How to get the best out of this blog...

All blogs post are more recent first, if you want to read about Ellie's Journey I'd suggest starting from the first post back in September 2011 (October Posts) and read on Chronologically from there. It will make more sense and you'll get to meet the little girl who gave my life purpose.
Thank You for reading - every new reader shows that she has met another person and in her short life made such an impact. x

Easing the pain

I probably wont be posting on Saturday - because Dan and I have chosen to go away for the weekend and 'enjoy' my birthday. I am acutely aware that many kind and thoughtful people will be remembering Ellie on Saturday and for that we are both very honoured and grateful. We will of course think of her, like we do everyday but we may not just not want to remember the sad events of that day and what it took from us.

Life is a funny thing - it's tested me beyond all comprehension this last twelve months. But the one thing I have tried to do whilst grieving for our losses is to be thankful for what we had, the opportunity we were given to be parents, to be a part of Ellie's life, no matter how unfairly cut short.
It is with this that I would like to share some news, easing us into this tough emotional weekend will be the knowledge that a new little baby is growing inside of me. Ellie's baby sister. She is due on the 5th of September - a day after Ellie's birthday. This baby girl is safe from harm as we have been fortunate to have extensive genetic testing to show that she does not carry the genes that took Ellie away from us.

Maybe someone has a plan for us afterall.
