I lost my gorgeous baby girl Tilly-leigh nearly five years ago, and it feels just like yesterday.
Altough my life is easyer to live with now, than it was back then.
She is no more than a thought or a heartbeat away.

I love you baby girl.

I've only just came across this site, so its all new to me. (bare with me. lol)
I use Bebo alot and have a page made up:
In memory of tilly-leigh
Please feel free to go on and have a look, sorry i don't have a link to it.
(Not sure if i can do that)

My love goes out to ALL the lilttle angels.

Tilly-leighs story
I first found out i was having Tilly-leigh on the 17th dec 2003.
I was 5 weeks gone, it was a real shock, as she was not planed. When i first saw her at my 12 week
scan, i fell in love, with this tiny wee baby who was kicking her arms and legs, i cryed as i was so
happy.
As far as i knew everything was going fine, right down to the last 2 weeks.
I went into hospital on my 38th week, and told them my water is braking, they done an scan and my
water was there and fine. I went back up two more times telling them that it is going, and on the
3ed time i was 39weeks and 6 days, i was looked over by 3 midwifes and was about to be sent home, i
got told a doctor would have to look me over once more before going home, when she did, i got told i
was in labour.
(Don't know how the midwifes missed that)
I got sent upsairs and was in labour for five hours, i gave birth to the gorgeous Tilly-leigh on the
17th aug 2004 at 4:33am
(With NO waters).
I was so sure i was having a boy, i cryed again tears of joy. I got told that tilly was a bit on the
wee side being 5lb 13 1/2 oz but she of course looked fine to me.
We went to the word, and tilly was with me for 12 hours.
Where she got her hospital photo taking (Her profile pic) she wasn't keeping her temperature up, and
her apgar score was really low.
Tilly was taking to the special care baby unit, i was told it was only for some tlc,
at that point, i wasn't really that worryed i thought everything was going to be fine.

On the 18th aug i went down to see tilly, and got the shock of my life because she was not there, i
got told she was moved through to icu...i then broked down and cryed.
A doctor sat me down and said that tilly-leigh had necrotising enterocolitis, (nec for short) witch
means she had a hole in her bowel, that had to be fixed.
"Theres only 10% off full term babies that have nec, most of them are pre-term babies or babies with
a low birth weight"
Tilly had to go for an op, and signing that paper was the hardst thing ever.
The op went well, and tilly go back to the icu about 9am on the 19th aug, i got told that tilly
would have been in and out of hospial for op's for most of her life, (if she had lived) Tilly was a
fighter and i am so proud of her, she held on, but saddy at 11:35pm tilly lost that fight, i held
her in my arms as she took her last breath.

"I tryed to sue the hospital for negligence, as i knew my waters had broke, tilly was in me for two
weeks with no waters, and she was ill with a hole in her bowel.
It was a long fight, but everyone in the hospial were sticking up for each other, and there was
nothing i could have done"
All i can say is i tryed my best.

Thank YOU xx

Thank YOU so much "Tilly Leigh's" Mummy/Daddy for 'thanking' me for leaving a tribute. It is my pleasure. I lost my nephew at the age of only five months old to cot death syndrome. The memories NEVER fade, - and the pictures do eventually lead to "happy" memories of the beautiful baby that we had the pleasure of nurturing. I don't really believe in the 'saying' that some people leave: "GOD BLESS YOU" - because some people don't believe in God. I just want you to be able to return to some sort of normality whether you believe in God or not. Please keep strong. If this feels impossible - please get in touch with me through this site - leave me a phone number and I will return your call. Love me xxxx

Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama please don't cry~
"Cause I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies."
Please, try not to question God,
Don't think he is unkind
Don't think He sent me to you,
and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child,
and I'm needed up above
I'm the special gift you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you
and watch the sky at night,
Find the brightest star that's gleaming,
That's my halo's brilliant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost,
that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers,
I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze,
from a gentle wind that blows
That's me, I'll be there,
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing,
and your heart feels a little tug,
That's me, I'll be there,
giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad,
Mama don't you cry.
I'm in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SLEEP TIGHT LITTLE ANGEL

Beautiful Tilly

What a beautiful little Angel. Oh my God. How do you keep going? Actually - you keep going because your little Tilly asks you to.

Do you know what? Little Tilly tells every Angel up in the heavens that her Mummy and Daddy are SO precious and she wants them to keep strong and positive and celebrate her EVERY day. YOU (Mummy & Daddy)- are the only reason that she keeps sending you messages through your friends and 'contacts' throughout 'Gone Too Soon'.
