Sister to Abigail
Rare genetic disorder CPT 2 Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorder
Maisie was our first baby together. She was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Often I would
gaze at her in disbelief that she belonged to me! There isn't a day goes by that I don't
think about her or miss her terribly.
The Cord (poem)
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is 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 test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're 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
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!
Walking in my Shoes
Poem
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so much that I don't think I can take another step.
Yet I continue to wear them.
People treat me differently wearing these shoes.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
I now realise that I am not the only one that wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women ache daily as they try to walk in them.
Some have learned with time how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they realise how much they really
hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
Thank you to everyone for you beautiful words for our precious daughter, Maisie. x
I\'m Sorry
I am sorry for your loss I really am. Your little Maisie is with all the other little ones now. I wish it were different for you all I really do.
Take care of yourself.
This is so beautiful , I cant imagine how terribly painful it must have been. My heart goes out to Liz and her partner and i wish them all of the love i could give.xxxx
I just want to say that little Maisie is totally gorgeous. My little baby girl was in an incubator too and had to have the ultraviolet lights on her, she too wore the silly patches over her eyes and a funny hat. We lost her 3 weeks and 3 days after she was born. Im so sorry that your a mummy of an angel too, its a sad club to be in.
I hope Sophie and Maisie have found each other in gods nursery and are up to lots of mischief and fun.
Sending you and your family lots of love and hugs

Little angel
I was given an angel to cherish and love
to tiny, so perfect from above
when i looked at her face it was calmness i found
and that peace seemed to spread to all she was around
her love touched my heart like fine threads of spun gold
and i thanked god for giving this angel to hold
but i did not know then that time was my foe
and too soon with a whisper my angel would go
my heart almost breaking, a touch soft as lace
seemed to wipe at the hurt as it coursed down my face
i still have my angel to cherish and love
those gold threads now shimmer from heaven above
and though i carn`t see her or hold her tight
i won`t say goodbye, little angel
goodnight xxxx

Elizabeth, I feel so lucky to have met you at our precious baby's graves. You showed me light at the end of a very dark tunnel and gave me the strength so carry on.
I know Aidan and Maisie play together every day, and I know that 1 day our future children will play together whilst we watch with pride and love in our hearts.
Love to you all, Elizabeth,Andrew, Miasie and Abi.xxx
My Mum, she tells a lot of lies,
She never did before.
But from now until she dies,
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mum how she is
And because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mum how she is,
She'll say 'I'm alright.'
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mum how she is,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see,
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mum how she is,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping.'
For God's sake Mum, just tell the truth,
Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how she is,
She'll lie and say she's fine.
I am Here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told.
