Four years ago three special little people were born, Reuben, Henry and Isla. I knew about their birth soon after it happened through the Bliss forums. Their mother was one of the first people I supported right through neonatal care and beyond.
We grew closer and closer as her babies continued their long and complicated journey through neonatal care.
I never met Isla but she captured my heart. Strong and stubborn, she weathered storm after clinical storm. Every day brought a new challenge that she overcome.
However as time went on it was just too much and Isla came to a time where she couldn't fight anymore.
Today on her birthday I wrote "Happy Birthday Isla" on a tulip and let it go down the Irwell.
She may be gone but she lives on forever in my heart and I will never forget.
