Isabelle Grace was my little angel, she was a miracle and little fighter. During her short time in
the world, she developed her own special little personality. She was also very well travelled! She
was born in Surrey and as i am not from there, we had to wait there for 5 days before getting moved
to Bradford Hospital, and eventually going to Leeds Hospital, then Martin House Hospice who are
amazing, and we didnt know what we would have done without them. All the staff at every neonatal
unit as thats where Isabelle was for most of them time, were amazing and have Inspried me. When
Isabelle was born, i had been put to sleep so i didnt get to see her until the next day and the
moment I saw her I fell in love with her, she was so gorgeous and she was so tiny too,and when we
had our daily cuddles I never wanted to let her go, she was just amazing.She was in the unit
upstairs and I was on a different wards. They knew the next day something was wrong, but all they
did tests but when we got to Bradford Hospital the results came back and we found out she had
Edwards Syndrome, which meant that Isabelle had an extra chromosome number 18. They said that she
probably wouldnt live to after a year old, and the statistics showed that babies that have this
normally dont live past the first month, some up to 3 months and some arent born at all, so we
thought she was a miracle to be here and just make her time happy and enjoy everyday she was here.
We couldnt believe it, that she would be taken away as quickly as she came.We eventually went to
Martin House Hospice who are great and were great. Everyone loved Isabelle, they were all fighting
over cuddles with her she was a popular little lady! And she loved her Hats, she had a very good
collection of them and they knew her has the Hat girl! She also had her first bath while at Martin
House, which she cried all the way through and didnt seem to like it but she slept for the whole day
even through feeding time! which only meant one thing, she would be awake at night!Night owl just
like me.
When we finally got Isabelle home, she was very cheeky and usually woke up while everyone else
wanted to go to bed! But she was worth every minute of it, we took her for a walk in a pram, just
around the block, for about ten minutes she seemed to enjoy it as it always sent her to sleep. We
also bought her like a yellow sponge type thing that you were meant to put in a bath, but we used it
to change her on, as it was comfy for her and she always used to lay and open her big gorgeous eyes
and look around and as soon as we changed her nappy, about 20 seconds later we had to do it
again!She called herself a lady !! We tried to give her anotther bath at home, but she really didnt
like it, she let out a scream and we didnt give her one in the end, we used to just wash her with
cotton wool and water. At home on the night on 19th November she decided she just couldnt fight
anymore and went to sleep in my arms, and she had been fed and there was me, my mum and dad and my
brother all around. She was such a little angel, she meant the world, and she was loved by so many
people, even ones that hadnt had a chance to meet her and she will always be in everyones hearts.

When you feel you miss me most,
As time goes drifting by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the Father sent his Angels,
To gently guide me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Keep my love deep within your Heart,
And with the warmth of each memory,
We will never be apart.

A Birthday In Heaven - by Kris Smith

I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.

You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My Birthday (way up here).
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.

God planned a special day for me,
He told me with a wink.
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think).

Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.

There is a Birthday carousel,
Jewelled horses ride the wind,
With music playing, oh so sweet…
The magic never ends.

I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing.
We ride our bikes and play the fool
And sleep in Angel’s wings.

But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.

With love from your little Angel xxx

♥ God needed a special angel,
which you were chosen to be,
he put your tiny wings on
and set your spirit free ♥

Angel Babies - by Unknown Author

Over the rainbow, way up high,
Past fluffy white clouds the Angel babies fly.
With the sun's golden rays shining bright overhead,
Tumble and bumble they bounce out of bed.
Good morning, sun! The day has begun!
With delicate wings and sweet little faces,
They dance and they play and they race flying races.
Then, swooping and looping down through a cloud,
Or sliding and riding and singing out loud,
Wiggle and giggle, some fast and some slow,
The Angel babies fly to the earth down below.
Not everyone knows this, but truly it's true --
Little Angel babies have big jobs to do!
In gardens and meadows, they coax forth the flowers
With sunlight and love and gentle rain showers.
In fields and forests they spread soft white wings,
Sharing kindness and joy with all living things.
Small animal, babies in quiet green places
Rejoice in warm smiles from sweet Angel faces.
In backyards and baskets, on fireside rugs,
Small creatures are cuddles in soft Angel hugs.
Soon evening is bright with red-orange light,
And day slowly fades to make way for the night.
As good little children curl up in their beds,
The Angels bring sweet dreams to young sleepyheads.
Then the sound of a horn only Angels can hear
Calls out to them all -- here and there, far and near.
It beckons them back from wherever they roam,
Work is done for the day! Now it's time to go home.
Blinking and winking, bright stars in the sky
Twinkle and shine as the Angels fly by -- so softly singing a sweet Lullaby.
Yawning and stretching, they climb in their beds.
Cloud blankets warm bodies, cloud pillows rest heads.
Snuggled in tight with the moon shining bright
Sleep tight, sweet dreams, good night.

