Me and my partner found out I was pregnant on 24 December 2007. It was not a planned pregnancy but
out unborn child still meant the world to us.
My pregnancy went smooth up until 11 weeks when i had slight bleeding. I went for my 12 week scan
early but was told everything was fine. After that i had not further problems.
I went for my 20 week scan as normal and what a wriggly bum she was. The nurse could not get clear
measurements as her head was right behind my belly button. At the time she could not tell me the sex
as the cord was between her legs.
On 21st May I was sat watching a film with my partner but could not get comfortable and had slight
stomach cramps. I went to bed but could not sleep. At 7:00am on 22nd May I was in that much pain my
partner took me to the hospital only to find out I was in premature labour and already 6cm
dialated.
I was only 25 weeks pregnant so this came as a really big shock. My partner had only just come back
from being abroad with work for 2 weeks and now this. We were not ready or expecting this.
The contractions slowly increased in pain and the gaps between were getting smaller. My waters had
not broken yet so I had a lot of pressure down below. My waters finally broke at 2:54 and Katelyn
Mya West was born at 2:59.
Katelyn Mya West was taken straight to the special care baby unit in the university hospital. I was
given 2 photos of her and told she weighed only 1lb 15oz. When i got to see her she was doing really
well. She was breathing on her own and the doctors were surprised how well she was doing for her
gestation.
Me and my Partner stayed with her all night until tiredness got the better of us and we went to
sleep. At 10:00am we were called down to see her as she had taken a turn for the worst over night.
She was bleeding into the right side of her brain and all her organs were slowly shutting down.
Me and my partner were heartbroken, we had not had our daughter very long and she was already
slipping away from us. We were told there was nothing more they could do for her.
We were taken into Ellie's room and Katelyn was brought in in her incubator. They supplied her with
morphine and took her off the ventilator. We held her as she slipped peacefully away in our arms
only 25 hours old. We have hand and feet prints, the hat she was put in, her blanket, all her wrist
bands, and the wires that monitored her heart beat and blood pressure.
Katelyn's funeral was held on 5th June 2008. It was a lovely service and I was very touch by the
amount of people that came to say goodbye.
My little angel is always with us and she will always be remebered. She was loved by many but met so
few.
Sweet dreams Katelyn, Mummy and Daddy love you always.
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.
Love Always xxx
In a baby castle just beyond your eye

Happy Birthday Sweet Angel
Special Angel Day - by Sam & Gordon Winson
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
♥♥ Happy Birthday Heaven`s Little Princess ♥♥

You’re wondering if I’ll celebrate
My birthday (way up here)
I know you’re missing me today
I feel your essence near.
♥♥
God planned a special day for me
He told me with a wink
He’d ordered me a special cake
(It’s Angel food, I think)
♥♥
I’m getting lots of hugs from God
He’s really good at that
And every time that I walk by
He gives my head a pat
♥♥
Balloons will fill the streets for me
They float up through the clouds
And we have lots of clowns up here
That make us laugh out loud
♥♥
There is a birthday carousel
Jeweled horses ride the wind
With music playing oh so sweet…
The magic never ends
♥♥
I’ve made so many friends, you see
We laugh and play and sing
We ride our bikes and play jump rope
And sleep in Angel’s wings
♥♥
We’ll have our cake and ice cream
And open gifts, surprise!
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies

♥♥ TINY LITTLE HALO ♥♥
Tiny little fingers
Tiny little toes
Tiny rosebud lips of pink
A miracle I know
I couldn't wait to see you
And hold you close to me
But found, instead, that some things
Are never meant to be
Tiny little halo
Above your tiny head
I know that God has chosen you
To be with him instead

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE
Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.
