Lit by Amy Bendall 2nd October 2008
Happy Birthday pudding. I love you so much and I just wish me and daddy could spoil you today and watch you blow out your candle. I cant believe its been a year since we were blessed with you my chunkers. I miss you so much, Im so sorry I havent wrote to you for a long time, I still love you and I will forever and ever my sweet angel girl I promise.Me and daddy put a new bamboo up to support your tree today, but you probably know that already. Its grown so big, and its almost as beautiful and inspiring as you were, but not quite my angel.Its your birthday and heres a poem from me and daddy, I wish I could give you something better, but I cant reach you baby Im so sorry for that. I love you so much.Lilybumble loves the wavesAnd takes them for a ride.But just right now her mummyIs on the other side.As far as she can seeThere are waves, and more, and more.But just right now her mummyIs on the other shore.It's a great big oceanWith lots of sharks and whales,Octopus and sailboatsAnd big boats without sails,Polar bears and penguins,And lots and lots of fish.But just right now her mummyWould like to make one wish.Lily's mummy wishesThe ocean were a puddle.Then she could jump acrossAnd the two of them could cuddle!Wouldn't it be niceIf the ocean were a lake?Then our baby angelCould have some birthday cake.Lily's mummy loves her,But she is far away.So just right now she sends her loveOn Lily's special day.Bless you my precious. We love you so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
