Inghean Donalda Burnett
Wahoo, we are pregnant again, a wee bit of a shock as Savannah was only born three months ago, but
won't it be great to have two babies so close in age, there will only be just over a year between
them.
I had such an uneventful pregnancy, apart from the horrible nine months of morning sickness. At the
twenty week scan we found out we were having another girl, how Savannah would love having a wee
sister to dress up and play with, and poor Dexter, how would he cope with two sisters hormones! We
already had a feeling we were having a girl so we were well pleased! We had already chosen names we
chose Inghean, an Irish Gaelic name meaning image of her mother and Donalda as a tribute to my late
dad, Donald, this again was done in the old Scottish way. Well Savannah's 1st birthday came on the
27/09/06, and we were wiping our brows that our wee bundle didn't come on Savannah's day!
Well two weeks later on the 11th of October 2006 I went for my bath and when I got out I thought
that Briagh our dog had brought something horrid in my bedroom, but how wrong was I! My waters
suddenly went, so I quickly got dressed and called my mum and rang William to get home from work, we
thought we would have hours before Inghean would be born, so when William got home he jumped in the
bath very quickly, while I had a cup of tea, I suddenly got my first contraction, then my second, so
William hurried up and we left for Raigmore, I was getting contractions every few minute, so William
decided to drive fast we managed to get to the Kessock bridge a couple of miles from the hospital,
when I scream the baby is coming, to phone the ambulance, William did without haste!!!!! Well they
took just five minutes to get to us, and I was told to sit put and keep it in, with that I screamed
at William the baby is coming, and Inghean was born with a rush in her daddy's arms! Our perfect
beautiful baby daughter was born at 13.30 on Wednesday the 11th of October 2006, weighing 7lbs 3oz.
We were taken to the labour ward were Inghean and I were given a clean bill of health, I knew
Inghean would be taken for a test at the SCBU unit the next day to check for car seat syndrome
because Savannah had it at ten day old and onwards. Well the next day came and we had bounty photos
taken and we were then taken to SCBU, where after an hour of worry I was told Inghean was at a very
low risk of car seat syndrome, and we could go home! Wow home, that sounded great! Well we all got
home and everything was perfect, it was tiring and hard work, but so very enjoyable being a mum of
three perfect children!
A few days later I was detected to have postpartum hemorrhaging, I was taken to Raigmore again but I
decided to leave as I had suddenly stopped bleeding, anyway I just wanted to be at home. Well
everything was going so very well and Halloween was quickly here, well I dress Dexter as a pirate,
Savannah as a big pumpkin and Inghean as a little pumpkin, all to take masses of photos to send to
Inghean's soon to be God father. Well after I had taken all the photos William took Dexter and
Savannah out guising, and Inghean soon fell asleep in her pram. When they all came back Inghean was
still fast asleep, so William and I put Dexter and Savannah to bed and settled down for the night,
well Inghean woke up and wanted fed, so I fed her but she was so sleepy, I thought it was just
because of the long feeds she had been taken. Well we went to bed quite late after giving Inghean
another feed, Inghean was put down in her wee cradle next to our bed. Well Inghean slept long and
woke up very late she slept for nearly 6 hours, she had never done this, she fed but started to cry
a wee bit when I went to lay her down afterwards, so I laid down with Inghean beside me in bed. She
was soon asleep, I closed my eyes only for a second or two and I just opened them and turned to
William and said 'look Inghean is still asleep' I went to lift her, but she was limp, I screamed,
William jumped he grabbed Inghean and we ran for the phone down stairs, I rang 999, I told William
to get the phone as I would do the CPR, I tried and tried the local doc ran in my house, he tried I
tried the ambulance came they tried and then rushed her to the ambulance, I ran in my pj's. I
thought Inghean was going to be OK as she was in proper care and there was a heart beat, but why did
it keep going to zero? We made the 44 miles to Raigmore in under half an hour thanks to the police
stopping the traffic. Inghean was rushed into A&E and I was taken to a side room, a few minutes
later a doc came in and said the most horrible words any mother could hear, 'I am sorry your
daughter is dead'. What happened next I don't know I felt empty and cold and as if I was dreaming.
The date was Wednesday the 1st of November 2006. A police officer came and got a statement with a
doctor, and a liaison officer came. William and I went to see Inghean, but it wasn't real, my
Inghean couldn't be dead, she was just sleeping, but why was she going cold. The next day William
and I were taken separately with specially trained police officer for statements, they took 6 hours
for William's and a staggering 8 hours for mine, we still had our liaison officer, as Inghean had to
have a post mortem. We got the results of the pm through, Inghean had died of Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome, she fell asleep in my arms. We had a beautiful and very emotional funeral for Inghean on
the 16th of November 2006. It is coming up to a year since Inghean fell asleep, but the pain and
longing is not going away, it is all still so unreal, some days I find myself crying non stop
praying that I wake up and Inghean is still here with us. Dexter asks about his sister every day,
Savannah is still to young to understand, William and I will never get over our precious daughter.
Inghean is eternally laid to rest with her dear Popa, her names sake, I feel safe knowing my dad is
always looking after Inghean and my Grannie and Popa are there beside them always and forever.
An Angel in the book of life
Wrote down my baby's birth
Then she whispered oooh so quietly
To beautiful for earth.

