TO ALL MY GTS FRIENDS

I am so sorry I have not been on for the last few weeks - as I said before, I had 3 weeks off work
and our home pc is broken. Once I was back at work, I had trouble logging onto the new GTS site as
the password was sent to my home e-mail account which is blocked at work. Am only just back on - we
go on holiday tomorrow for 2 weeks but then I will be back and able to continue my candles for all
your beautiful angels.

You are all always in my thoughts,

love

Corinne

To my GTS friends - I am off work for the next 3 weeks and our home pc seems to have a virus so has
been sent off for repair. I am sorry that I will be unable to come on the internet during this time
and light candles for your angels, however each and every one of them are in my thoughts.

Love to you all,

Corinne

Emily's baby sibling sadly went to join her yesterday. This was a baby we desperately wanted but it
was not to be. We hope that he or she has found Emily and that Emily will take care of her baby
brother or sister.
Please light a candle for this very much wanted baby.

I thank each and every one of you who support us with your candles, I am sorry I have been unable to
light candles for you the last few days but have been in hospital. I will return in the next day or
so to continue lighting candles for all my many GTS friends.

11th January 2008
I now feel able to recount our story.

I had a normal and happy pregnancy with Emily. I was closely monitored as I had suffered from
pre-eclampsia when pregnant with my son who was born by c-section but I was the model of health this
time around. It was agreed that I would have a c-section this time around on the 21st September, a
week before her due date.

The night before, I was having a bath to relax and we were discussing names as we had still not
decided (we knew it was a girl). She gave some almighty kicks and my husband remarked on how she
must be getting impatient to be born. I went to sleep and woke up at midnight with tummy ache. I
went back to sleep and woke at around 4am with contractions. I called the hospital and they said to
come in and they may do the section earlier (I was due to go in at 8am). We left the house, excited
and nervous at the same time. All was fine, we were met at the delivery suite and the midwife
listened in to check the heartbeat. We could hear mine but not hers. She said that perhaps the baby
was in an awkward position and she would get a portable scanner. Still unconcerned, my husband and
I were chatting and excited. The midwife returned with the doctor, at this point I felt a little
concerned and could see the concern on my husband's face. The Doctor looked at the scanner for quite
a long time and asked the midwife to send for the Consultant. I asked the Doctor if everything was
ok - What she said next will haunt me forever - she said that if she was honest, she thought our
baby had died. A part of me died at that very moment. The Consultant came and it was confirmed.

Our baby had been alive only a few hours earlier. We had been given 2 dates for the section - the
19th or the 21st - I will forever live with the burning question - "what if we had opted for the
section on the 19th", would I now have a 4 month old healthy baby at home? I will never know the
answer to this.

We miss our daughter more than we could ever describe - we love you Emily.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I would like to thank everyone who has lit candles for our beautiful daughter, especially Maria who
never fails to visit. It means a great deal to me that you keep her in your thoughts.
Thank you all and wishing everyone a peaceful 2008 with happier times to come.

I'm just a little baby
Who didn't quite make it there;
I went straight to be with Jesus,
and I am waiting for you here.

Don't you worry about me mommy,
I am of all God's lambs most blessed;
I would have loved to stay with you,
but the Shepherd knows whats best.

So dear mommy, don't you sorrow,
wipe those tears and chase the gloom,
I went to be with Jesus,
Straight from my mommy's womb.

Thank-you for the life you gave me,
it was brief but I don't complain;
I have all of Heaven's glories,
Will suffer none of the earthly pain.

Daddy gave me something for you,
It's our secret, Mommy dear,
He pressed it tight against my forhead,
and he whispered in my tiny ear.

I'll be waiting for you, Mommy,
For You and Daddy both.
I'll be with you forever,
Then I'll give you Daddy's kiss

With love, hugs and thoughts to all of you from Nicki and family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Can You Be A Mother When Your Baby Is Not With You? ~

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked 'What makes a Mother?'
And I know I heard Him say.

'A Mother has a baby'
This we know is true
'But God can you be a Mother,
when your baby's not with you?'

'Yes, you can,' He replied
With confidence in His voice
'I give many women babies,
When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay.'

'I just don't understand this God
I want my baby to be here.'
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw the tear.

'I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With all the other children and say...'

We go to earth to learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear,
My mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a Mom,
Who had so much love for me
I learned my lessons very quickly
My mommy set me free.

I miss my mommy oh so much
But I visit her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillows were I lay

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'

'So you see my dear sweet ones,
Your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home
And this is where they'll stay.'

'They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lessons through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you.

So now you see what makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize
You are a mother.
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day
and know that you are the best one.'

So sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Emily is now a beautiful little angel in heaven, with all of our little angels. She will have fun playing in the clouds, and will be watching over you with love every day. God bless xxx
