From Grandma and Grandpa on your first birthday
It's one year since you came into our lives bringing so much joy and happiness and love.
Even though we know you are all around us not being able to share your laughter, pain, warmth and need, on a physical plain, is so so hard to bear.
The joy and happiness we shared was all too short, grief and emptiness still fill us, but the love never wanes, that's forever.
Your leaving so early in your precious life is now helping other children that they may not suffer as you did. Your sacrifice and your Mum's determination it would not be in vain have brought change but at such a heavy price.
You should be so very proud of each other.
Even though we cannot be with you have a happy birthday with those you now illuminate.
The clouds will never hide the sunshine you brought us, the mists of time will never dim the happy memories, may the wind carry the scent of your love everywhere.
In the timeless world beyond it will be but a brief separation from us all. We love you Eloise, we will always love you. XXX.
