Precious daughter of Hayley and Phil, baby sister to Isabelle, Zane, Eden and Identical twin of
Daisy.
Taken from us by Twin to twin transfusion syndrome at 37wks.
~~A tiny flower lent not given, to bud on earth and bloom in heaven.~~
Lily's story.
Mummy found out she was expecting you on the 7th October 2006. Her and Daddy were very pleased and
your big sisters and brother were very excited.
At 8 wks and 5 days pregnant mummy got very bad stomach pains so i phoned Daddy at work and he
rushed home to take me to the hospital. Mummy stayed at the hospital all night but doctors could't
find anything wrong, so they sent me home and told me to come back the next day for a scan.
14/11/2006
Mummy and Daddy went back to the hospital and sat together in the waiting room nervously and poor
old mummy was bursting for a wee!! We went into the scan room and as soon as the scan started Mummy
and Daddy saw that it wasn't just one baby growing in mummys tummy there were two of you and both of
you just perfect. Mummy and Daddy laughed lots and lots and Daddy looked a funny colour.
We spent the rest of the day between happiness and shock and spent lots of time on the phone telling
people that Mummy was expecting TWINS!!!!
Mummy had a very good pregnancy although she was sick for nearly 5mths, she couldn't even stand the
sight of her favourite chinese food!!!!
At 14wks Mummy was told that you and your twin were identical. I was scanned every two weeks. At
18wks Mummy and Daddy were told that you and your twin were GIRLS! We chose the names Daisy Emma and
Lily Dawn and we nicknamed you the "Flowertots". You and Daisy grew and grew(and so did Mummy) and
the hospital were very pleased.
At 35wks Mummy went for a scan and you and Daisy were both suggled up together, kicking away. I was
given an induction date for 38wks. Everyone was very excited that you and Daisy would be arriving
soon and poor old Mummy was very relieved because she was so big and uncomfortable. I was to go back
at 37wks just to check that you were both head down and ready to be born.
On the 29th May 2007 Mummy went for her final scan, very excited because it would be the last time i
would see you on a screen the next time i saw you and Daisy i would be holding you safe in my arms.
Mummy went with her friend Liz who had come to lots of scans before when Daddy couldn't make it,
Daddy had been at work the night before and couldn't make it to the last scan he was very sad about
that.
As soon as the doctor started Mummys scan i knew something was wrong. First she scanned Daisy whos
bladder was very big and she was surronded by lots of fluid, Mummy was very worried at this point.
Next she scanned you and although you were not moving it never occured to mummy that you had become
an angel. The doctor stopped scanning me and simply said "I'm so sorry one of you babies hasn't made
it" I felt like i had been hit by a train.
Mummy and Liz cried lots and lots. We were moved to another room where Liz phoned Grandma to tell
her that you had gone. Grandma went to fetch Daddy to tell him about you and send him to the
hospital to Mummy.
Sitting in the room with Liz was the strangest feeling in the world i felt so empty and heartbroken
i just wanted the news to be wrong for someone to come and tell me the doctor had made a mistake. It
felt like it took an eternity for Daddy to arrive when really it was only about 20mins. Daddy came
into the room and gave mummy a big cuddle. He asked if i knew which baby was now our angel mummy
just put her hand to her tummy and daddy knew, it felt like if i had said your name out loud it
would have to be true.
The doctor came to talk to us about what had happend and we were told that you had been taken from
us by Acute Twin To Twin Tranfusion Syndrome(TTTS). You had gotten to much blood from your placenta
and eventually your little heart could take no more and it had stopped and you became our angel.
Mummy had an emergeny c section and at 14:44 Daisy was born quickly follwed by you at 14:45.
A few hours later in recovery the midwife asked Mummy and Daddy if they would like to see you. Of
course the was never any question mummy and daddy despratley wanted to see you.
The midwife bought you in, in a white moses basket, you were wrapped in a white and peach blanket
wearing a small white bonnet. My heart broke you were one of the most beautiful, perfect things i
had ever seen. You were so small and totally perfect all 5lbs 2 1/2 ozs of you, you had chubby
little cheeks and 10 tiny fingers and 10 toes all of them perfect and the prettiest lips.
I just wanted to hold onto you and never let you go. Auntie Emma, Gran, Grandma and Auntie Toni all
came to see you and say good bye but only Mummy and Daddy held you because you were far too precious
to share.
After holding you for a while Mummy and Daddy decided it was time to say goodbye, we both gave you
one last kiss and told you that we loved you.
That will always be the hardest thing i will ever have to do in my whole life. I will always wish
that i had spent more time with you but i realise that no amount of time would have been enough and
i will always dream that i gave you just one more kiss.
We love you and miss you everysingle day angel xxxx

"too beautiful for earth".~~

I know the pain of losing a twin, having lost my little boy this year at 3 weeks old. People say 'they'll live on through their twin' or even 'at least you have one' yes, we're so thankful to have one but we should have two. When you are pregnant with twins you don't expect to have just one baby. Every happy moment is tinged with sadness. I was chuffed to bits when Holly first smiled at me, but sad at thinking whether Ben would have been smiling too. When people make a fuss of Holly, out in the pram i'm so proud but am thinking @imagine the fuss they'd be making of two'. I just wanted you to know you are not alone in this cruel club we've become members of. I hope Lily sleeps peacefully up there, in that better place, with my little man Ben x
so sorry

So sorry for the loss of your precious little girl.XXX
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.

You're A Special Little Spirit
'You're a Special Little Spirit,' the all great Master said,
As he gently caressed the curly blond 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, to grow.
The Little Spirit, in sadness, slowly bowed her head,
And from her eye a tear did steal and down her 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 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 she climbed onto her 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 her 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 His knee,
He firmly took the little hand and said,'Come walk with me.'
The Little Spirit and her Lord walked slowly hand in hand,
As the Master explained Her special part in the great and marvelous plan.
'Now Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand you need 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 the 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 her 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 her 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.'
