Dear Tiffany,
If Heaven had a mailbox, it wouldn't fill what I would want to write to you.
I put on a brave face when inside i am not the person I was.
While expecting you, I had everything planned for you, such as your 10th, 13th, 16th, 18th and 21st Birthdays. I see your little friends all now, young women and mums, going on holiday and having family days together. We never had a Christmas out Hospital. The 1 thing I learned from your sweetheart was "NOT TO GIVE UP AND KEEP FIGHTING" If I did not have you, and all the op's you went through and the other pain you went through, gave me hope and strength to get me moving, wipe my tears and continue going for my radiotherapy. I was giving up on day 9 of 30 sessions, I left the house and said it was going to be my last one i could not handle it? It was like i had a little angel on my shoulder telling me to keep going, but what kept me going was YOU, I finally celebrated on my last session No30, I went home and slept for 18 hours again. It was a long road, when you're on your own, and it hurts when your dreams are torn apart and every new thing seems to bring me down, so i try to find peace of mind, and that peace of mind is you. I visit you, and a blanket of peace and tranquillity comes over me. As i sit and talk to you, i don't think anyone even bothers if they see me, as I am sure they have or do the same. I have never know a little girl your age, have so many friends, everyone who met you never forgets you, and it's always your smile they talk about, the smile that you had for anyone. I loved walking into your hospital room, and as soon as you saw me your who face would light up. That smile was forever in my mind. It's so hard, i can't even describe how much i miss you and how my heart aches with the love I have there for you. You came into this world fighting for life, and you gave a fight leaving it. I just can't imagine how scared you were princess, and that is something i am going to need an answer to.
I know every parent thinks they had the best child, but no one will ever say you were a sad child, you were far from that. We will be together one day, why does LOVE hurt so much, and also make you HAPPY? No parent should have to arrange their daughter or son's funeral. This time next Thursday was the day we laid you to rest. You're a much loved cousin, Niece, and granddaughter. YOU WERE LOVED SO MUCH . SWEETHEART I WON'T EVER FORGET YOU. ALL MY LOVE AND HUGS I WISH I COULD BE GIVING YOU. LOVE MUMMY XXXX
