Lit by Mummy, Daddy, Faye, Ruby & Emma-Rae xxxxx 22nd June 2020
Hello Baby Girl,
I just thought I'd drop by to tell you that we miss you. Today was Father's Day, or rather yesterday was as it's now after midnight. It was also Mummy and Daddy's 6th Wedding Anniversary, and Daddy's birthday the day before too. I just got in bed and was thinking about the weekend and about you, wondering how different it might have been if you were here. I'm sure you have been watching over us and sending your love in your own special way.
We met up with Faye, Nanny and Grandad today for a social distanced get together in the park. You are always missing. We had a nice time though despite the rain. Nanny gave me some beautiful cardigans she has knitted for Ruby and Emma-Rae, they are really pretty! Grandad gave Daddy a new fishing reel for his birthday too, he has been spoilt this year! We gave him a new games console amongst a few other things to set up in the bedroom so that he can have time out when he needs it, he has coped with a lot of noise during this lockdown! He finds it difficult to relax and rest at home so maybe it will help him do this.
How was Jacob's birthday up there today? Did you and him run rings around your Nanna? I wish I knew what it was like up there! I'd love to be able to visit and see for myself, without having to stay permanently for now. I'd love for you to visit me too and tell me all about it. Do you think you will ever come? Maybe you can't because you were a newborn baby and still are, I don't even know if you are growing up up there and are now seven or if you are still the newborn baby I said goodbye to. So many questions and no answers.
We were written to recently about the Ockenden Review, asking permission for your case to be included in the review. Daddy and I talked about it and gave it a lot of thought and we have given our consent, as scared as we are about what the outcome of that may be. Now that they have written to us and highlighted your case as potentially relevant to their review I can't not let them try to get answers if there are any to be had. I have a few niggling thoughts about what happened and maybe this will allow me to finally find some peace with those. It will be a long time before the review is complete, at least a year from now, but it will be what it will be, we just have to prepare ourselves for whatever it is. If they can tell us at the end of it that there was nothing in your case that could ir should have been done differently, then we can sleep easier at night and stop wondering.
Anyway I'm going to sleep now, I'll see you in my dreams sweetheart. We all love and miss you so so much and think about you all the time. Sweet dreams Baby Girl xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
