A Tribute to my Baby Girl
On 24th July 2007 an angel in disguise was born, Rebecca Edwardson.
Rebecca you entered this world so small and perfect,everybody who met you said you were a little
china doll... you bought so much joy to our lives, and we are so so proud to be able to call you our
own. We knew from an early age there was something wrong but all the doctors just kept on telling us
we were wrong, but we kept taking you back over and over again, till they listened, finally you got
to see a skin doctor who arranged a biopsy as you had skin lesions all over your body, he diagnosed
you with a rare condition called pleva, but even then I knew he was wrong, and the biopsy never did
confirm his diagnosis, so we kept on at doctors again, and again, till we finally got to see another
doctor Mr Laycock.
I thought he would be the same as the rest of them,but to my delight he listened and instead of
turning us away he agreed that something was wrong. Two days after seeing him you were admitted into
hospial, for a CT scan, and two days after that you were transferred to the Children’s Hospital in
Manchester, because they found two white spots of calcium on your brain, you spent two weeks at
Manchester, undergoing loads of tests and procedures, but nothing came of them. Each test they
carried out came back normal so you got discharged, with an appointment to see Mr Laycock again but
before that date arrived you became poorly, and you were admitted back into hospital, and the
following day back to the Children’s Hospital, where you had emergency surgery on August 9th 2008,
for what turned out to be peritonitis. You never did get the chance to come home again. Though you
did recover from the operation you started becoming poorly again, and over the next three months you
went through endless tests, but no matter how many tests or how many differnt doctors you saw they
just couldn’t tell us what was wrong with you; that was until September 22nd when you were
transferred to Great Ormond Street, where after four days of the same tests you had gone through so
many times, they finally made the diagnosis of such a horrible and rare disease called Degos
Disease, the doctors told us that it is so rare they know nothing about it and then thats when they
broke our hearts, because they told us that there was no known effective treatment and they
couldn’t cure you.
We went back to Blackpool Hospital on the 26th September 2008. Doctors tried treatments but they
just didn't work baby girl, two weeks later you were taken to Brian House Children’s Hospice where
you were given the best t.l.c in the world. You only managed a week before you closed your eyes
forever, all your family beside you, everybody came to say goodbye. You waited till it was just me
and you and Daddy cuddled up together in bed before you spread your precious little angel wings and
flew to heaven to be with all the other little angels.
Rebecca you are so, so special, and I hope that when you left this earth that you were not scared in
any way because my baby you did not go alone, you took a part of me with you. I miss you so much, we
all miss you so, so much, too young to die, but too precious for this earth. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
What kind of place would heaven be with all its streets of gold, if all the souls, that dwell up there like yours and mine, were old? How strange would heaven’s music sound when harps begin to ring, if children were not gathered ‘round to help the angels sing. The children that God sends to us are only just a loan, He knows we need their sunshine to make the house a home. We need the inspiration of a baby’s blessed smile. He doesn’t say they’ve come to stay, just lends them for a while. Sometimes it takes them years to do the work for which they come. Sometimes in just a month or two our Father calls them home. I like to think some souls up there bear not one sinful scar. I love to think of heaven as a place where children are.

A Child Loaned
A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."
