It came as a shock to Paul (daddy) and I that we were pregnant, but a happy shock! This was first
baby for us both. My pregnancy was a blessing, it was too smooth, no swollen ankles, no morning
sickness, I felt bright as a button. Daisy's scans went well, each time we heard her heartbeat it
sounded perfect, our little Drum 'n Base baby, I had good blood pressure and iorn levels. I got to
full term, then one week over, then 10 days. I was booked in to be induced at 2 weeks but I so much
wanted to go naturally. Three occassions between 10 days and 2 wks the midwife attempted a sweep.
We listened to Daisy's heart all three times, the second time Sat 20th Oct there was a slight
deceleration and I got sent for a CTG. After being monitored almost an hour the sister told me I
was carrying a healthy happy little baby and sent me home. The third attept of a sweep Mon 22nd Oct
was successful, my midwife listened to Daisy's heart for quite a while and all was well, I was so
excited at the idea our baby might arrive within hours.

I went into labour that night, but slept through the early contractions. I felt quite ill the next
day, contractions were 8 mins apart. I called the midwife who talked me through everything and I
felt reassured all was normal. I was clueless. Later I rang back I told her my contractions were
all over the place and I hadn't felt baby move in a while, she told me baby could be resting before
the big job and came out to examine me. That's were our excitment disappeared, we couldn't hear a
heartbeat and rushed into hospital for a scan. Lay in a room with 4 nurses and a consultant we
watched the screen, they thought there was movement to begin with and we felt some hope but then
they realised it was my breathing. Perhaps they knew, I don't know, but no-one said for a while and
Paul and I just sat there thinking don't let this be real. Then the consultant finally confirmed we
had lost Daisy. We didn't know she was a little girl, not until we met her the next day.

I was a big fan of the idea of natural birth (who was I kidding!) I'd written a birth plan and
opted not to have pethadine as it would pass to baby, though now I don't know what I'd have done
without it then! It made me so ill, but it also took me to another place where I didn't yet have to
face my emotions. Three pethadine jabs and 16 hrs after being admitted to hospital Daisy was born
at 2:10pm on Wednesday 24th Oct 2007. She was so perfect, so much more beautiful than we ever
thought possible. I just was overwhelmed with grief, gutted, drugged up too much to take it all in.
After an examination the midwives bathed Daisy and Paul dessed her and held her and cried while I
slept off the drugs. The other midwives came in and fussed over her and held her like they would
any little one, this ment so much to me. It made me feel so proud. Chrissie the Sister nursed her
and kissed her little head. I spent the night with my beautiful Daisy beside me, the most precious
night of my life. I held her and examined every little part of her body so I could get to know her.
I told her how beautiful she was, how loved by mummy, daddy and all the family and I slept with her
cradled in my arms.

I'd a high temprature and the doctor thought Daisy's loss could be related to an infection, still
waiting for the blood and placenta results. We may never know. But we have to find peace with this
and believe God had other plans for our sweet girl.


Daisy's funeral was 6 days after her loss at our local village church. I didn't really go to
services but I did pop up there during the week before Daisy's birth to pray about strength in
labour and a healthy birth.... Then Paul and I sat outside the church and took in the view of the
sea. We asked the vicar if we could have Daisy buried there as it was so personal to us, amazingly
this was to be the first baby's funeral he had done since the loss of his own little 6 mth old boy
33 yrs before, bless him for having the strength. Daisy had a perfect little coffin, with fairies
dancing among daisies painted around it. Paul and I went to see her that morning, I was so
frightened to look at her, I needn't have been, she looked so peaceful and beautiful, I'm sure
that's what carried us through the day. We kissed her goodbye, tucked in our photo and the little
things our family wanted to be with her. A St. Christopher's, an angel, a little cross and a baby
Bible. Daisy had a journey bear that came in her little coffin to guide her along the way, I
thought that was a sweet gesture.

The service was lovely, a beautiful light shone into the church and the vicar read The Stolen Chid,
by WB Yates, Aunty Lizzy played the flute so beautifully and we listened to Jimmy Cliff's 'Many
Rivers To Cross' maybe little Daisy heard this before. Daisy was laid to rest beneath a silver
berch where her daddy since hung a bird feeder and a few little Christmas decorations. We visit
Daisy there but we know she's is everywhere not just there, she is always with us.

