A Poem that inspired us to try again and we are so glad we did

'A Different Child'

A different child, people notice, there's a special glow around you You grow, surrounded by Love, never doubting you are wanted Only look at the pride and joy, In your mothers and fathers eyes And if sometimes between the smiles, there's a trace of tears One day you'll understand You'll understand there was a different child that was in their hopes and dreams That child will never outgrow their baby clothes, That child will never keep them up at night In fact that child will never be any trouble at all, except in a silent moment When Mother and Father miss so much That different child May hope and love wrap you warmly and may you learn the lesson forever How infinitely precious, how infinitely fragile is this life on Earth One day as a young woman You may see another mother's tears, another father's silent grief Then you, and you alone will understand and offer the greatest comfort at all When all hope seems lost You will tell them with great compassion "I know how you feel, I'm only here because my mother and father tried again"

Words just can't explain how we felt when our second beautiful daughter arrived safely into the world, after what seemed the longest 9 months of our lives. We have been so blessed with three wonderful and precious children and though Lucy isn't here to see her baby sister, we know she will be watching over her and Emily will always be aware of her big sister who is now an angel.

Emily is now 7 months old at the time of me making this page. She is such a wonderful little girl and makes us so proud with each day that goes by.  We are so grateful to have her after the heartache of losing Lucy and we know that Lucy will be happy too, to know she has a lovely baby sister, as well as her Big Brother Thomas
