“At 10:01 on June 17, 2016 I first saw your face and I have spent every day since memorising every detail. Last night I traced your features one last time, in a desperate bid to take you all in.

“As you relaxed, after that last breath I felt your relief, I saw your peace. I told you everything would be alright and as you fly high with the Angels I hope you feel the elation you deserve.

“You have been one awesome little girl Beau Beau. You are without doubt going to be one kick ass Angel. Go have fun chasing rainbows and making pictures in the clouds.
