OUR STORY
I found out i was pregnant in Feb 2008 Athough we did not plan our pregnancy, we were really excited
and used to talk about our baby all the time.
At our 20wk scan we found out we were having a little girl, along with the devastating news that our
baby had "a growth" at the bottom of her spine.
We were transfered to St Mary's hospital in manchester, where our consultant confirmed our worst
fears, Our little girl had a "Sacrococcygeal Teratoma" the most common tumor in babies, It affects 1
in 35,000 babies.
The tumor was growing at aprox 1cm a week, and we were told our little girl was coping fine and
would have an operation after birth, we were booked in for a section on Tuesday 7th October at
37wks.
We had painted the nursery, put the cot up, filled her wardrobe to the brim with clothes and set the
pram up for her arrival, we couldn't wait! We used to talk about what she would look like, would she
have dark hair like her Daddy? would it be curly like mummy?
Every night at bed time we would spend half an hour talking to her, she always knew when Daddy was
there, the first time she ever kicked was for him, on his birthday, then after that everytime he
spoke she would start wriggling around, She was a daddy's girl already. We felt like we knew her
already, and loved her more than anything.
I went into hospital on Monday 6th October, ready for my section the next day, but when the midwife
monitored me, our babies heartbeat was poor and my blood pressure was high so they decided to do the
section straight away.
Evie Grace Francessca Best was born 6/10/2008 at 11.14pm, she never cried and was taken away because
she wasn't breathing properly.I didn't even get to see her!
Everything is a little blured from there but at around 2.00am the doctors came and told us that our
baby girl, was very poorly, her tumor had been bigger than expected and had ruptured, Evie needed
surgery to stop the bleeding but doctors didn't know if she would make it.
That's the first time we saw our beautiful little girl, she was absolutely perfect with daddy's dark
hair and Mummy's curls. Then we had to leave.
At 4.00am the doctors came back to see us and broke the devastating news that Evie had passed away
at 3.50am 7/10/2008, We will never forget that day, the day hearts got broken.
Evie Grace, Mummy and Daddy love you so much, you are our perfect little angel and we will never
ever forget you. We cry for you every day and would do anything to hold you and tell you how special
you are just one more time.
We can't wait for the day we see you again, but until then, sleep tight beautiful angel. Mwah

OUR PRECIOUS BABY EVIE GRACE
In a baby castle, just beyond our eyes
Our baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy,
Who are we, to wish that you had known this world of strife?
Now, play on, our baby Evie Grace for you have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes our eyes
We'll hear your tiny footsteps come running to our side.
Your little hands caress us, so tenderly and sweet
We'll breathe a prayer and close our eyes
and embrace you in our sleep.
Feelings we will treasure,
sometimes remember sadly
Because, Our little baby Evie Grace
We are still your Mummy and Daddy
A LITTLE ANGEL
Today it would be wonderful
to see you play or smile
but heaven lent you to this world
for just a little while
And in that short but precious time
you brought along much love
and all that love is with you now
in heaven up above
Your leaving caused so many tears
and such a lot of pain
but God needed one more angel
so he took you back again
Merry Christmas
Hope you had a good christmas up in heaven little girl. We all missed you lots, especially me and Daddy.
Hope you got your balloons that we sent you.
Grandad and Nana bought me a locket with your picture in so you'll always be with me.
have fun today angel
Lots of love hugs and kisses

Reach for an angel high on a star;
She sends you Christmas wherever you are,
Bringing you laughter and faith so supreme,
Touching your heart with a beautiful dream.
Peace and goodwill in each loving home,
Beauty and magic so surely your own.
Sweet Christmas angels - moments of love,
Part of the wonder God sends from above.
Santa and children - this wonderful day,
Hope for tomorrow in words that we pray,
Tree reaching tall - such a beautiful sight,
Music we treasure is heard on the night.
Bless you, my dear ones, this so holy time;
May God's richest blessings forever be thine,
Glad tidings I send you across every mile
Along with a faith to make each day worthwhile.

Dear Jenna
Thank you for your lovely message. Im so sorry for your loss. Your lil girl is gorgeous. I'm not sure if you have heard of SANDS (stillbirth and neonatal death society) but i have gained a lot from joing their online forum. I don't want to come across as patronising, but it is really early days for you still, just take one day at a time, and i promise, it won't always hurt so much. I can't say it's easy, life will never be the same again, but believe it or not, you will smile again, you have to because your lil girl wouldn't want you not to. She is always near you- and im sure she's very proud of her brave mummy.
Wishing you gentle days ahead
so much love and understanding
Caroline- mummy to Sam Oliver Matthews (Christmas eve 07- Christmas day 07 - congenitial diapragmatic hernia)

Dear Evie,
Stay close to Mummy and Daddy darling. They need to feel you around. Perhaps if they light some candles for you, you can show them you are close by- my Sam is very good with the ol' candles :O)
If you see him up there, please give him a big kiss from his mummy and tell him i miss him sooooooooo much. Tell him I can't believe he's nearly 1, and that he's not here to celebrate with us, but that we are going to make him proud, and he has lots to look forward to on his birthday and Xmas ;O)
Loadsa love princess Evie

Merry Christmas Baby Girl XXXXXXXXXX
The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel’s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.
The house is filled with holly
And pine-cone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.
The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I’m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.
The fire is softly glowing
You face I long to touch
But Christmas isn’t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.
If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.
Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.
Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I’m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.
So hold a place in Heaven Evie
And someday when life is through
You’ll be my Christmas angel
And I'll share the day with you
My darling granddaughter
