Help needed writing card

A friend of my sister has just delivered a healthy full term twin after they lost the other one at approx 8 weeks gestation. I suggested to my sis that she get another card just to remember the lost twin. She has got a little card that she will slip in with the main congratulatory one. There is only room for one line or so, what should she write? Thanks.

I have no experience of this - but thought

Our love and congratulations on the safe arrival of -, with a little sadness that this might have been a double celebration (???)

Good one, thanks. Any one else and also, this is the right thing to do isn't it?

I think this is a lovely idea. I lost a little boy 7 years at 20 weeks, because it was so far into my pregnancy everyone knew. Although he wasn't a twin nobody (other than me) ever mentions him and it makes me a little sad sometimes. I know people don't know what to say but it's like he never existed to anyone else and I like to talk about him.

I don't think it will matter what you say in the card, I think the fact you've thought of the little one will be a great comfort to the parents.

I think that anything your sister says, if it's from the heart, will mean a great deal. Doesn't need to be 'perfect' x
