born to eternal life 2.30pm the 4th day of April 2000
we will carry you in our hearts always

When Sharon & Eddie told me that Sharon was pregnant . I was over the moon my third grandchild another little darling to call me LITTLE NANNY the name Matthew my oldest grand son gave me .and which Danny and Matthew still call me today.

Sharon had a perfect pregnancy up till the 22 week when she went for a ultra scan and found out that the baby didn't have enough fluid around her and was underweight for her age. but we put our fears behind us and hoped for the best. Sharon had to go to the hospital every week for a checkup and things weren't looking good , but the doctor said that if she could go until 28 weeks and the baby reached 500 grams there was a chance a slim one that the baby would survive.

The weeks crawled by and on the 28 th week they said that they would have to induce her and bring the baby into the world . she would not have much more than 10% chance of survival . she was booked in to the labour ward on Sunday the 26 th of September one day after Eddies 32 nd birthday. and were going to induce her on the Monday. we were told not to expect the baby to survive. so we steeled our selves for that awful outcome.

On the 26 th myself graham and grahams mum ,Eddie and Sharon went to the hospital with heavy hearts and not much hope. Sharon was admitted and they monitored her. we were told that they would be taking the baby the next morning. and everything seemed fine , so graham & I and mum went home and Eddie stayed on with Sharon.

we went home and about 11.30 Eddie rang and said that the baby was stressing out and they would have to bring her out as it was getting to dangerous for Sharon and we could lose the both of them and we had better get up to the hospital.
so we rushed up and when we arrived there and found Eddie we were told the wonderful news we had a new Grand daughter a miracle baby weighing only 460 grams. and 12 weeks premature on life support but was holding her own. and had a fighting chance for survival .

I have never been so happy in my life!!! Graham couldn't stop crying and me and mum just held Eddie and hugged him and hugged him. the doctor came in and said to Eddie what are you waiting for don't you want to see your new daughter. He ran out of the room and didn't even wait to see if we could go to. he was so excited.

I couldn't wait to see Sharon and hug her , but as she had a ceaser and was very tired and worn out we didn't see her until the next morning when I went up with Eddie . we had to wait to see our little darling.

Sharon and Eddie had named her Georgieanna May which thrilled me no end as Georgieanna May was a combination of three Grandmothers on the Johnson side.: Great, great grand mother Georgina Elisabeth ;, great grand mother Doreen May and my self Patricia Ann. mum and thought the name was just marvelous.

When I first saw Georgieanna I had no idea that a baby could be so small and live She was no bigger than my hand and I have a small hand but she thrilled me to pieces with her little head moving and little legs moving, so small so precious so marvelous so alive I just cried and cried with joy of it all .oh!my darling little granddaughter how I loved you from the first moment I saw you. and already had plans to have you dressed up in little outfits which we had brought but would have been many sizes to big for you.

I still wonder even today how small she was and how big her heart was and how she never complained no matter what they nurses and doctors had to do to her.. one nurse called her their quiet achiever.

Georgieanna grew slowly and finally reached the magic weight of 2800grams and with a few hiccups on the way finally came out of intensive care nursery and went to special care nursery. she was thriving starting to take full bottles and having baths and being dressed in her new clothes we were so proud of her and were making plans to bring her home Eddie Had got her room at home ready with every toy and baby mobile in place, with her cot set up and nappies ready. new clothes washed and ironed. the way she was going she should have been home in the new year.

But Tragedy struck Eddie went to hospital to have some new medication monitored and was injected with a drug that he was highly allergic to and he died in 9 and half minutes. our gentle loving son in law Eddie had been taken from us in a flash, Graham and I couldn't believe it ! Oh ! Sharon my poor darling Daughter what could we say ?, what could we do? if only we could turn back the clock. Sharon my darling your father and I love you so much and it tears the heart out of us to see you hurt like this. and. our poor little Baby Georgieanna who loved her father so much and was bonded so close to him. did God send your Father to heaven first so he would be there for you ,when God knew you would be going to heaven so soon ?

Sharon and all of us were numb with shock but we all pulled ourselves together we had Georgieanna to live for and she would need all of our love even more now that Eddie was gone,

Georgieanna seemed to know that Eddie was gone for she used to look for him. any way Georgieanna started to have breathing problems and had to be put back on oxygen she was having dusky episodes and started to stress out her little lungs weren't growing and couldn't supply her enough air she also stopped growing and was still only the size of a new born . she had to be put back into intensive care and in a oxygen tent and new medication regime she seemed to respond but then she started to have stress attacks again. and she got a bladder infection and back on antibiotics things started to look a bit better and we thought she was over the worst of it. and to look at her you wouldn't think that she had a thing wrong with her.

Then the worst happen on the morning of the 4th of April she had a massive stress attack which totally exhausted her and she slipped back ward Sharon and I raced up to the hospital and sat with her hoping on hope that she would rally. I felt so useless and helpless when they said that things were looking grim and we had better arrange to get our darling blessed. I rang my sister Val and asked if Vern her husband would Bless our cherub . Graham was rushing up to the hospital with Mum and Billy. My oldest son don and Margaret arrived.

,Sharon was nursing Georgieanna and she put on her Angel wings and flew to heaven with God and her father at 2.35 pm. Graham missed her going by 10 minutes he was devastated as we all were.

Our Darling our love our joy was gone to be one of Gods angels and a part of us went with her .

Georgieanna Little Nanny Loves you and has always loved you and always will love you and will kiss and hug you in heaven one day in the future be happy my little miracle girl.

My bright star came to light
the way for me so bright
my little angel came my way
and I loved you every day

my bright star so small
the most beautiful of all
my heart so full of pride
taking my senses for a ride

My bright star little nanny's girl
around my life your love did twirl
proud I was when my hand you held
our lives together surely did weld

My bright star not long did I hold
my trembling heart stone cold
fighting to stay with us I know
but to God in heaven you did go

My bright Star in heaven above
looking down, sending your love
Georgieanna May, my Bright star
Brightest in the night sky by far

My bright star, next to you I will stand
you and your daddy will hold my hand
I will sing you to sleep with a lulla-bye
Then , Georgieanna no more tears will I cry.
