We married when I was 16 years old and pregnant. Our baby was due on April 18th 1968. I went into labour on May 7th, in my 42nd week.

Zak and Rhianna

Marie's twins were born prematurely at 18 weeks in 2001. One baby lived for 1 hour, 40 mins; the other for 1 hour 36 mins.

It was at Christmas time 1985 that I first suspected I was pregnant. Until then I never even wanted children. I don't know how knew I was pregnant, but I just did.

Beautiful One

Our Eternal Love

9th February 2000, this Wednesday was a day I had been thinking about for the past year; in particular the past few months.

Tracy's son Alexander was stillborn.. She writes:

I knocked at the door of my life.

It would not open.

I wanted to see you.

I wanted you to know that I have been aware of you;

That I have loved you;

A Lament for Charlie George

May 2002

Dear Mummy, 

Don't worry, I'm just sleeping, 

And dreaming a wonderful dream, 

Of picking daisies and chasing some fairies 

We never got to hold you close not even for a while,

We never got to hear you laugh or see your lovely smile, 

We never got to hold your hand and take you for a walk,
