Now I am one. The next thread for Beatrice.

[cupofteaplease]

So, Beatrice is now 13 months old and developing slowly but surely. She brings joy to everyone she meets and makes my heart swell with pride.

At the moment, she is very poorly in hospital. She appears to have overcome pneumonia, but the remaining secretions are causing her huge problems. Her airway blocks at random with a mucous plug and she has had to be revived with a bag and mask 3 times in the past 24 hours. Naturally, I am in a permanent state of anxiety at the moment. I just want Beatrice home again. We have so many more memories to make.

Please spare a thought for Beatrice's sisters if you can- they too are poorly with a sickness bug and all they really want right now is cuddles with Mummy.

Life is tough right now, but nobody said it would be easy...

I feel kicked in the stomach at this news - cup, your strength will now need to find a way to keep going without Bea.
Your love for her was evident from before she was born, throughout all her problems and when she was well.
And HOW she confounded everybody's expectations for her - what a little star she was and always will be. May you and your family find peace in the love she was given and gave and in knowning that she made you all (and us all) grow in some many ways.
Thank you for sharing Beatrices's life with us.

As ever, love and strength.
PD xx.

I have quietly followed your threads. You looked after her so well. I am so sorry her time was too short. Rest in peace.

I miss her so much. I'm moving over to here now. Back where it all started.

So, so sorry, cup.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Bea. X

I'm so, so sorry. I've followed your journey from the beginning - mostly lurking - you are an amazing mum and Bea was so lucky to have you, no one could have done more. Your darling daughter is at peace now - not that brings any comfort I know. Rest in peace, Bea x

oh - I met you very briefly at the London meetup - and got distracted.... You had so many hopes and plans as a family, and must now face going on without your darling Bea. There is nothing I can say that can help now, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. She was so beautiful and must have given you so much joy in her short time here. xxxxx

You and your darling Bea touched my heart.

I will hold her in the light and hold you all in my prayers.

I've never posted before, but have followed the journey of your beautiful little girl. Deepest sorrow for your loss. X

Thinking of you at this very sad time x x

Cup I've just come back from being away and checked in to see your news. You won't remember but I was on your antenatal thread so have followed Bea's journey since she was born. I am so sorry that she is no longer here to show us all how to fight. In her short time on this earth both she and you have shown so many people what love can do. I am as ever in awe if your strength and send every bit of love to you and the tea set. I'm so very sorry for your loss, your littlest girl touched hearts of so many around the world please rest assured she will not be forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cup I am so sorry.

I have no words to say, they seem inadequate.

Thinking of you all.

Cup, I have just read about Bea, I am so very sorry. I was luckily enough to meet you and your beautiful family & I feel so honoured that I got to to meet gorgous Bea. There is another angel in the sky tonight - RIP Bea - loads and loads of love Sarah & Izzy xxxxxx

I wish I had words of comfort... you are in my heart now and always.

I'm so, so sorry :(
I don't think I've posted on one of your threads before, but I've 'watched' every one and checking on Bea's progess has been a little daily ritual I've had over the last 13 months. It's been a roller coaster of a ride; she's brought so much joy and hope to so many people.
And you've been so amazing throughout, so persistent and so dignified about all the ups and downs.
As a mum to three girls, your family has been in my thoughts often and i wish you the love and strength you are going to need to face life without Bea.

so sorry to hear the news.

may God take care of you too.. (((hugs))) and prayers.

So sorry Cup. Terrible news.

You were so blessed to have had her, and she was so blessed to have you.

Now that her life has been complete, I hope you are able to take strength from the good memories you worked hard to make together.

Thinking of you.
