Sophie’s Bounce-a-thon

Anyone who knows me has heard me at one some moment in time speak about my daughter. Her name was Sophie and 6 day from now would have been her 8th Birthday

Sophie was due on 26th October 2010, I had her my first Halloween onesie ready and all, I was so excited to meet my little girl as was everyone else, but she had other ideas she was going to make us wait.

On the 9/11/10 I went into labour, emotions were all over the place but most of all excitement!

And then devastation, on the 10/11/10 Sophie died just minutes before she entered the world.

I will never forget the agony of waiting for a cry that never came, the devastation of the moment I realised my baby was gone

I will never forget taking my silent baby home, holding her praying it wasn’t reality, but most of all I will never forget placing her in her mosses basket for the last time, knowing I would never see her sweet face and hold her tiny hand ever again!

This time of year is so hard, everyone says time heals all, but time to me is just more missed memories and more missed moments, time I haven’t got to spend with her. Every year is another 365 days I didn’t get to see the amazing person I know she would of become, another million missed moments where she took my breath away with all the little things she could do. One of the hardest things is not getting to celebrate her birthday, not throwing her and all her friends a party, watching her blow out her candles and spoiling her for her special day.

This year in honour and in memory of my little girl whose birthday I can’t celebrate, we have decided to throw a Boogie Bounce, Bounce a Thon for charity. All this week we will be raising money and getting sponsorship and roping as many people as we can in to join us for a 6 hour Bounce A Thon on this Saturday 10th November. Let me know if you’d like to join in, or sponcer us or even just be there on the day to help us celebrate, hopefully we can get together raise money for a good cause, have some fun and make some new memories that I’m sure Sophie would have been proud of!
