Aged 5 1/2 months
Sophie was born on the 2nd june 2002 at 7:21pm weighing 7lb 11oz. Our beautiful baby girl our lives
were complete we had one of each. Well everything was great developing well not putting on loads of
weight but gaining little bits here and there so we were to and fro the doctors with her and doctors
sent us back saying everything was fine. We moved house when Sophie was 4 months old a pretty
stressfull time moving with a newborn baby but we managed and we got settled into our new house.
Sophie was a lot more settled and This one particular week she had put on a whole lb in weight
things were looking up.
The night before sophie died she was laying on the floor and she was trying to crawl to get a
piece of paper but didnt succeed so she shouted dad for the first time he was so proud and went to
bed really happy not knowing that was going to be the last time he would see her alive and well. I
gave her her last bottle and settled her into bed and waited for her to doze off. Then went and
tucked myself into bed. I woke up around 7am and thought that she hadnt woken up for a feed so i
looked over to sophie and she moved so i thought id make the most of it and go back to sleep while
the kids were still asleep then at 9am i woke up with a jump something startled me looked over to
sophie and something didnt seem right she was cold and very lifeless. The ambulance arrived and
they took her straight to hospital, i stayed behind and and followed shortly behind them as i had to
make arrangements for someone to have our son. Soon as we got to the hospital we were taken straight
to the relatives room and thats when i knew thats it our babys gone. After interviews with the
police we was allowed to hold our baby it didnt seem real we just kept staring at her watching for
that big deep breath but it never happened and deep down i think i knew that but there was always a
hope. We sed our goodbyes and headed home to make fonecalls and let everyone else know.The post
mortem occurred 2 days later the results were natural causes (S.I.D.S). Her funeral was 2 weeks
later.
6 years on and the pain still isnt any more bearable. We have since then gone on and had 2
more children both boys so now sophie is a big sister to her lil brother sean who is now 4 years old
and adam who is 2 years old. As soon as they are old enough they will be told all about there big
sister and how precious and full of smiles she was to everyone.
She may not be in our lives anymore but she will always be in our hearts forever and always miss you

A Birthday In Heaven - Author Unknown
I heard you crying yesterday,
And felt your heart-sent love.
So I’m sending you this message
Now, from Heaven up above.
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).
Balloons will fill the streets for me,
They float up through the clouds.
And we have lots of friends up here
That make us laugh out loud.
There is a birthday carousel,
Jewelled 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 the fool
And sleep in Angel’s wings.
But we don’t blow out our candles here
Instead, they light the skies.
With love from your little Angel xxx
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.
A poem written by mellanie campbell
for all the GTS little angels x
From a Mummy who walks the same path as you....

We Knew Little That Morning
We knew little that morning, that the Angels were calling your name,
In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,the day you were called home.
You left us peaceful memories,your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you're always at our side,
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same
But as we are called one by one, the chain will link again.
Love you loads babygirl still missing you like crazy we will be together again soon.
