Evelyn's Card

Hi My Friends

Well!. We had a lovely afternoon over Claire's to celebrate what would have been Evelyn's 4th Birthday. Claire had ordered a lovely spread of food from M&S and it was yummy. She asked if I would do some savoury goodies which I was more than happy to do, then I said  would you like me to do a plate of your favourites which is cheese & pineapple ( how 70's ). It was just the Grandparents and my son Craig there today as we were the only people that got to meet and hold Evelyn ,but it wasn't a sad it's more a bittersweet day but we really did celebrated the day. I know Claire was sad and I made sure she wasn't left alone but I also noted that Claire didn't leave me too much either bless her.

I saw this sentiment stamp on a show on Hochanda a few ago and thought this is just perfect for Evelyn's birthday card and I love the little die of the hands as Toby took a photo of Evelyn's hand in Claire just after Evelyn was born. I think the die was 95p and free delivery from Wish.




Right, Here Goes!

To those that pop in to visit Thank you.

See you again soon XX

Hi My Friends

Yesterday 4 years ago was one of the most devastating days in my life, we were informed that our awaited granddaughter had passed away in her mummy's tummy. Just the day before I had heard her little heart beating. We got the most upsetting phone call from Claire to say that she couldn't feel Evelyn moving after the best nights sleep she had had throughout her pregnancy, Evelyn had passed away overnight for no reason. Our little grandchild was gone.

We all went to Winchester hospital awaiting hope that the midwife had got it wrong and that by some miracle her monitor had a fault.

Paul was parking the car and Erica & Myself were taken into a room, I thought then this does not feel good as they did that when at 22 I heard that my mum had passed away just seconds before I tried to run into her ward.

I remember a senior nurse talking to me & Erica but I just wanted to get out of that room as I knew the news was not going to be what I wanted to hear. I remember hearing Erica scream. I remember getting out of that room and later hearing Paul's voice and we just sobbed. We both knew that day that we had not only lost our beautiful granddaughter but we lost our daughter too, or the daughter she was before losing Evelyn. I watched her holding Evelyn in her tummy rocking and telling her how much she loved her and as a mum you are expected to make things good again ,but I just sat watching the pain on my beautiful girl's face knowing that I couldn't take her pain away and that she would never be the same again.

At 22.22pm  03-03-16  7lb 7oz  Evelyn came quietly into the world. I will raise a glass to my beautiful little Angel and to my very brave daughter & her husband that had to go through the most saddest & devastating time together. Words fail me at this point.

I wanted to post Evelyn's card today on her birthday but just couldn't. We are having a celebration of Evelyn day on Saturday so I will post it on Sunday.

To my beautiful Evelyn, Happy Heavenly Birthday Sweetheart.

Love & Hugs
