A Letter to our Beautiful Daughter,
Bethany Renee Fallon…… Taken Too Soon……
Our little miracle girl, right to the end. Four years in the making, through many heartbreaks and tears we fought for you. Three cycles of IVF, 2 surgeries and then finally the news we had craved to hear for so long, your Mummy was pregnant and we were going to have you. Today this remains up there as one of the happiest days of our lives, along with 31 March, the day you were born and we were finally able to meet you and hold you. But we weren’t supposed to meet you yet. Not yet. Not this soon. The past 20 weeks have been the happiest of our lives. From day 1 we have loved you, cherished you, talked to you, sung to you, planned for you. Our lives have revolved around you. It wasn’t supposed to end this way, not this soon, and we will forever wonder why, but maybe it was just because you loved us so much that you had to meet us, that you couldn’t wait! Maybe you could sense or see the beautiful nursery we had set up for you. The colours, the toys, the soft blankets and teddies, the hand picked words that were written in clouds above your cot and above your window. Those words will always remain in my mind and in our hearts.
Hush little baby mummy and daddy are near
To brush your hair and calm your fears
To kiss your cheek and hold your hand
‘Til you drift off to sleepy land
To help you count those little white sheep
And sing you songs ‘til you’re asleep
To tell you tales of kings and queens
Of Jack and Jill and wonderful things
So snuggle up and hold me tight
And dream sweet dreams all through the night
And every night when the sun goes down
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town……
I’m so sorry Bethany, I’m so sorry I could not be there for you when you needed me most. A father is supposed to protect his little daughter…. But as much as I willed all to be ok and hoped for a miracle, I was helpless……
At 19 weeks you were happily swimming around inside your Mummy, waving those arms and kicking those long legs. You weren’t to know what was about to happen. You didn’t deserve it. The doctors gave you little chance but you fought on for 4 days. You weren’t ready to give up and neither were we. Right up until the end your heartbeat remained strong. Just an hour before your birth we were privileged to listen to you and it was like you wanted us to know one last time that you were there and fighting. At 19 weeks and 4 days you had no right to survive birth but once again you amazed us. Expected to survive for 5 minutes you stayed with us for an hour 15. Long enough for you to wrap your hand around my little finger, twitch as I tickled your tiny foot and long enough for you to feel your Mummy’s heartbeat as she held you to her chest. We watched in amazement as your heart continued to beat. I know you didn’t want to leave us. You fought right to the end and so too did your Mummy. She is the bravest person I know and you take after her in so many ways. You may have my long fingers and toes and look like me but you have her heart and fight and we are so proud you chose us as your parents, even for such a short period of time.
We are told you are in a better place now, but it’s hard to imagine a better place than hear with us? For 4 years we have been ready for you and we were ready to give you the world. We still will but now in our own little way. There are so many people in our lives that will miss you too. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends…..
The future is going to be tough without you here with us and right now we might not see a way through it, but we do not stand here today sad for ourselves but sad that as hard as you fought, you never had a chance. You wanted to live, you fought to live and we fought so hard for you too, but on this occasion the fight was just too big. We will always treasure the time that you did share with us. Take comfort Bethany that your Mummy and Daddy will always be here for you and through the miracle of you, you have brought us even closer together as a family, for we are a family!
Rest in Peace beautiful angel
We will never forget you……. xoxoxoxox
Wishing you Love and Serenity on your 2nd Birthday....
My dearest little girl Bethany....
Tomorrow (31/3) marks the 2 year anniversary of the moment you both came into our world and then left again much too soon. Not a day goes by when we don't think of you and wish you were here with us. I often imagine what you would now look like and what your personality would be. How you would have grown into such a beautiful little girl. I am sure you are aware but for 9 months now you have had a little sister in Paige. She too is beautiful, just like you, and I am sure you are looking after her, protective of her as all big sisters are. We look forward to teaching Paige all about you, of your strength and your inspiration.
I am a better person Bethany for having you in my life. It can be tough and emotions are often bottled up, but you are always forefront in my mind.
I hope you are at peace and I know tomorrow will be tinged with both sadness and happiness as your Mummy, myself and Paige remember you and celebrate your 2nd birthday.
Love always, your (emotional) Daddy.... xxooxx

★HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMALL PRECIOUS ONE
Happy 1st Birthday Beautiful Girl....
Dearest Bethany,
I cannot believe that tomorrow (31/3) will be a year to the day when you both came into our world and left it much too soon. I am in 2 minds as to whether the year has flown by or excrutiatingly dragged on, and not a day goes by that I don't think of you, miss you and badly wish you were growing up in our arms. You were such a fighter and your Mummy and I have tried to live our lives the same way over the last 12 months, in honour of you. We all too well know the pain of losing you and because of you are now living our lives in order to help others that suffer the same pain. You Bethany, are an inspiration to us.
As I write this now, thinking of you and knowing it's your first birthday tomorrow I have tears in my eyes....
Hopefully, very soon Bethany, you will have a little brother or sister who I look forward to teaching all about you. You will always be their big sister, watching and guiding over them and no matter what the future holds you will always be forefront in our minds.
Love you beautiful girl, always and forever..... your Daddy xoxox
To our beautiful baby girl Bethany,
After so many years of wanting you Christmas was always the hardest time. Seeing parents with their children was always so sad because that’s what we wanted more then anything.
Christmas last year was when we found out you were on your way. We were so excited and happy. You were our wonderful Christmas present. We were so looking forward to Christmas this year & finally having you in our arms.
You were taken from us too soon though and now we are about to spend our first Christmas without you and all the Christmas’s after without ever getting to hold you. We will never see you open presents, share in your excitement or see you play with your cousins. All the things we had dreamed about for so long.
I promise you baby girl that even though you will not be with us you will always be in our hearts and minds every Christmas, along with every other single day of the year.
We love you so much and wish you a Merry Christmas.
Love from your Mummy & Daddy who are never truly apart from you because you are always forever in our hearts.
Missing you precious little angel
Dear little bethany,
Only one cuddle will never be enough. Missing you not physically being here, especially when we celebrated your little cousin, chloe's 1st birthday, but we know you were there in spirit. Going to miss you not being here for your 1st christmas, but know you will be watching over all of us, especially your mummy & daddy. We hope that you will have a little brother or sister in the future for you to watch over and protect too. Keep flying little angel. Missing you always. Thinking of you always.
Love Always
Aunty Sally

To our beautiful baby girl Bethany,
How we wish things had turned out different. It seems so unfair that we waited so long for you and you were taken away from us so soon. At the same time we feel so lucky that we had you in our lives and that you were ours even if it was for such a short time.
We have wonderful memories, you gave us the happiest five months of our lives and we will always treasure that.
We love you so much Bethany and we will love you forever, always our first daughter, always in our hearts.
Lots of hugs & kisses
Mummy & Daddy
xxooxxooxxoo
Always Forever in our Hearts....
Thinking of you beautiful Bethany on what was meant to be your due date for entry to this world (21 Aug 09) Right now we were meant to be holding you, cuddling you and singing you sweet songs to help you drift off to sleep..... Love Always your Daddy xxx
She Was Special ................by Sam Winson
Bethany was so very, very special,
And was so from the start,
You held her in your arms,
But mainly in your heart.
And like a single drop of rain,
That on still waters fall,
Her life, ripples did make,
And touched the lives of all.
She’s gone to play with Angels,
In heaven up above,
So keep your special memories,
And treasure them with love.
Although your darling daughter,
Was with you just a while,
She’ll live on in your heart,
With a sweet, remembered smile.
