Louise and Andy Porter lost their beautiful daughter Evie to Type 1 SMA in August 2005. This lovely poem was written by her mum Louise and was read at the memorial service in December: Sunshine Girl
Memories of you, my sweet babe.
Fridays child, bursting into the world
On a warm May night,
My sunshine girl.
I see you banging your drum,
Eyes wide with joy at the noise,
Golden hair haloing
Your smiling face.
I hear your sing-song voice,
Sounding your words;
Your throaty giggle,
and your gentle cry in the night.
I stroke your velvet skin,
And kiss your warm neck
as you curl up beside me to sleep.
Gentle girl
So loved.
Held safe in my heart.
