prayers, candles, chants, hand holding for Aillidh.....love is a strong force and can make miracles.

[psychomum5]

In Expats own words last night

"Keep it coming, folks. She NEEDS this miracle*.

There is indeed power in our prayers and hopes and love.....and especially the amount of us lighting candles and taking time to just think about them. On my own part, pretty much everyone I know knows about our prayers for Aillidh....so many people thinking of her.

I pray today for continued strength for Expat, continued love for Aillidh, and continued hugs for Giraffes, who is there with them walking this tightrope and being a true angel.

I am stunned by the latest update.I was so sure that Aillidh was strong enough to carry on the fight,but sadly it seems its not to be,i will still be hoping for that miracle,but if we cant have that,i Hope that she will be free from any pain and know that so many people have been touched by her bravery.She has made a difference to so many people from all over the world.God bless you Aillidh and Expat and family,know that we are all with you in your darkest hours.My heart is so heavy just now

My heart is breaking for you Aillidh, if it is time for you to go, then go with all our blessings of love and admiration. Forgive me if I keep praying for a miracle, I hope with all my heart you can stay.

Expat and family. I cannot imagine the unbearable turmoil you are suffering tonight, I offer you prayers of strength and courage and peace.

Can I also say to all the mumsnetters around the world tonight, the mums that have sadly walked this path, the mums that are walking this path with poorly children and the rest of us that have but prayers and love to offer.

You are all an inspiration.

God Bless xx

My thoughts stay with Aillidh and her family at this terrible time. You are all so brave - I wish you didn't have to be. xxx

God be with you Aillidh, come what may.

I am still praying for a miracle to bless Aillidh and her family.

My own 5yo Dd is asleep next to me ~ snoring! and I thank the Lord for both of my Dc's good health...I wish for good health for all Gods little children.xx

Oh no. That poor dear girl.

I am so, so sorry to hear this expat. Thinking of you and your family.

I don't want to go to bed for fear of what the morning may bring. I'm not religious, and i'm struggling to understand how & why this would happen to someone so young, but peace be with you Aillidh, in whatever journey you now take. Much love to all the expats. Its just so unfair

Thoughts and prayers with Aillidh and her family tonight. Peace and blessings to all those who care for Aillidh and her family.

Little Ailidh, I will say goodnight but I hope you will be with us in the morning. You are a hero and inspiration to me. You will be my first thought on waking. I hope you know how loved you are x

I too am shocked by the latest update. I truly believed she would beat this. What I pray for now is strength for her family. It sounds like their faith is so strong that it will truly carry them through whatever tonight and the next days hold. Still praying for a miracle for you, A. xxx

Oh expat, I have no words. Still hoping and willing the unbelievable to happen.

Mums around the world are holding your beautiful little girl's hand with you. xxxx

I am lighting my candle now and offering my prayers and thoughts to you all and to your precious Aillidh

That the world was blessed with Aillidh and that she touched so many lives is truly a miracle in itself. Sleep peacefully precious angel, whatever the night should bring.

Sending much love and strength to the Expat family, Giraffes and Psycho. You are all in my thoughts xx

So so heartbreaking to read the latest update. I have wise words , I just wish you peace and love. Your beautiful little girl is a true inspiration to so many people all over the world. Holding you all in my thoughts xxxx

mrssmooth - this passage from the Psalms has been mentioned quite a lot on these threads 'weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning'. Never has it seemed closer to me. If tonight is the end of Ailidh's life then we will all grieve desperately for the years she won't have and for her family's grief. Her mother's breaking heart is so close to our hearts. But - Aillidh's parents trust God with their daughter. If you wake up in the morning and she's gone to be with Him then she'll be home safe and nothing will ever harm her again and she will be reunited with her mother one day. Nothing that is with God can be lost. I believe with all my heart in a loving and merciful God and I can't tell you why this is happening like this. All I know is that God is love and that love has been with Aillidh from the moment she came in to the world and that love will be with her always.

That's a lovely post. Exactly what I want to say too. I have been sitting here crying and praying for a miracle and wishing the very best for Aillidh and like you hoping for a miracle. I feel as much love for Aillidh and her family as I do for my own family. I have only been following her story for a week or so and haven't been able to think about anyone else.

My heart is breaking too.

Aillidh, I wish you a peaceful and restful night and I hope you find the strength to fight on. You are so so brave and so so beautiful. Praying with all my heart for a miracle for you and your family. Goodnight for now and I will be thinking of you through the night and praying and hoping too. All my love to you, your mummy, daddy, brother, sister, family and friends. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My lovely dad always used to say that where there is life there is hope, so I am still hoping and thinking of you all xxx

We cherish you Aillidh. Expat I am sending much love to you and yours, I am thinking of you all at this terrible time.

Northernlurker that was a beautiful post. I was dreading going to bed but you've put things in perspective for me x

I'm signing off for the night now. Just checked on my own 9 month old daughter, gave her an extra kiss and told her I loved her so much. Cannot even begin to understand what you are going through.
Wishing you all a peaceful night xxx

Millymae is right, another one still hoping here.
