Hey bubbly girl... Just lying here thinking just how much I love and miss you... Bubby... Honey says woof woof.. He knows when you are here.. I promise not long now and I will see you soon... Love you .. Darro
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.

Hi baby girl...I really don't know what to say today. It's like ground hog day again and again and again. The absolute pain I feel at your loss is indescribable. I still can't process or understand why you had to go through so much and why mummy and Daddy had to lose you. I try to keep going and keep a happy face but to be honest it's so exhausting. All my hopes and dreams for my life vanished the day you had to leave us and, I, just like your dad, am just treading water until the day we can be together again. I love you and miss you so so much. Mum Xxxx

Beautiful little Butter-y girl... yes, it has been 14 very long years .. and this horrible anniversary each year only brings back the bad memories of 'that day' so many years ago. It remains as clear as a memory can be..I sit in the darkness of what this life has become thinking it should have been me and absolutely not you.. never you... as I am growing older I can only draw comfort from the fact we will be together soon.. the days ahead are fewer than the days behind and with Honey now with you.. the world is just that ever more lonelier.. Tahlia.. there will never ever be enough words to express how much you are missed and especially at this time of the year.. it is even so much more harder as everywhere I look I see my little girl in the eyes of other children... with all my love my beautiful daughter.. your Darro misses you and Honey so much... xxx

Another year passes, making the distance of memory faint.. the sounds of laughter echo whilst the smells of things still familiar - ache.. Today, to picture a 16 year old Tahlia is the only thing that remains.. when imagination is all that is left to replace a life that we have lost... and.. in turn.. our own lives that we have also lost for things we have never had the joy and magic of experiencing as Parents. This year, you and Honey are together . .I can only imagine where.. I still hope and want more than ever to join you both so as to end this never ending dark ache.. time has fashioned me in to someone I don't recognise anymore.. all I have is a memory that remains of being Tahlia's Darro.. Happy birthday butter-y girl.. I hope and believe that you and Honey (woof woof) are together and one day, we will also all be together once more... missing you today as the memories of your smiles come flooding back... the ahead time is now certainly less and that is comfort and my hope .. not long now .. makes the days go fast.. ... my love always.. Happy Birthday... your Darro....

My Prayer
December 18, 2012
by Jo ..
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.
