Mummy what did I do wrong ?

Earlier on today i was thinking of Mia - daisy's best friend who passed away ! I was angry about her being gone today , so to releave the pain i wrote a poem , and i thought i would share it with you here ! It is written as if it is mia speaking ., enjoy ...

Mummy what did i do wrong ?

Why mummy why ?

Why did the angels choose me,

I wish that my life was simple again,

Pain and cancer free.

I fight every day , without a minutes rest,

please tell me mummy why ?

Why do the angels hate me , when you say i am the best ?

I am in great pain , Unimaginable pain,

I cry every day,

I beg for forgiveness , what did I do wrong?

I wish that this torture would just end,

It feels like a mind game,

And I constantly have to be strong,

I am a good little girl , so ,

Mummy please make my pain stop !

Mummy why do they hate me ,

When you say my heart is pure gold?

My life is like a very thin frayed piece of thread,

Hanging there , Just waiting to snap,

This is something we all dread,

Mummy why me ,

What did i do wrong , what did i do to upset them ,

Mummy why do the angels hate me ?

Why did they humiliate me and make me bald?

I knew i would die ,

I was just waiting around,

And then it came,

That day in August when i became very sick,

The doctors said that they had no more treatments,

No more magic medicine ,

Nothing that would heal me and make me better again.

My mummy cried,

I tried to be strong,

I am only a small child,

Living through what seems like hell.

I did not fear death but ,

I knew that I would have to leave behind,

A life that was overspilling with love,

And all those people that meant the whole world to me,

But that i would soon spread my wings,

and fly just like a dove !

When I entered the gates of heaven,

It was only then that I realised,

That the angels dont hate me,

They love me so,

So much that they wanted me ,

To be with them right then.

They wanted a star,

That would make heaven bright,

One that would make heaven a beautiful place to be,

And this is why they choose me,

I am that star,

An angel with wings.

I watch over my mummy,

Who grieve's for me each night and day,

I do not like it and I have to turn away,

My little sister Gracie is growing up so fast,

I try to protect her from all harm and the Dreadfull past.

I try to help my beautiful Mummy,

The one I love so much,

By sending messages ,

Like the breeze in the wind,

Reminding her that I'm just a short breath away.

My name is Mia,

I am only three,

On the 31st of August,

The angels called for me.

Behind The Big Red Door

Behind the big red door !

I have recently started reading a beautiful and inspring Book called "Behind the big red door" , It's about a childrens hospice called helen house - The first ever childrens hospice in the world !

My dear friend Rachel's body was taken there after she sadly died on the 25th of January 2007 of non hodgkins lymphoma, just 3 days before she turned 14 ! I like to say that "Only the very best die young " And Rachel proved that saying to be right ! She was a lovely kind hearted person , Who everyone would love ! She was supposed to go there to die , But couldn't because at the very last stages of Rach's precious life she was on a life support machine ! R.I.P Beautiful angel Rachel , Find your wings and fly ! I can't wait for the day when I will see her again !!!




Rachel Looking incredibly embaressed with santa !!
The last time I ever saw Rachel alive and well !


And it's Children Like Rachel , that helen house takes care of , In there times of need !People often associate Hospices as places where people go to die , But Helen House is a place for living , Not just a place for dying! Helen House has helped many people over the past 25 years , Doing what they do best , Loving,Living,Caring and Hoping !

An extract from the book !

An alternative Job Description for care team members as written by some of the team in 1992

• Someone who doesn't eat the children's chocolate drops
• Someone who can read Enid Blyton for hours without whining
• Someone who looks pretty and has the muscles of Tarzan
• Someone who is a cordon bleu cook but really doesn't mind when everyone is on a diet and can,with a smile,stretch midday lunch to accomodate another twenty because they changed their minds at 11.45am
• Someone who understands that even sick children can be little toads at times
• Someone who sounds eternally positive whatever the situation, in the manner of Joyce Grenfell
• Someone who does not insist that all children should watch "neighbours" and "Home and away"
• Someone who can be surrounded by children choking and not turn a hair
• Someone who loves all adventures and is happy to sleep out in the garden overnight with their feet sticking out of the door of a child's size tent
• Someone who doesn't mind when their car is blocked in when it is time to go home.

A beautiful book ! - Read it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had double Science where we learnt about the digestive system - Believe me you really don't want to know what a rectum and anus is !! No seriously. We had music and a really boring assembly which was completly pointless where I got terrible pins and needles - It hurt ! Then I went home and My sister Daisy ( Who has leukeamia !) went for her vin Christine ( Chemo ) At Milton keynes hospital ! So that Is my day Boring I know !!!