MUMMYS RAINBOW
I am a little rainbow
Crossing over the sun
I appear when it rains
And my rainbow is fun
I used to be a baby
Rocking on mummy's knee
I loved that time of day
As my mummy she loved me
I loved the way she kissed me
And played with my little curls
My mummy worshiped me
In her mummy's world
One day i got sick
And mummy did her best
She gave me medican
Doctors did some test
But i was so tired
I just wanted some sleep
To tired for my treats
Too tired for hide and seek
Mummy tucked me gently
Into bed late that night
Jesus came to get me
Before the morning light
Now I'm a little rainbow
My colours are full of love
And when my rainbow shines
Its to send my mummy all my love
I'm over the sky right now
And i can see my mummy there
Shes blowing me kisses
To show me she cares
And I'm glowing brightly
Love echoes from its curve
Right down to earth
sending all my love

everyone cuddles my mummy,
my daddy don't know what to do!!
If i could id kiss him,
and say,'' hey i look like you,''
i love my daddy so dearly,
remember he's a parent too.
His mates think he's still one of the lads,
great,, good fun ,still him,
sending their love to my mummy,
he wink at them and grin.
But in his soul he's dying,
a missing piece is gone,
what about my daddy?
He didn't do anything wrong!
Don't treat him like a leper,
or without the softer touch.
Remember to treat them both the same,
for he loved me just as much.

"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
for the life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
My darling Inghean I am missing you so much today as I know you would be having lots of fun opening all your wonderful presents.

Merry Christmas my beautiful Gaelic Princess. xxxxxxxxx
This Tribute Is For This Weekend A Little Longer Than Usual. Sorry It's So Early I've Got A Busy Weekend Ahead
________________________________________________
I will light my candles as usual on Sunday
Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.
Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place
No one will ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day God took you home.
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever
Angela (Christopher-John Rowe) Mum
One Christmas Wish
One Christmas Wish xx
I guess if I could make just one Christmas wish,
I would wish I could see you.
To hold, to snuggle, to just kiss,
This is something I'd really like to do.
My arms ache for my baby Girl,
Who will always remain just that.
To never grow and experience joy,
I wish I knew where you were at.
Why is it God thought he needed you more than I,
And why is it wishes can't come true?
I am just an aching heart who can only ask why,
And a mother who can't let go of you.
Please God grant me this one Christmas wish,
If just for a minute, an hour or a day.
She is someone I really need & miss,
What more must I say?
Merry Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS XXXXXX

My Christmas Wish For You
My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun
I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer
May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought
May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold
I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too.
