I struggle with finding the right words because Sometimes when you have to be strong and [put] on a brave face you forget about the precious moments that pass by.

Yesterday was an emotional but exciting day, and sometimes it only takes one person to help you see what you have.

I miss and love Corrie with every part of my body and little things set off different emotions.

I can't help but be truly unconditionally in love with my baby and your [sic] not here yet.

You bring so much pain yet just as much joy and Your daddy would be proud of you my little one and would love you as much as I do.

Corrie will be a part of both of us forever and no one can take that away

Mummy loves you little baby
