have helped us through this devastating time
especially our mums, Thanks Mums we love you XX. Seni cok seviyorum anne XX
The greatest thanks to all the Midwifery/OB and Paeds resus staff of Perth Royal Infirmary &
Ninewells Hospital Dundee, and especially Dr Adam Gordon without whom we would never have had the
chance to have been graced with Zara at all.
Thanks also to the Rev Jim Stewart of Letham St Marks Church Perth, for the very beautiful service
he gave for Zara, and for the hospital visit which he gave me (Thanks Jim).
I give you this one thought to keep,
I am with you still I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am diamond glints upon the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush.
Of Quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone,
I am with you still in each new dawn.
O Allah! Grant protection to our living and to our dead and to those of us who are present and those
who are absent, and to our young and to our old folk and to our males and to our females.
O Allah! make her a cause of recompense for us and make her a treasure for us on the day of
Resurrection and an intercessor and the one whose intercession is accepted.
Angels Walk With Us
Angels walk with us
Softly, slowly,
Always caring,
Always there.
They follow behind, next to, or
Guide us through life.
Softening the blows we are dealt .
Magnifying the sunshine, the rainbows.
Angels sit with us,
Holding our hands,
Touching our hearts,
Hearing our pleas.
Angels weep with us,
Collecting our tears,
Turning them into stars for us to
Admire.
For us to wish upon for brighter days.
Angels walk with us,
Holding our hearts in their hands,
Soothing our oceans of emotions,
Calming the waves of despair.
Angels watch over us,
Holding us as we sleep,
As we dream,
Never leaving our side, until they guide us
Home.
thought u might like this poem, beneath ur wings x
Beneath your strong wings
You've taught me to fly.
Holding my hand
So high in the sky.
Your smile is so warm
As I look up at you.
You're guiding my path
With your heavenly hue.
Beneath your strong wings
You've given me strength
To believe in myself
And soar to new lengths.
Your faith in me shows
What a true friend you are.
Helping me reach
For that shining new star.
Beneath your strong wings
You protect me from harm.
You cradle my fears.
Held safe in your arms.
You've opened your heart
To share your sweet love
While your sheltering wings
Carried us high up above.
Beneath your strong wings
I will always be there.
To love you and hug you
And show you I care.
You are the most dearest of all.
our angel, In your wings,
we will never fall.
letter from heaven x
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But now at last you’re free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
Sweet dreams precious angel.
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.

For Zara xx
little one tip toe softly from cloud to cloud
you make us all so very proud
you are a princess of the sky
lighting up the star laterns very high
Heaven only calls those special girls and boys
to paint the rainbows and make cloud toys
the shapes they form, where made by you
and all the angels called early too

thankyou for lighting a candle on my son Ian's memorial page...take care am thinking about you
To lose someone you love is hard to bear
To lose your child it is beyond compare
Whether the child is a daughter or son
Each one of them is a precious one
Your children can never be replaced
Every one of them has their own special place
Your heart is heavy it feels like lead
You don’t want to believe your child is dead
You don’t think the pain will ever go away
No matter what other people may say
No one knows just what to say to you
You need their help to see you through
Life it seems so unfair
You wish your child could still be there
Your memories fill your heart and head
You remember all the things they said
Life is for living and you must go on
You pretend each day they have not gone
Until you meet them once again
You will learn to live through the pain
