I already had my First born a little boy who i named Christopher.
But this is how that fateful day unfolded, when i lost my second preganacy.

I was 24 weeks pregnant; when i felt the most horrendous shooting pain surging through my stomach. I phoned the midwife and explained the symptoms to her,she told me to go straight to the hospital to get checked out.
I had a scan which revealed i was in the early stages of labour. 2 hours past and the pain got worse, then at 12:15 pm. A little girl "My Samantha" emerged making no sound, naturally i panicked, i kept asking to see her but all the doctors would say is that she needed attention. I had 2 wait 1 hour before the doctors brought my beautiful daughter to me.

I later found out; she was under developed and i was advised not to remove the tiny hat they had placed on her head. Also her tiny lungs were not formed properly, she weighed only 500 grams when she was born, the inevitable was about 2 happen and there was nothing i could do 2 save my little angel so all i could do was hold her tiny and fragile body close 2 me, she lay in my arms for 4 hours before she sadly lost her battle for life in this world and became a beautiful little angel.

I started to haemorrage really bad.
I needed to go to surgery as the placenta did not appear. I was told it was unlikely i'd ever have any more children because of the complications during surgery.

I have since had another pregnancy that also ended at 6 weeks, but since those sad times i have had some joy and a bouncy 3 year old came into my life, who does require medical attention from time to time, but is alive and happy, and i strongly believe my little Samantha has helped make this happen.


To make things worse i have no picture of my beautiful little angel, instead i carry this image in my head.

I WOULD JUST LIKE 2 SAY A HUGE THANKYOU 2 EVERYONE WHO HAS SENT A TRIBUTE, GIFT OR LIT A CANDLE, I AM TRULY TOUCHED BY HOW MANY UNKNOWN PEOPLE WHO I WILL PROBABLY NEVER MEET CAN CARE SO MUCH ABOUT MY LITTLE GIRL.

To my beautiful daughter Sammy,

Happy 12th birthday to my gorgeous baby girl, i love an miss u so so much each an every day.
Not a day goes by when u r not in my thoughts. I wish every day u were still here with me, but sadly u grew ur wings 2 early an become an angel up above.

Please help guide me through this difficult time.
When im feeling low i often find myself looking up above 2 find comfort from the stars, sometimes it helps, sometimes it makes me feel worse.

The day i lost u will stay with me forever, that was the hardest day i have ever experienced an i can still feel the same pain now that i felt 12 years ago 2morro.

Love an miss u always my beautiful baby girl.

To my beautiful baby girl,

I cant believe its been nearly 12 years since i last held u in my arms, sunday is gonna b a very hard day, as we should b celebrating ur 12th birthday, but sadly u grew ur angel wings.
I think about u every day, an i love u no less 2day, than i did all those years ago.
I still ask myself the same question, why were u taken from me but i still have not got the answer and sadly i dont think i will ever know that answer.
RIP my beautiful baby girl.
We miss u sooooooooooooooooo much every day,
Chris sends his love, and ciaran is just starting 2 understand that u r in heaven, lthough he is still a little young 2 fully understand wot heaven means.


I will love u for eternity an beyond, and dont u ever forget that my precious child.



Sendin u lots of special hugs an kisses
