This memorial website was created in the memory of our precious daughter, Tahlia, who was born on June 25, 2007 and passed away on December 17, 2009. She touched the lives of all those who knew her and is missed more than words can say. She was the happiest, most beautiful and bravest little girl in the world. We will always love her and will remember her forever.
My Butterfly
I long to feel the soft weight of you to welcome you home,
with kisses on silky round cheeks.
Instead, my arms ache with the weight of your absence,
the empty places that were meant for you to grow into.
My love for you will last an eternity.
My hopes and dreams now carried
on the fragile wings of each butterfly passing
compelling me to pause, to savour each moment,
each flutter in my heart -
your wings.
Tributes
Leave a tributeNot a day goes by without thinking of you my beautiful girl. I love you so so much and on this very special day I hope you know how much you were wanted and loved. Happy birthday my beautiful Angel. Xxxx
Another kiss, another smile,
One more chance to watch you sleep
Or just to sit awhile.
Ours to keep, or so we thought.
We found we were mistaken.
Like most of those who've lost a child,
We felt we were forsaken.
When I watch your life play through my mind,
I can't believe I failed to see
The silhouette of angel wings
There to set you free.
I no longer feel so angry.
You were Spirit's all along, you see.
Our time will come to be with you
To share eternity.

For now, I look back over these memorial adds and I can see that no matter the time that passes,. one thing never changes and that is the love that Mummy and Darro have for you. If anything, we love you more now and with each passing moment of time - some more still.
Thank you. I cannot imagine my life have ever having been without you touching it and remaining the most important person in it still - even today.
A smile tonight knowing that my little girl.. our little girl... has become white light and sits with her fairy wings looking down on us, with her family with her there alongside, keeping us safe until the time that we are all together again.
Love you thiiiiis <------------------------> much and then some still ...always Darro and Woof (who knows when you are near....) xxxx

another year...and another day passes where I can only hold you close in my memory... but you never leave my heart. You always come with me during my day and in those few moments of sadness when i reflect in on a dark night, I reach out and cling to you.
Today is a good day.. no more pain.. no more sadness... your memory and the spirit presence you give in just being with me, is strong enough to carry me through.. .. I know you are there. I know you have always been there.... I will hold you soon.... I love you now and for always and Woof says he does too - but - as you talk to him when I am asleep - I guess you already know.... love you for eternity and beyond - your Darro.... xxxxxx
Also, please look after mummy.. she needs some extra hugs every now and again.. help her find peace .. help her to ease the pain and turn it in to a warm memory knowing she will also hold you again once more.. she is a good mummy and she loves you very much - as you know... x

I hope those angel wings are celebrating in a place where there is no pain and now Nan is with you then I am at peace FINALLY knowing this... love always.... your Darro & Honey.. We'll see you again soon... xxxxx

My Prayer
My life is upside down, loving God. The order of the world is out of place and I can’t do anything to right it again. Oh, Lord, you know the pain in my heart at all times and you know why: my child has died. How can it be that my beloved child is gone? The child I cared for with such concern in every illness, the one I held close to my heart and promised to take care of for a lifetime, is not here for me to care for anymore. It hurts deeply that I wasn’t able to protect this child I love with my whole being from a death that seems so unfair.
Let me feel calm. Let me breathe deeply. Be with me in this kind of deep and transformative pain. I now carry this darkness with me on my back and in my heart, always. It is my burden and my companion.
Lord, there is not a single minute of my life when this loss is not etched so keenly into my brain and heart, whether it is in the middle of a busy day or in those choking moments of grief in the solitary dark of night. Let me be grateful for every minute we had together. Let me treasure those memories and find joy in them.
Help me to deal with people better. They don’t know what to say. They stumble and look away when they see me. They pretend nothing has happened. I know they “don’t want to remind me” but they don’t understand it is with me always, always.
Teach me, Lord. Tell me what you want me to do with this. What am I supposed to learn from this kind of pain? What are you calling me to do?
Open my battered heart and lead me to comfort and peace. Only you can give me the peace I need. Let me feel your presence in my life.