Good night Isabelle, Angel baby, Sleep Tight xxx

thinking of you tomorrow on mothers day xxx

Dandelions from Heaven
Mothers day is coming And I wanted to send you a sign
something you can tell others; "Is from an angel of mine
So I searched the heavens high and low for that perfect thing....
And low and behold I found it.... And a smile I hope it will bring.

So when you look to the heavens and see the yellow stars in the sky
Just think of me .... your angel... in the heavens way up high
And just imagine those stars; are dandelions up above.
Yes! Dandelions are also in heaven; which you know how much I love.

So on this mothers day and you awake and feel blue....
You will notice those yellow stars... are no longer in view.
So look to the meadows and the dandelions you see...
Are the ones I've tossed down this mothers day from me.

And when you find a dandelion that has turned from yellow to white;
Youre supposed to make a wish and then blow with all your might.
For you will be blowing kisses to me in heaven above....
And I will be catching them and blowing them back sent with all my love.

Please know that l am with you.... on this mothers day....
And also in the days ahead.... God and I will never stray.
We will be with you in the morning ....when you awake and see the sun....
We will be with you when you say your prayers when the day is done.

For God and I will never be very far from your side....
For I can now be everywhere.... and God will be your guide.
So.... remember when you see dandelions it is your guarantee
That I am always close to you.... for dandelions are free to roam ....now just like me.

I will always be with you mummy....
Happy Mothers Day....
Love your angel in heaven.

A SPECIAL LITTLE SPIRIT
image41.jpg (8282 bytes)

"You're a Special Little Spirit," the all great Master said,

As he gently caressed the curly dark hair of the Little Spirit's head.

"You need to go to Earth to spend some time, you know,

A place I send most Spirits to be tested, to learn and grow."

The Little Spirit, in sadness, slowly bowed his head,

And from his eye a tear did steal and down his cheek it shed.

"Don't you fret now little one, I won't let you stay too long,

I'll bring you back to help me here, You'll hardly know that you've been gone.

You're my choicest Little Spirit, you're the apple of my eye."

And He wiped the tear and gently kissed His Little Spirit good-bye.

"I'm back," the Little Spirit whispered, as he climbed onto his Master's knee,

And the Master said, "I told you, you would not be long away from me."

And then, the Lord, He noticed still another tear welled in his eye.

"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit, whatever should make you cry?"

"I'm glad I'm back," the Spirit said, "but Master you must surely know,

When your Angel came to get me, I didn't want to go.

I know you said you needed me and that I'd be gone the shortest while,

But Lord, couldn't I have had a little longer earthly trial?"

The Master let the Little Spirit slip down from off His knee,

He firmly took the little hand and said, "Come walk with me."

The Little Spirit and his Lord walked slowly hand in hand,

As the Master explained his special part in the great and marvelous plan.

"Now Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand that you needed me home.

But I left in such a hurry, I left everyone hurting and so alone.

I didn't let my earthly parents know how much I loved them so.

I was much too small to tell them, Lord, how will they ever know?

They feel they've been cheated, and in a way, so do I.

Not getting to share any more than we did, how can I ever tell them why?"

"Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy with this message you need to share.

But you need not worry anymore, I'll watch over your loved ones there.

I'll send them loving comfort as a strong and helping hand.

I'll content and give peace to their aching hearts, so they will understand.

The Little Spirit looked up at his Master and said

"Thank you for explaining it to me.

And could you please tell them I'm safe and happy and

That someday they'll be here with me."

"Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod, "I'll tell them all that I can."

Then the others came to see the Little Spirit, as the Lord let go of his hand.

He said, "I'll tell them you're pure, as pure as Heaven's Gold,

That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul to keep Heaven from getting cold."

I didn't have to look into your eyes
to fall in love with you.
I didn't have to hear you cry
To know you loved me too.
I didn't need to hold your hand
To cherish you always
Within my womb, we shared our hearts.
You touched my soul.
You sweetened my spirit.
You gave me memories I'll always hold dear.
Yes my heart aches since you departed so soon.
But a mother's love does not end with death.
For you are my child.
Forever my love is yours.

We are connected, my child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connected us 'till birth,
this cord can't be seen by anyone on earth.
This cord does its work, right from the start,
it bonds us together, attached at the heart.
I know that its there though no one can see,
the invisible cord, from my child to me.
The strength of this cord, it's hard to describe.
it can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord, man could create,
it withstands the tests, can hold any weight.
And though you are gone, not here with me,
the cord is still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised....I am sore,
but this cord is my lifeline, as never before.
I am thankful that God connected this way,
a mother and a child, death can't take it away!

The Lord needed a flower
and that flower was you
so he picked you up from down here
and up and up you flew

He planted you in his garden
he said 'You'll stay here now with me'
and there you'll stay away from harm
the prettiest flower you'll always be
