Mummy's Presonal Goodbye

Music ~ Eric Clapton Tears In Heaven - Played at the End Of Georgina’s Service

When I think of Georgie I do not dwell on the baby that she was, but the child that she would have been. Her life on earth has ended at 14 weeks but will be continued in Heaven.

On earth she had become a beautiful baby that was beginning to learn how to laugh, gurgle and grow. In Heaven her learning will continue. Like her 4 year old cousin Shannon we all though she’d grow up, but I ask you to remember that she will grow. She will become the little girl with dark hair in bunches that I imagined. She will do it under the guidance of all the other angels in Heaven who are looking after her for me and Mal.

I would now like to read a poem written by my friend Dawn Glenton on the day of Georgie’s passing

Why?

Why did you have to leave me babe?
Why did you have to die?
Was I not meant to keep you here?
Why did you have to fly?

I want you back here with us
Things can never be the same
How can we carry on in life
And play earth’s awful game?

You were our little princess
We loved you very much
We miss your smile, your laughs
Your tears, your hugs and loving touch

I ‘ll never see you sit or crawl
Or walk unsteadily
How can my life just carry on
When you’re not here with me?

We had so many plans for you
So much we could have done
You never got to play around
With Bradley and have fun

I’ll never tie your hair in bows
Or see you off to school
My darling little princess
Why is this life so cruel?

I need to get some answers
My questions seem ignored
I feel so lost and lonely here
Oh please help me my Lord

Take good care of my Angel
Now you’ve taken her from me
Wrap her tightly in your arms
And kiss her tenderly

Please tell her that we miss her so
And will forever more
And save a place for us one day
When we’ll be whole once more

Whenever I feel sad about her passing I always remember these words quoted from the film Steel Magnolia’s as a mother mourned the loss of her daughter:

"I realise as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when this wonderful creature drifted into my life, and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life."

Our Georgie, Bradley’s Baby is gone from us now in body on earth, but will be forever in the minds, hearts and memories of those that knew her. I ask you to keep her in your hearts, as she will always be in ours.

I want to thank Jennie for supporting me literally during the service and when I got up to read the above without her standing behind me and telling me I could do it I don't think I could have done. Thank you Jennie from the bottom of my heart and beyond.
