Lucy's Tribute to her beautiful amazing brave baby
GEORGIA ANN WRIGHT
Who was born on 3rd January 2008 and died on 22nd August 2008 from SMA type 1 aged just 7 ½ months old.
These are all Lucy's words that were read out by Lucy at Georgia's funeral.
I'm going to talk about my beautiful daughter who was the most amazing special baby anyone could have ever had. I was truly blessed. Georgie had hair like spun gold, gorgeous big twinkling blue eyes that said a thousand words and an exquisite, captivating smile.
Georgia adored her big sister, Olivia (3) and loved to watch her play and dance. She would giggle through her dummy while watching her favourite television programme - Micky Mouse Playhouse Disney. Minnie Mouse seemed to always be her favourite. Her eyes would twinkle and her face would beam with that amazing smile she had when Minnie Mouse came on.
My Georgie Ann was wonderful and a true fighter to her very end. I can't think of any words good enough to describe my adorable Georgie.
My World fell apart on 28th May 2008 when i was told that Georgia had Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 1, however an incredible journey began. To see my delightful stunning baby cope with all the horrendous tests she endured were beond anyone's comprehension. Georgia never cried when tests were carried out, one moment sticks out the most when electric currents were sent through her body and even smiled at me through her tiny mask while giving her first nubuliser. My baby was like no other baby - although her body was so weak, Georgie's mind, soul and spirit were so strong and determined. Georgia had such strength of character which reflected in her favourate colour - red.
Every night we went to bed not knowing if our Georgia would be with us in the morning, but always was. Georgie had such incredible courage and determination to self correct her breathing and carry on.
Georgie has left a place on earth that no one could ever replace. With every part of Georgia she has made this world a better place. Georgie was completely unique and a true fighter in every way.
Georgia had courage and pure happiness that beamed and gave everyone the strength to carry on and take every moment in life as a true blessing. At just 7 months old my baby had taught me to be able, to 'just be'.
Georgia was christened on 21st July 2008 at Rainbows Childrens Hospice and even after being given hours to live continued to fight on for another month.
Georgia had the most amazing, stunning, beaming smile that put everyone elses to shame - it was that virtually hypnotic smile that carried our whole family through very dark times. Georgia was a complete inspiration to everyone.
I could see Georgia getting tired now and words are few and thoughts are very deep. Such happy times we had with Georgia and i could see her just wasting in front of me and there was nothing i could do about it. All i could do was love her and hold her tight - I knew that then
and i'm so pleased i changed from being a nurse to Georgie and to just be her mummy.
As my beautiful amazing baby lay dying in my arms i made her a promise to fight for awareness of the crippling condition of SMA. I promise again to you Georgie - I will. No words can express how much i love and miss you. In my heart you will always stay.
I am completely proud and grateful to have been Georgie's mummy. I want to say to Georgia "I'm so sorry and i didn't know". To have been part of Georgia's life has been a total priviledge and pleasure. Nothing could ever take away what Georgie has given me.
The people that didn't know Georgia very well have missed out on knowing a beautiful amazing baby that i know they will never have the priviledge of ever knowing again in their lives.
Life for me now will never be the same. In Gods care you rest above Georgia. In our hearts you rest with eternal love.
"A MOTHER HOLDS HER CHILDS HAND A WHILE, BUT THEIR HEART FOREVER"
Now rest my beautiful baby. No more struggling. You are now at peace. Sleep tight babycakes.
