Grace and me
I was four years old when my baby sister
was taken to heaven. I miss her very much
but know that she is heaven watching over me.
I am very proud of the fact that I got to
see Grace alive more times then my Mummy.
For a long time I couldn't understand
why we couldn�t just have another baby as
when one of my toys break I get a new one.
Mummy tried for a long time to convince
me that Baby�s can�t be swapped. I am
nearly 6 and understand that now.
Mummy has told me that I was all that kept her
going from the start, she says that I helped
a lot as I was one of the only people that
wanted to talk about Grace. If people like
my Nanny told her not to cry I would
always tell her �Mummy is allowed to cry�,
Mummy thinks this was great but I was
just telling the truth. Many times Mummy
says I say great things like when I tell her
God needed Grace, that my Pa was lonely
and even that my cousins Nanny wanted to
look after her, I don�t know why she likes
these things as they are the truth. Mummy
says I can read her mind as at times when
she is crying I seem to know just what to say.
It hasn�t always been easy at times
I�ve had to remind Mum and Dad that I am here
and need them too. Once I sent them
to my bedroom and sat them on my bed to give
them a talking too. I said � I know you miss
Grace but Daddy yesterday you told me
you�d play Lego but you didn�t, and Mummy the other
day you said you�d play with
me and you haven�t yet� Well Mum and Dad did
cuddle me after that. Mum say thank
you and kissed me lots don�t know why.
Now days I still talk about Grace and the
things we could be doing if she was here.
I
don�t think its fair other people have
babies and ours had to die
