Isabella was stillborn at 23 weeks. She was born at 9.40pm Heartlands hospital on the 6th September
2009, weighing exactly 1lb.
---------------------------------------------------
I woke up in the middle of the night and I knew that you were gone, I clung to the hope that I was
wrong and that I'd just not noticed you moving. I'd only had a scan a few short weeks before and
everything was fine, the midwife had only checked your heartbeat a few days before, how could you be
gone? I did'nt want to worry Daddy so I didnt say anything. I came home from dropping your brother
and sister to school and had a hot drink and a lie down to see if you would wake up. I phoned the
hospital and they said to come down straight away. The nurses tried to reassure me but they couldnt
find your heartbeat, then two scans confirmed what I already knew "I'm sorry but your baby had
passed away". They told me some things and that I had to take a tablet and go to the hospital in two
days, I was just numb and shaking. I carried you for two more days, I have never cried so much my
whole life, hoping there had just been some terrible mistake.
When we got to the hospital the first thing I heard were all the other babies crying which was so so
hard, why did everyone else get to keep their babies and not us when we loved you so much?. This was
the hardest labour I'd ever gone through, it just felt so wrong. Daddy read me a book to try and
keep me calm through the early stages and we listened to our favourite music.
When you were born we wrapped you in the red and white stripy blanket I'd bought a few weeks before.
We held you and looked at your tiny tiny perfect feet and hands. The nurse found a tiny pink hat and
a tiny little knitted dress that would fit and took some hand and footprints. We kept you with us
the whole night, tucked in a tiny wicker basket you looked like you were just silently sleeping
beside us. You never did wake up, and we miss you today and forever little one. A little piece of my
heart went with you never to return.
------------------------------------------------------
".....One moonlight night, the fairies came
flying in at the window, and brought her
such a pretty pair of wings, that she could
not help putting them on: and she flew with
them out of the window, and over the land,
and over the sea, and up through the clouds..."
from "The Water Babies" by Charles Kingsley
-------------------------------------------
Ask my mum how she is
My mum, she tells alot 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 that '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 the choice you see
Nor the strength to yell
Ask my mum how she is
'Im fine, I'm well, I'm coping'
For Gods sake mum, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken
She'll love me all of her life
I loved her all of mine
But if you ask her how she is
She'll lie and say she's fine

FOR ISABELLA KIRA
Most innocent of innocents
Perfect in every way,
By an unseen angel on noiseless wings
You were silently borne away.
To another place where angels sing
And all is peace and calm
To be a little cherubim
Protected from all harm.
God keep, my tiny stillborn child,
In your tender loving care
And this my plea dear Lord shall be
Through anguish and despair,
That if it be your will oh Lord,
Please keep her presence near,
Her perfect soul entwined with mine -
My precious little dear.

I stood beside your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.
I touched you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much you
love and long to hold me.
I was with you at the store today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.
I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then
smiled, I think you knew,
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over, I smile and watch
you yawning and say
"goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and
we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to
show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.
All my love XxX♥ May the winds of love ♥
♥ blow softly and whisper ♥
♥ in your ear how much ♥
♥ we love and miss you ♥
♥ and wish that you were here♥
♥xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx♥

Love always xxxxx
Little tiny babe
Glimpsed but not known
Resting on the heart of God
Treasured in our own.
Sadness will not be yours
-eternal joy and peace
No tears to shed as ours
God bless, sweet babe, be free.
Sue & Chris Hodrien (grandparents)
To Isabella from your Nana
To a beautiful treasure
A feather on a branch
Once seen and admired
Then vanished in a glance
You hold what is valued
In hearts and in minds
Once held never forgetten
Our thoughts all entwined
A breeze or a whisper
A hint in the air
A spirit so precious
Taken far in the air
A whisper, a feeling
Our memories will last
We will never forget you
As you live in our hearts
♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.
Did you ever feel a tiny raindrop
trickle down from the sky
and land upon your cheek
when there is no rain in sight….
and wonder where it came from
when the day is sunny and bright?
♥*•.
Did you ever hear someone
clearly call out your name,
and when you turned to look
there’s not a familiar face
anywhere around
and wonder where it came from,
when the voice was there
without an ounce of doubt?
♥*•.
The answer is quite simple you see,
Angels are everywhere
watching over you and me….
Though at times we don’t feel
a presence at our side.
Angels are always there
morning, noon and night,
in the most mysterious of ways….
looking after us with much love
forever and always.
♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.
Written by: Laura Strickland �
angels called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.
Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.
