I have written a book about Imogen, available to buy on Blurb.com. It is called Imogen Grace with a smiley face.

My beautiful daughter Imogen Grace Angel, was born on May 29th 2004, by emergency section, weighing a tiny 4lb 2oz. She was my very much longed for and wanted baby girl. A baby I thought I would never have due to having 4 previous miscarriages. I had a lovely pregnancy with her, having weekly scans up to 12 weeks, and then growth scans from 28 weeks due to her being small. Even though I was having growth scans, I remained blissfully unaware there was anything wrong. I had had a scare at 12 weeks when they thought Imi had Down Syndrome and again at 20 weeks where I was told by a midwife that they thought she had Edwards syndrome and she advised me to think about a termination??? Both times my specialist reassured me that she was fine. Why wouldn't I believe him?
Imogen was rushed into intensive care where she remained for 10 weeks. We had a few scares in those weeks, but the strong and determined little girl she was, she thankfully proved them all wrong. She was diagnosed with Cornelia De Lange syndrome at just over 3 weeks old. It was such a relief to have a correct diagnosis, and more importantly, to know her syndrome wasn't fatal. She had difficulties ahead of her, but as long as she wasn't going to die, I could face anything. Once she was home, although it was hard sometimes with her feeding (she was tube fed nasaly) vomitting after every feed and being on oxygen, we did everything all new mummies and daughters do. I loved being a mummy and felt so very blessed to have such a beautiful little girl to love and cherish.
She remained tiny, due to her syndrome, weighing a tiny 12lb at a year old. I threw her a massive party for her 1st birthday with a clown and coincided it with a naming ceremony. It was a very special day, one I hadn't dared dream about.
Imogen had a couple of scares where an ambulance had had to be called and she had been kept in hospital for a few days, but apart from them, she thrived.
On the morning of April 20th 2006, I woke up to a deathly silence. Imogen was a loud breather so you could always hear her. I rushed into her nursery where I found her barely breathing, cold and clammy. I realised she had a high temperature so I ripped her sleeping bag off her and rang for an ambulance. They didn't answer straight away so in my panic I hung up, thinking I would take her myself. As soon as I put her in her car seat, she stopped breathing. Luckily the ambulance people called me back and a lovely lady kept talking to me, advising me what to do until the ambulance arrived. Imogen didn't breath again on her own. I phoned her dad and my parents to let them know what was happening. They arrived at the hospital about an hour later. Imogen was worked on tirelessly and had a specialist team come from Sheffield, but sadly her tiny body couldn't fight any longer. She was placed in my arms at 2.30pm, where she peacefully passed away. My whole world shattered the day I lost my precious little girl. I love and miss her more each day. I gave her my heart the day she was born and she took it with her the day she died xxxxx

~ One Day ~

I can see you my Angel
Through these eyes of mine
You are watching me from heaven
Oh how wonderful you shine
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
Clouds are floating past me
But I can still see you
To be with you in heaven
Would be a dream come true
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
I will patiently wait Angel
Many years may come and go
You will always be shining for me
With your heavenly glow
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃
When my time on earth is through
And my eyes can no longer see you
God will open his arms and welcome me
To be in heaven with you for Eternity
❃•:*:••:*:• ❃•:*:• ❃

♥ New Year’s Eve ♥

It’s New Years Eve
The clock strikes twelve
The church bells ring
As another New Year begins

We are hoping for better things
The one thing we want more than anything
Is to have you here with us
But that remains a dream

Dreams of the past
Are all that remain
When we were all together
Celebrating with joy in our hearts

And days full of smiles and laughter
Now they are dreams of the past
No matter what
The New Year will begin

Our hearts are filled with sorrow and pain
Our tears will fall from our eyes like rain
We just want the dreams of the past
All we want in this New Year

Is to feel you ever near
Your smile Your love
Your presence Your touch
Those are the things we want so much

Another year begins
And all we have
Are dreams of the past
With hope for a better year

The Unknown Future

Life is a book in volumes three--
The past, the present, and the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight -- God keeps the key.

*ღ* Comfort *ღ*

The Holy Spirit comforts,
As He whispers in your ear;
A loving word of perfect peace,
Designed for you to hear.

A song of tender mercy,
He brings to soothe your sorrows;
Sweet memories of yesterday,
And hope for your tomorrows.

His tender arms enfold you,
He holds you as you pray;
Then reaches out His loving hand,
And wipes your tears away.

The Spirit of the Living God,
A light in the midst of the dark;
A comforting flame to guard you,
As he touches and heals your heart.

Christmas in Heaven
by Unknown

'Tis Christmas in Heaven
What a beautiful sight!
It's wonderful here;
Everything is all right.

The crib is adorned
With the brilliance of stars,
Wisemen have come
From Venus and Mars.

I've met all our dear ones
Who preceded us here;
The reunion was lovely,
An event full of cheer.

And tonight we'll all gather,
In reverence we'll kneel,
For the Babe in the cradle
Up in Heaven is Real.

I think of my family
that I left behind
And I pray that your Christmas
Is as blessed as mine

Please shed no more tears,
For my soul is at rest,
Just love one another;
Live life to its best.

Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven,
So I've heard them say,
Yet, Christmas In Heaven
Happens every day.

Tributes For Week Commencing 12th December 2011


.............*...,........We All
........... *.☽..........Miss Our
...... . * . ☽. *........Special Angels
.. . * . ☽. *. ☽. *....At Christmas
............|_|

FOR MONDAY

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.

FOR TUESDAY

Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.

FOR WEDNESDAY

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

FOR THURSDAY

We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.

FOR FRIDAY

Love Lives On
Those we love
Are never really lost to us –

We feel them
In so many special ways-

Through friends
They always cared about

And dreams they left behind,
In beauty that they added to our days...

In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...

Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

FOR SATURDAY

If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.

Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.

FOR SUNDAY

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.
