So I'll make your garden bed right next to the shed and plant a bulb or too, and tell you a story of how mummy and daddy really love you .yes that's what can I do.
goodbye but not forgotten, as I write a word or two, putting pen to paper as I send a letter to you. A thousand little kisses all rolled into one, floating up to heaven it's so sad that you are gone.
Ever so tiny so loved by us all. Your beauty amazed us as we gazed upon you.
Gentle cuddles as we said our goodbyes. thinking of you always gazing up to the skies.
