In memory of our lovely Aillidh

[expatinscotland]

At 11.25 last night, our beautiful, 9-year-old daughter died of complications from treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia, she went into respiratory failure after contracting human metapneumo virus following conditioning chemotherapy for stem cell transplant.

For many days, she lingered on a ventilator. But last night, she developed a pneumothorax and rapidly deteriorated.

She died within seconds of the ventilator being taken off.

I can't believe she's gone, or how broken her long body looked.

I am so very sorry for your terrible loss.

Oh expat.

I'm so so sorry. She is with Jesus now.

We will light a candle to remember her tomorrow.

^May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May he make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
May he lift his countenance towards you and give you peace.^

Expat, I'm sorry that no words I can offer will ever be of any comfort.

I'm sorry that my tears are as nothing compared to what you've lost.

And I'm so, so sorry that your beautiful, wonderful daughter is gone from your life, for now.

So sorry expat, your love for Aillidh radiates from your posts. God bless your little one x

So sorry expat

I miss her so much.

I am so sorry. What a beautiful, brave girl. My heart goes out to you Expat xx

So, so sorry for your beautiful daughter. Sending you love and strength Expat.

So very sorry. Words seem pitifully inadequate.

so sorry.do take any help and support offered
it's so v wrong as a parent to bury your child
just breathe, and take it minute by minute

oh expat I am so very sorry. I have read your threads for your daughter and was praying for a miracle.

Thinking of your family.

Of course you miss her.

Beautiful poem expat, I cannot begin to imagine your loss.

Mia as always, beautifully written, and full of love.

So very very sorry.
I lost my mum to AML last year.
I know that nothing compares to the loss of a child, but I will do all I can to fight this evil disease for the rest of my life, and when I am doing so I will think not only of my lovely mum, but also of your Ailidh and her beautiful smile.
I send you all my love and hope you find the strength to get through the times yet to come.
Your daughter will continue to shine brightly through you and her siblings.
Much much love. X x x

Oh Expat, my heart is breaking for you. I can offer no other words or sentiments as I can't find the right ones.

Thinking of you and sending you love, light and strength xx

So very sorry xxxxxx

I've just seen this. Love and prayers for your family until you meet her again xxxx

Sleep well little one xxx

Expat I googled her picture, I shouldn't have done. She had deep auburn hair like my DD1. I just can't imagine your pain. So beautiful!

Oh Expat.

What a short life your Aillidh lived. But she touched so, so many hearts. She was a living miracle.

You were blessed, so blessed to have her in your life. But she was blessed tenfold to have a mamma like you and a family like yours.

So many children live very long lives without knowing an ounce of the love that you gave Aillidh.

May she rest in peace and may you live in peace xxx

So sorry expat. x

So sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful sunny child - it is so unfair. Hoping that happy memories of Aillidh when she was well will eventually bring you some comfort.

Expat, there are no words, so terribly sorry for you and your family, thinking of you all. Xxx
