Maisie Elizabeth Kerry
Died 1st September 2007
5 days old
Selby
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
With much love
Maisie was so lucky to have you as her parents. You, Elizabeth are one of the most special people I have ever met. You are warm, kind and funny and I am so sure that your future will be filled with beautiful and very lucky children.
From a very lucky Mummy to a future Mummy, I\'m sure.
I looked for another, but this poem is still says it all.

Love to you both - the wonderful and caring people that you are xxx
Keep going
Maisie will never be forgotten, and the effect of her on your lives and to a lesser extent on others must not be under estimated. She was one strong little fighter who provoked love, determination, reflection, and admiration from us all, but most especially from Elizabeth and Andrew. This is not the end of the Kerry family story, Maisie is one beautiful chapter that links together with all the rest. God bless you both in your walk forward, not away from Maisie but with her.
Love Andy x

I've just noticed the date that Maisie passed, and it was on that day in that year that our precious little boy Paul Leon-Louis Roper passed. Maybe they went to heaven together! It would be nice to know that they had company of each other. They are probably still best friends. What a lovely thought!!!
Bless you and your family. Love from Kathleen and family xxxx
just for you
There is a little corner
Where I visit everyday
No-one knows I go there
Or how long that I stay
In this little corner
I speak to you alone
I imagine what it would be like
To have you back at home
In this little corner
I hold you really tight
I cuddle, kiss and squeeze you
What a pretty sight
In this little corner
I tuck you up to sleep
Another cuddle another weep
Where is this little corner
Where we never are apart
It's where I always have you with me
It's the corner of my heart________________________ @@@
