Maisie was a beautiful little girl taken away from us after just 2 days.
She was born by emergency c section following a routine 39 weeks ante natal check up where we
discovered her heartbeat was very slow due the umbilicl cord being wrapped very tightly around her
foot.
As our local hospital HRI no longer has emergency maternity services i had to be taken to another
hospital over half an hour away,this time was critical and we believe cost Maisie her life had we
been able to go to our local HRI she would have been delivered in half the time and would not have
suffered the brain damage to the extent that she did and subsequently would still be here with us
now.
after she was born she was transfered to St James's neo natal unit for intensive care where the
staff there did eveything they could for our little angel but unfortunatly it was too late the
damage had already been done and was irrepairable and there was no more they could for her she had
suffered lack of oxygen to her brain and we had to make the painful decision to take her off life
support and let her be peaceful.
She died in the arms of her mummy and daddy and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
We will never forget our special little girl and we will always be thankful for the time we got with
her although it was only 2 days.

We love her so much and not a day goes by when we dont miss her and wish she was here with us but
she will always be with us in our hearts until we meet again.

Rest in peace our precious baby girl

Love you always and forever

Mummy and Daddy xxxxxxxxxxx



We now have a Facebook group MOMS (move our maternity services back) and a petition to restore the
services back to Huddersfield to try and stop this happeneing to anyone else if you could please
join the group and sign the petition you really could help us get justice for Maisie and save lives
of babies and mothers in the future.
Thankyou all very much xxx

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual For Monday


LITTLE ANGELS

When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realise God loves children
Angels are hard to find.

If roses grow in heaven,
Lord Please pick one for me.
Place it in my Loved ones hand
And tell them it's from me.
Tell them that I love them
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And hold them for a while.
Remembering them is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.



I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.

Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.

So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.



If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE


Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.


X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X


You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.


X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X


I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY BUSY DAY FOR ME

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

If I Knew

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

Christmas in Heaven'

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
.
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
.
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

Have A Good Weekend Everyone

This Tribute Is For Friday Busy Tomorrow


You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”


“The Best”

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”

Angels in My Life



There have been Angels in my life...

While they haven't arrived with a blast

of trumpets or a rustle of wings,

I've known them just the same.

They performed their acts in Human guise...

sometimes borrowing the faces of family and friends,

sometimes, posing as well-meaning strangers...

You have known them too!

When just the right word was needed,

when a tiny act of kindness

made a great difference...


You are an in someone's life...

I'm glad you're in mine!
