My Shadha, Our Shadha, Your Shadha
Our beautiful daughter, our baby girl born on the 30th August 2006 who sadly passed away 4 days
later......
Some say that our lives, our achievements, all the good things and bad things that happen in this
crazy world of ours are written, mapped out for us, it is a destiny, a path that we follow.
If this is true then we have no words for the author of the past week.
Everyone in life is so special to me and Donna and we know we do not always show it but we love each
and everyone one of you as much as we possibly can. Take care of your families, your friends and
most importantly your children they are truly god’s gift. In the short time that we knew our
daughter, Shadha, a bond was forged that will stay with us forever.
Shadha’s Prayer
Do not stand at my side and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Shadha is a thousand winds that blow.
Shadha is the diamond glint on snow.
Shadha is the sunlight on ripened grain.
She is the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
She will be the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
Our daughter is the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my side and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
To our darling daughter Shadha,
You came into our world early and you left it the same.
You were the most precious thing in our lives for those special few days, you looked so healthy, so
beautiful and so strong, but our world proved too much for you, and now you are gone.
Now we know you are not suffering and hope you rest well, be strong and ready precious one, go begin
your new life without us, we will always be there holding your hand.
We will miss taking you home, taking care of you, watching you grow, introducing you to family, to
friends, taking you for walks, playing with the dogs, teaching you to swim, building sand castles on
the beach, seeing your first steps, first day at school, showing you our world, there’s so much we
wanted to do.
You are supposed to break our hearts when you achieve special things in your life, but you have done
it so early. Don’t worry my darling we will heel, knowing you are safe and with us always.
So few words, but such a short life, god bless our darling daughter every single night.
You will be in all our hearts for eternity, never will a day go by when you are not there in our
thoughts and we know you will be watching over us too, save a special place for us and wait, we will
be with you soon.
Most of all Shadha, we would like to thank you for your parting kiss it will stay with us for the
rest of our life until we meet in the next.
With all our love forever and eternity, goodnight and god bless
from Mummy and Daddy

To Family and Friends
Our thanks and best wishes go out to everyone who offered their words of encouragement after the
birth of our daughter, and to the support and sympathy we have received since the day she left.
There were prayers said for Shadha all over the world, friends near and far and from differing
religions praying for her life, everyone did everything in their power to make this work, but alas
it was not to be, but our heartfelt thanks to all of you.
With all our love to you all,
from Donna, Kevin and Shadha
Doctors and Nurses
A special thanks goes out to all the doctors and nurses at the Costa del Sol Hospital in Marbella
and to the team at the Materno Infantil in Malaga.
These people did everything in their powers to firstly try and stop the early birth of our daughter
and then afterwards took every care of Shadha in order to stabilise her, we thank them for the time
we did have and their constant battle to make good.
God bless our baby daughter Shadha, born on the 30th August 2006 and in our hearts for all
eternity.
Dear Donna,

Words cannot express just how utterly devastated we feel for you both and your family. It has come as such a shock and can't imagine the hurt you must be feeling.
All of our thoughts are with you.
Tim, Lynn, Stephanie & Stacey
We have been shocked by your news and want to express our heartfelt and deepest condolences. Having our three sons, we can not imagine any sader event. We sincerely hope you can recover from this the best possible way.
Nacho & Sonia
Dear Donna,
I just want to tell you that all of us are very sorry. Is difficult to transmit our feelings in other language, we are really sad.
Os enviamos a Kevin y a ti un fuerte abrazo y esperamos que os recuperéis pronto de esta triste experiencia.
Me parece una iniciativa preciosa, un regalo para Shadha a la que nos hubiera gustado conocer y reconfortante para vosotros que os sabeis queridos y acompañados en este sentimiento doloroso.
Muchos besos para los dos y ánimo.
Thoughts are with you
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious little girl. I lost my little girl too at 4 days old. No one should ever have to say goodbye to their children, life can be so cruel. Molly fell asleep in 2002. She's always in our thoughts.
My thoughts are with you all. Love Wendy x x
A special message sent the day after Shadha's service
Dear Donna and Kevin
I just wanted to drop you a line after to tell you how overwhelmed we felt at seeing you both yesterday coping with your grief.
We thought that you handled yourselves with extreme dignity and your closeness and support of each other was so touching I know that you both have the stregnth to pull through this.
Over the years seeing you with our boys i know that you are going to make wonderful parents, we have always thought that and still feel the same.
Shadhas passing away and seeing you both yesterday has stirred up feelings inside us that has made us realise that we cannot take our children for granted and how short life can be.
I felt the breeze pick up last night and thought of Shadha and you both and hope that soon you will hold a child in your arms again.
I wont say if you need me call because i know that you wont so i will call you.
Our love and thoughts with you always
Michelle, Keith and boys
Donna & Kevin,
We are very shocked and saddened by your tragic loss, we would like to express our condolences to you both at this very sad time.
Our thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.
Geoff and Nicki.
Dear Donna and Kevin,
We are so sorry, our thoughts are with you both.
Several people have asked us to pass on to you their condolences and to let you know that they are thinking of you both at this time.
Rather than try and remember them all until the next time we see you, we thought it best to put them in writing so that you have a record of who they are and we don't risk leaving anybody out.
They include Sarah and Andy, Becky and Nick, Amanda and Steve, Tina and Martyn, Sylvia and Phil and Johnny.
It goes without saying that we are also still thinking of you and hope that as the days pass, the hurt gets just a little bit easier to bear.
Love,
Ron and Maureen.
