My love is your Love

Today brings us the sad news that Whitney Houston has died now I'm not going to harp on about her life or it's tragic downward spiral you'll read enough of that in every paper! For me the loss of anyone so young, someone in so much pain that they can no longer put their child or their life first is devastating and tragic no matter who they are.

All I want to do is share why it personally means something to me and why I will always remember her

My love is your love was our first dance at our wedding so thank you Miss Houston and may you rest in peace.


Whitney Elizabeth Houston 1963-2012

Happy Birthday My Angel

Today would have been the 21st birthday of my first born daughter, Naomi Elizabeth Tamar, my first daughter after 2 boys, my precious little bundle who died at just 3 weeks old from Sudden infant death syndrome, my whole world turned upside down but I don't want to talk about that today, today I just want to celebrate her birthday. People around me rarely mention her,(except one dear friend who I thank so much for remembering, if you read this it means the world to me) I suppose for fear of upsetting me but sometimes it upsets that they don't it's almost like she didn't exist but she did and there's not a day when she doesn't cross my mind, I've had 4 more daughters since losing Naomi and I have watched them grow and reach milestones and counted everyday day with them as a blessing ( even with the teenage tantrums!) and I've often wondered what she would have been like and I shed tears often but today on what would be a big milestone I just want to remember and celebrate her birth 21 years ago today though the tears happen less often she will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.

And anyone who does know someone who has lost a child do talk to them about their child the chances are they might cry but the chances also are that they will be happy that you remember them.