I miss her so much, I don't understand why she had to go. When I fell pregnant I was so sure this
little baby that grew inside me was going to turn my life around, make me strong, give me a great
love and a real sense of purpose. She has done all this and more, she has made me a mother and I
can be so proud of her.

I miss you my sweet beautiful girl. Look after her dear Heavenly Father, be sure she knows mummy
and daddy love her and send to me a feather xxx

Angel Baby



By Kelly Carroll



Angel. What would it be like to know, to really know, you had your own special angel? This angel is your very own personal angel selected by you before you got here. Your angel is so beautiful and loves you more than you can even imagine. Is your angel a boy or a girl? Angels are beautiful and they are also full of power. Many have the appearance of warriors of light and goodness. Many appear beautiful and delicate, yet they are always strong and capable. They are well able to protect you in any situation. All you have to do is ask. Take a moment to imagine your angel.



Angels can be used for many good purposes and they are always available to you. They want what you want for you. All you have to do is ask. Send your angel ahead of you to your next destination, they will clear the way and make the time spent there more fun and peaceful. Is there someone new you are getting ready to meet? Ask your angel to introduce you to them before you ever meet them. Your angel can speak to their angel. When you do this, there is a magic to the new relationship that is undeniable. Ask your angel to help with business. Your angel is interested in whatever you are interested in. Angels will sweep ahead of you in that way they have, they will make the path smoother and the day more fun. Angels are creative and they will communicate with you. All you have to do is ask.



There are polls that say that 95% of Americans believe in angels. There are books filled with personal stories of people who have been helped in unusual situations by a magical someone who they know was their angel. These are the rare and special occurrences. What if you have an angel that is sitting there, since the moment you chose to come here waiting to hear from you? I heard someone say that angels feel they are unemployed; they are looking for a job to do. This girl decided she would ask all the angels that had nothing to do to come and help her, she certainly needed extra support at the time. She wrote down a list of things that she would love to see angels do, if they would…Well, if you ask her now, you will find out that yes, she very much believes in angels. And they love to do lots of things that we think we cannot. All you have to do is ask.



If you are not well, ask your angel for help and guidance. You may find yourself reading a new article that has information for you. Or you may hear a conversation that is about the exact subject that will help you feel better. You can ask inside yourself for guidance or more information on any subject. It seems like a miracle the way the coincidences will happen; just remember we are much more magical than we usually notice.



If you want to know more about something in your life, take out a piece of paper and ask your angel. Write three questions about any subject you want to know more about. Leave space after each. Then quietly ask inside your self for angelic guidance. Allow yourself to freely answer each question by just writing down what comes to you. Let go a little bit. For some people this takes a little practice. You will know that you are on the right track by feeling that the answers are just flowing. It feels good. It feels like a much better answer than what you would come up with if you were just “trying” to answer the question. Usually the answers you write will feel much more intuitive and surprisingly right. It feels like wise and loving advice. You are connecting to your intuitive mind. This is where your angel can creatively give you guidance, love and support. All you have to do is ask.

Just For A Moment

Our hands have touched, Our paths have crossed
A love is gained, A love is lost
Just for a moment I kissed the face
Of an innocent child I can't replace

Just for a moment a maternal touch
Would say the words that meant so much
A soft caress' the gentle tears
That will make those days last for years

Just for a moment I held your hand
My broken heart in your command
So much to tell you, so little time
Why were we punished, what was the crime

They took part of me when they took you away
As much as I loved you, you weren't meant to stay
I gave you a hug that for always must last
As facing the future means leaving the past

Our souls have merged, I live for you
Perhaps I'm living your live too
I will carry on, I can always stand tall
Because just for one moment, I had it all

A red red rose
for baby Rosie Lockhurst


O, my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I,
And I will luve thee still, my Dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun!
O I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

Love to Lizzy and Brett, hope our little flowers are playing happily in Heaven

The Stonen Child

Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats;
There we've hid our faery vats,
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can
understand.

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances,
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can
understand.

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can
understand.

Away with us he's going,
The solemn-eyed:
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal-chest.
For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
From a world more full of weeping than he can
understand.

Read at Daisy's funeral
