Tina Bates Mum To Aimee

I lost my first daughter Kerry Louise in 1988. That was a very hard time for me, she was our first child and I thought I would never get over it. But we were lucky and 7 months later we conceived April-louise our 2nd daughter who is now 18. Two years later Aimee-louise who I called my gift was born (I always called her that because she was my 6th pregnancy). After so much heartache my family was at last complete. She was a beautiful baby, and grew up into a wonderful, kind and generous young lady, loved and so dearly missed by so many. My life since lossing her, as I imagine for all of us, is an existance not a life. I cant imagine my life without her, I adored her, I have 14 wonderful years of memories, but at the moment they just bring more tears. The grief is so painful, but I also feel a physical pain where she was ripped from me. I dont understand why she had to go, am I being punished again ! Why my 'A' why not me. I am a store manager and have thrown myself into my work, working sometimes up to a 60hr week, just to keep myself occupied. This I have found the only thing that keeps me going, and has been a god send. My husband (Tony) and I have been married 28 years and just live day to day. That at the moment is all I can think to write.
