I wish that when I leave work some days I could walk round to my sisters house and give my baby niece a cuddle and let you sleep in my arms, while your mummy makes me a nice cup of tea, just like your big sister used to. I wish that I could see you smile for the first time, even if it is just gas!! I wish I could hear you say Ray-Ray for the first time, even if it doesn't sound at all like Ray-Ray. I wish I could take you to your first ballet lesson and see Shannon parade you around in front of all her friends like the proud big sister she is. I am so lucky that I already have everything I wish for in your sister, and that I know you will live on in her and any other brother or sister you may have. Please let it be known that just because I can't do everything I wish so hard to do with you, that I will love you any less, because I will never stop loving you and what you would have been if the angels didn't take you away when they did. You are and always be by niece, Jasmine Charlotte Goodrich. x
