She shared the poem entitled Our Little Heart, that wrote: “A tiny star that shone so bright,
Our little heart, you gave a big fight
Though your time was brief, your love remains
A spark that will guide us through the joys and pains.
“Your big bro will always love you too
Because even he has a heart as big as you
And of course Your daddy and i will always wonder
Where our little heart is growing fonder
“But there’s one thing we know for sure
A heart as special as yours needs no cure
And In our dreams we will see your smiling face
Until we all meet again in our special place
“Our little heart x.”
She went on to say: “As this month comes to a close – July.
“Its not an easy one to share but having spent this last few weeks navigating our way through one of our most challenging times together offline, I want to send love and strength to anyone who has walked this path of grief.
“One of the things that has helped me through this is knowing I am not alone and I hope I can bring comfort in the same way to anyone who is going through this. Be kind to yourself, as I have been.
“Thanks to my amazing family and friends who I could not have gotten through any of this without. Mam, Simon, you are my rock. Jacob my everything and more. I wrote this little poem above for our little baby the morning after we parted ways, and although our angel baby was not ready for this world, I will carry the love we shared forever.”
