So Cate, I sit here tonight trying to work out what words I will write to you for your 4th angelversary tomorrow, and I realise that I have nothing new to say.

The words I wrote to you on your 1st, 2nd and 3rd angelversaries all apply now, as they will in 50 years time. Nothing has changed, and nothing will change.
You are not here.
Your life will never be.
I will never see you again, or hold you again.

I will always miss you with that never ending ache.
I will always wonder what if.....
I will always get that lump in my throat when I see your peers.
I will always dread this time of year and get easily stressed.
I will always feel incomplete.
I will always have some anger that you, and we, were robbed.

I will always remember you, my darling, never-to-be daughter.
I will always love you and treasure your photos, and my memories of holding you.
I will always acknowledge you.

Sweet dreams baby girl, mummy loves you.

What lovely words you've written for Cate. Will be thinking of you all tomorrow and I'm sure Cate will be having fun up in the sky playing with all the other lovely angels who left their parents too soon

Oh Paper! That is totally true...I realised the other day that its now been well over a year since Rosa's 1st angelversary....and it still seems SO raw and fresh and even thou now I have someone else little to treasure and adore...my grief for Rosa is still just as new as it was January last year!

to you!! You are an inspiration to me...as is every other mother on this board who has been robbed of her baby!

Take care and will be thinking of you and your Cate tomorrow and sending lots of angel kisses!

Thinking of you and your precious Cate today. I hope it is a very small comfort in knowing that we all understand

my friend...thinking of you today.

Your words to your little girl are so beautiful & precious - thank-you for sharing them with us. They ring so true to me as well, I have a 5th anniversary coming up in June and another one in September.

They are the hardest of days but take care of yourself and allow the feelings. I was told by a very dear friend that grief is the flip side of love. We grieve hard because we have loved and continue to love greatly.

Take care

paper. thanks for sharing that with us all

Have sent you a text as well, but just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you today. Feel free to ring me if you want a shoulder to cry on

No words, just thinking of you.

Thinking of you today Paper

Paper....

A candle is lit
Glowing just for you
And your angel baby
So precious, its true.

Think of Cate
Living in heaven above
No evil, no pain
Just full of love

She is your baby
And will always be
Waiting with God
One day you will see

So shed your tears
Let them flow true
For she is in heaven
Watching over you

Cate is so proud
To have you as her Mum
She tells our angel babies
of the good things you've done

But she is not here
And oh how I know
Of the pain you feel
Honey, let it show

Cry one thousand tears
Mourn the whole day till late
For today is just for you
And your precious little Cate.
