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.

Then she whispered oooh so quietly

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away,
we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones.
You know I hold you dear
and be glad I'm spending
Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you.
So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
Along the shore I spy a ship
As she sets out to sea;
She spreads her sails and sniffs the breeze
And slips away from me.
I watch her fading image shrink,
As she moves on and on,
Until at last she’s but a speck,
Then someone says, “She’s gone.”
Gone where? Gone only from our sight
And from our farewell cries;
That ship will somewhere reappear
To other eager eyes.
Beyond the dim horizon’s rim
Resound the welcome drums,
And while we’re crying, “There she goes!”
They’re shouting, “Here she comes!”
We’re built to cruise for but a while
Upon this trackless sea
Until one day we sail away
Into infinity.
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,

Have A Good Weekend Everyone
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Ward working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the BEST
If we could have a lifetime wish
And one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
Hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
And neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
And precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I lose my grip on reality
on each day that passes by;
I haven't a clue where I'm headed
oh how this pain makes me cry
My world is changing so quickly
and I'm losing everything in sight;
Why can't things go back to how it used to be
so that everything would be alright
Why do we have to lose the ones we love
it's just not fair, it's just not right;
Oh why God do you take them
can't you see, I'm filled with fright
The days come and go
but the pain, it stays forever;
It never really leaves your soul
when you know, you'll no longer be together
Your heart, it's ripped wide open
and even though you try to hide;
It will break and bleed continuously
and feel as though it will never subside
I can take this pain no longer
oh how it's killing me inside;
What suffering we have to go through
when the ones we love, have died
Love Always ~~ Jane...x♥x
♥★I would just like to thankyou for all your support over the last 5 months, it really means the world to me, due to circumstances I am now taking a big step back from gonetoosoon, I apologise now as there wont be many candles from myself over the coming months, I will be on over christmas to talk to your angels and I will be back for Baileys special days, but for the forseable future please bear with me, your angel will always be thought about daily and I feel so terrible for letting you down, but this is something we need to do as a family,
I sincerly hope you understand xx
Much love to you now and always ♥★
"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,
The short 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.
A poem written by mellanie campbell
for all the little angels x
An Angel's Kiss
We never stop to measure
anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.
So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.
About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
Was your Angel's Kiss.
Hello beautiful xxxxx
You are a Precious Child
Created out of love,
a blessing from above.
We've adored you from the start,
and your little footprints touched our heart.
A single teardrop represents the millions We have cried.
Our life never the same since you died.
We wish you could have stayed longer with us,
We'd watch you grow into all you could be.
Although we are apart,
You are always in our heart.
We dream of a joyful time when
we will be reunited once again.
Thoughts of you make us smile.
You will always be Our Forever Child
