Bobbi Louise Morgan
Sunday 23rd January 2005
3 years old
Cwmbran
Twin sister Danielle
Bobbi had Cerebral Palsy and severe medical problems
Bobbi was born 8 weeks early along with her twin sister Danielle. They were both small but very healthy and came home from scbu a few days after xmas (at 3 weeks old).
Bobbi became ill at 5 weeks with a virus and was rushed to hospital where she suffered a cardiac arrest. Her heart stopped beating for 5 - 10 mins before she was revived. We were told that she would be extremely brain damaged and her future was very uncertain. She became worse during her stay in the university hospital in wales on her second night and we were told that she had a 1% chance of survival. Luckily she pulled through but was left with Cerebral Palsy, epilepsy, visual impairment and panhypopituitarism (damaged pituitary gland). Bobbi needed 13 different medicines and physiotherapy 4 times a day but it never got her down she was always ready with a smile.
Bobbi spent most of her life back and forth hospital and built up solid friendships with the staff there.
At 4 months old the twins started at a centre called TOGS, this was especially for children with disabilities, they loved every minute there and was loved by everyone that crossed their path.
Bobbi started to go to Ty-Hafan's children's hospice at the age of 1. This proved invaluble to us, we were able to have respite and know that Bobbi was looked after by the best people possible.
One month after Bobbi was 3 she became ill with pneumonia and sadly died 3 days later in our arms. Our family and Godparents were there to say goodbye. Over 400 people attended Bobbi's funeral, all wearing pink (Bobbi's favourite colour). She had a beautiful pink casket and more flowers than I'd ever seen. Bobbi continually beat all the odds and was constantly proving everyone wrong. The day she died the biggest part of me died too. Life without her is sometimes too hard to bear but we still carry on for Daniele and Bobbi's new little brother, Harison and to keep Bobbi's memory alive.
A letter for Bobbi. This was read out at her funeral.
Dear
My Bobbi-Lou, my cheeky monkey, my gorgeous angel. I had so many names for you, you responded to each and every one but your favourite was ‘my sexy angel’ you couldn’t resist it, as much as you tried not to smile you had to, you couldn’t help it.
From the time you was born you were my strength, if I ever felt down, you were guaranteed to be the one to make it better. I didn’t need anything to survive and get me through, only you. You had shown me determination, strength, laughter but more importantly, how to love. I never realised how just one little girl could bring out so much love out of so many people and give much more in return.
Everyone that met you was always taken back by your infectious smile and your ability to charm everyone that crossed your path. You loved to be spoken to and knew exactly how to get attention; this normally resulted in us phoning for one of your ‘special taxis’ with the flashing lights. Do you remember how you would go to hospital, so ill and within a few hours would magically be 100% better? I still think it was to make sure no one forgot you. Yes, you kept us on our toes alright, with your mysterious illnesses and the way you never really followed the rule book, always did things your way. You made us believe that we’d got to the bottom of a situation only for you to throw a spanner in the works and do something completely different. I think everyone will agree that to say you were unique was a bit of an understatement.
I don’t regret a single minute of your life, not even when you got ill because if it wasn’t for that you wouldn’t have been you. The day you died the biggest part of me died too. I don’t know how I will live without you, I’m not sure I can. The one thought that will get me through is knowing that eventually we’ll be together again soon but for now someone has to look after your sister and keep her in line. I dread every morning I wake and realise you’re not here. The pain I feel is immense. I knew this day would come eventually but nothing could prepare me for such physical pain and I don’t think it will ever ease. I miss you every minute of every day. I devoted my life to you and Danielle and I will carry on doing so.
As you took your last breath that Sunday, I promised never to forget you; I couldn’t break that promise even if I tried. I’m going to make sure no-one will forget that happy, beaming smile.
I will miss every little thing about you, the way you asked for cuddles by shouting, how you called ‘mum’ hundreds of times a day, the way you sucked in your bottom lip when you was told off, even the way you could poo everywhere and still miss your nappy, you always found that funny. Most of all I’ll miss that smile; I could never get enough of it, every one so precious. All I ever wanted was one last smile but you were too ill. I have my photos and that’ infectious smile’ etched in my memory. You will live on in my heart and in Danielle and I’ll never let you go.
I can’t bear to say goodbye so sleep tight my gorgeous angel and I’ll see you soon.
All my love
Mummy

