It would be fair to say I wasn't looking forward to today, the day that our close friends Emma and Andrew said goodbye to their baby daughter. Cerys was born with a serious heart condition which was diagnosed before her birth. After surgery Cerys defied the odds twice, she surprised everyone caring for her by bouncing back. Even after the heartbreaking decision to let her go she fought back just to give her mum and dad a few more days with her.
Kelly and I didn't get the opportunity to meet little Cerys, but she touched ours and many others lives. Emma & Andy kept friends and family updated daily on the little ones progress, we and I'm sure all others were extremely grateful for this.
After 12 days Cerys fell asleep for the last time in the arms of mummy and daddy, she had fought a brave battle, she had given her proud parents all she could.
For believers of fate the reasons for Cerys' short life will become clear one day, maybe not when they are looking for it, but it will happen. I believe she is in a good place now, free from any pain and in the knowledge that her mum and dad loved her more than anything they have ever known. I'm not overly religious but I'm sure she'll be watching down on mum and dad, and her brother's and sisters in years to come, I've even had a word with my mum to keep an eye out for her.
The service this morning was beautiful, just perfect! And Cerys's tea party after was lovely, a fitting tribute to heavens newest and brightest angel!
Rest in peace Cerys, you will always be loved xxx
