Our last moments with Ashley...


After the doctors removed all the tubes from our baby Ashley, they dressed her and wheeled her up to the ward where I've been confined to complete bed rest for the past 6.5weeks to let us spend some private moments as a family...It was 10.45pm, we took more than an hour to cuddle her and show her all the affection that we wish we have a lifetime to shower her...

She was a beautifully formed baby- big, lovely eyes, long limbs and slender fingers which would make her a fine pianist. It was hard to say goodbye especially when mummy was already learning how to express breastmilk for her and we had the maid arrangement in place, even hired a carpenter to decorate the babyroom with a brand-new wardrobe just for her. But we know God's plan is higher than ours and we kiss her a final goodbye before she's sent to the hospital morgue, her temporary resting place...We've been told to go make her birth-cert as well as death-cert today. How ironic and twisted life can be...




It breaks Mummy's and Daddy's heart to let you go but we know we'll reunite in heaven someday. Come running to us again with your Kor-Kors Nathaniel and Joash ok? We can't wait to embrace the 3 of you again and by then, our family would truly be complete...but for now, so long our Precious Princess Ashley...
