Eden's Story
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found out I was pregnant with my third baby on my 25th birthday, what a lovely birthday present!
We already had a boy of 9 and a girl of 4 and were eagerly anticipating our new arrival after
several miscarriages. The pregnancy in itself was problematic due to my existing kidney problems.
I was admitted at 32 weeks with excruciating pain, I was scanned and checked and we found that we
were expecting another beautiful girl, all was well and I was sent home again. At 33 weeks my
membranes ruptured, however, I didn't realise this until two days later ( both my previous
pregnancies had to be induced at 42 weeks, with manual membrane ruptures) I called our midwife who
confirmed I was leaking liquor and had me admitted to the local maternity unit.
Once I got there, I was put on Augmentin and was told that as the unit had just opened there were no
provisions made for a 33 week baby in their SCBU unit as it was severly understaffed so I was sent
to a maternity hospital 60 miles away. Once there, my husband was sent upstairs to the fathers
accomodation, I wasn't given anymore Augmentin. Later on the day I was walking in the ward, feeling
very sore and uncomfortable, my husband wasn't allowed to stay with me. The staff nurse gave me
medication to help me sleep.
I woke up at 5.45am in a lot of pain, the baby was moving vigorously, I buzzed for the nurse, she
tried to hear the baby's heartbeat then I felt a huge rush of liquid, I assumed it was the waters
breaking but instead I was haemmoraging profusely. They alerted my husband and I was rushed
downstairs in the bed, the next part is all a bit hazy but there was a lot of needles inserted for
blood transfusions etc... The Doctor scanned and scanned for what seems like an eternity, then he
said " I'm very sorry but your baby has passed away"
Eden Victoria Ebony Rumer Shepherd was born on 25th January 1997 at 0836 and was the most beautiful
baby I had ever seen, she was very like her Dad.
It has been 10 years now since Eden died, I don't know how we got through, we were blessed two years
later when we had a baby boy, premature but healthy.

REMEMBERANCE
Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!
No later light has lightened up my heaven,
No second morn has ever shone for me;
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee.
But, when the days of golden dreams had perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy;
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy.
Then did I check the tears of useless passion--
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine;
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine.
And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain;
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I seek the empty world again?
Heaven's Baby Castle
In a baby's castle just beyond my eye
My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy
Who am I to wish her back into this world of strife?
No, play on my baby, you have eternal life
When all around is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear her tiny footsteps come running at my side
Her little hand caresses me so tenderly and sweet
I'll breathe a little prayer and close my eyes and embrace hers in my sleep
Now I have a treasure I rate above all other
I have known true glory - I am still her mother

On angel wings you do fly
On angel wings into the sky
On angel wings i do cry
Because those angel wings took you away
On angel wings the heralds sing
Is there no such lovely thing?
On angel wings you fly away.
I will see these angel wings again someday
When i am old and my time has come
On angel wings I will fly
Until I'm holding you once again
Smiling on angel wings.
I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along the way.
His love is always with you
His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares
He will always see us through.
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Just remember I'm here praying
And God will do the rest
There are angels in the Heavens,
There are angels on the ground.
There are angels all around you,
Just waiting to be found.
So when you are feeling lonely
Or just a little blue,
Open your eyes to see the angels,
They are there, waiting for you.
Don't forget about these angels
During all of your good times too,
For they like to share your happiness
And the joys that come to you.
They will wrap their wings around you,
To protect and guide you through
All the sad and tragic moments
That this life can throw at you.
They are sent to you from Heaven
From our Father up above,
So remember to look for the angels.
They'll show you all God's Love.
An Angels Kiss
We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
As we travel on our way.
We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an ANGELS KISS.
A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
An ANGELS KISS will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.
So when your hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you
Remember once again.....
About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze you took for granted
Was just......... 'AN ANGELS KISS'

~Lots of Love Always~
I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a rainbow lights the way.