This is Bobbi's poem on her headstone.
The day you got ill, it tore our hearts in two,
They told us there was nothing that they could really do.
We watched and waited with aching in our hearts,
Then you got stronger, determined not to part.
We were told you may not run, laugh or play,
And that your thoughts may seem quite far away.
But you proved everyone wrong, right from the very start,
We knew that you would, for you had it in your heart.
Those eyes twinkled sunshine, as that smile did too,
You always amazed people with how much you really knew.
The three years we spent together were more special than we have known,
And since you’ve come to stay with us we know that we have grown.
Then that terrible day in January, you got ill once more,
We felt real pain, pain we’d never felt before.
We held you in our arms as you got taken away,
But our hearts is where we’ll keep you and where you’ll always stay.
Our lives will never be the same and we’ll miss you more each day,
But we know we’ll be together again, for it’s only a whisper away.
You’ve made us so proud; you never had to try,
But for now we’ll say goodnight, but we’ll never say goodbye.
The other poems on Bobbi's headstone are:
A face that lit up every time we were near,
A giver of love so precious and dear,
A twinkle by day, atwinkle by night,
Bobbi's star is now shinning bright.
And the one on the back of her headstone is:
I'm up with the stars looking down on you,
I'm the sun up above when the sky is blue,
I'm always smiling and laughing too,
I'm the cheeky little girl who you call Bobbi lou
For Bobbi xx

A tiny princess in the clouds, sleeping softly, up so high,
We never got to say goodbye, through all the years we will ponder why?
Rest your head tiny princess, snuggle up tight,
Its time to say night night.

I think about you everyday, but you were in my thoughts all day on Thursday, I know you were with mummy, daddy, dani and harri celebrating your special day! I hope you like your present! What am i saying, I'm sure you chose it really and showed me what you wanted! I will take it down to mummy next week and hope we can go together to put it on to your garden! I was upset I couldn't bring it down on Thursday but I know you understand. You are always in my thoughts! Miss you and love you darling! Auntie Lisa XxxxxxxxxxX
Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Bobbi "
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Daughter of yours.
today I was at the beach and did a lot of thinking. As the tide was coming in and it seemed so peaceful it made me think alot about how I miss my mummy and daddy then I thought of you and how you have such lovely parents and youre no longer here to annoy them lol x I know they love and miss you very much but I also know that you can see how well Daddy is doing with his odd jobs and how mummys a little annoyed that he can finish things for other people but shes still waiting for her kitchen and bathroom to be finished lol I know you can see how well mummys doing with her degree but she is finding it difficult without you at the moment, so when you get a chance put your arms around her and let her know we are all so very proud of her. one day she will be looking after poorly children just like you and I just know shes going to be fantastic- but dont tell her cos shell get a big head :)
You were such a special little girl and I hope that you like your new bench, just a thought if you did see the horrible people who broke your old one make sure you either splash them with a big puddle or make them fall off their bikes and land on their willies ok lol that'll teach them :)
Thanks for the chat the other day it was just what I needed and if you do manage to see my mum and dad just let them know that I love them very much and I like to think that they would be looking after you and giveing you too many sweets just like they did to me at your age xx
Lots of love to you now and always
Donna xxxxxxxxx
Hi mummy's angel,
Hope u are well, I'm so sorry i haven't been on here for a long time, things have been so busy lately. mummy's been working so hard in uni and i've nearly finished my nursing degree, its been so hard let me tell u. I've just finished my dissertation and i'm counting on your good luck to make it pass. my next placement will be in PICU where u went with the angels, as u can imagine its going to be difficult but its really where i want to work. I've just finished working on the ward where u always used to go and i worked with a lot of the nurses that used to look after u (they all remember so much about u).
Mummy's feeling really down at the moment (not sure why) it should be a happy time for me because i've just finished such a busy few months and now got a few weeks off with dani and harri. I miss you so much and really wish we could go back to the days we were all together, everything was perfect then.
I love you so so much and miss you each and everyday
Night night Boom booms
Your heartbroken
Mummy xxxxxxxxxx

A Special Child - by Unknown Author
A meeting was held quite far from earth,
Time again for another birth,
Said the Angels to the Lord above
This special child will need a lot of love.
Their progress may be very slow
Accomplishments they may not show
And they'll require special care
From the folks they'll meet way down there .
They may not run or laugh or play
Their thoughts my seem so far away
In many ways they won't adapt
And they'll be known as Handicapped.
So lets be careful where they're sent
We want their life to be content,
Please Lord find the Mother who
Will do this special job for you.
She will not realise straight away,
The leading role she'll have to play
But with this child sent from up above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon she'll know the privilege given
In caring for this Gift from Heaven.
This precious child so meek and mild
Is Heaven’s Very Special Child .
