20.01.2022 "I dont know how to let you go. I can't say goodbye yet. I can't breathe without you. We are broken without you. Everything is so broken. I can't leave you yet, I just want to kiss and hold you forever last night was never going to be long enough and today is just a blur. You were too good for this world and I know you were needed somewhere else, but we needed you more. My heart and my soul has died with you. You are so loved. You changed the lives of so many people. You will... never be forgotten. We will never let go. Forever young, forever loved, forever our baby girl. Beautiful little warrior, you will always be stronger than i could ever be. Sleep well our angel and go fly with your beautiful birdies that you loved so very much. Heidi Claire Smith. 15.04.2019 - 19.06.2020' https://www.facebook.com/1285440979/posts/10217244733332130/

18.01.2022 Today marks another month that has passed without you in my arms. I wake up and just like every other morning for the past three months, my first thought is yo...u, my first instinct is to listen for you stirring in your cot and my first emotion is absolute heartbreak when I remember that you aren't in there. For a spilt moment, everytime I wake up, i forget that you died. I forget and even though it's so very brief, when it all comes flooding back and I realise it wasnt a bad dream, its like I lose you again, every single day. Three months..92 days to be exact.. I cant even describe how much my world has changed in such a short time. I dont recognise my life and It honestly feels as though time is moving in slow motion. I dont even feel like the same person anymore, a part of who I was, died and was buried with you and the person who is left behind is trying to keep it together and put on that brave face like you did, because without it, there's not alot left. The ache of losing you only gets stronger and harder to hide as time passes along. I wonder how you would look now, what words you'd have learnt, how well you could walk. I touch your toys and teddies, looking for echo's of your fingertips, smell your clothes and blankets, hoping to just be taken to a moment where you were wrapped in them. Its never going to get easier and I will never stop looking for you in every moment of my life, but I will try to be strong like you were and live through this life without you, making every moment count with your sister, just hoping that you will be waiting there for me in the next one. I love you Heidi Claire.

09.01.2022 There are two days left to place an order, please help support us in our mission to raise awareness of this horrible disease and funds for a family going through the hardest time of their lives, thankyou.

07.01.2022 Hey everyone, I have created this page to raise funds for little Heidi and her Family. It is going to be a marathon not a sprint and over this time I will be posting several fundraisers, sale items, and raffles that will all be COVID safe and mostly all done online so there is no pressure or risk involved in still coming together and doing what we can to help Little princess Heidi Claire Smith *1 year of age* was found to have a very rare and aggressive form of pediatric can...cer. It is called AT/RT, which stands for Atypical Terratoid Rhabdoid Tumour. This type of tumour needs a very aggressive form of treatment to try and give her the best fighting chance. Heidi is about to go through a very intensive schedule of chemotherapy, that consists on many different types of chemo drugs in a 3 weekly cycle for the next 12 months. She will also begin radiation therapy after the first two cycles of chemo for 6 weeks, for 5 days a week. Its not going to be an easy battle for this princess to go through, or for us to see her go through. But we know with all our hearts she is such an amazing, strong and resilient girl and she will fight with everything she has and we will fight along side her every step of the way. #HopeForHeidi

02.01.2022 "This isn't easy. Seeing her so sick, feeling her fear and hearing her pain. Heartbreaking anguish, day after day, fighting to make her better, by making her feel worse..its a hard concept to get our heads around. She is at a low point in her treatment right now, its taking its toll, but this is just the beginning..regardless, she is always fighting and I just know that soon she will pick herself back up and give us that cheeky smile again.. I cant wait to see her sparkle again " #HopeForHeidi

01.01.2022 Imagine being told your child is seriously ill. Imagine crying until you think there’s nothing left. Imagine feeling like you’ve been punched in the stomach and wandering the corridors, as if your life was on pause for days on end, not able to comprehend what is happening.... Imagine signing a consent form knowing that death is an option. Imagine having to hand over your child to surgeons for endless hours and waiting Imagine having to watch as your once active child isn’t even able to open their eyes for a week. Imagine the terror Imagine the pain of having to leave your baby in the care of strangers and not being able to sleep by their side. Imagine standing by as your baby’s body is pumped full of poison. Imagine holding your baby while someone holds a mask over their face as they struggle in fright. Imagine holding your baby countless times while someone sticks needles in them while they scream. Imagine the guilt Imagine being told the percentage chance that your child might survive or leave you. Imagine holding back the tears when your other child is carried away from you screaming mummy not understanding why you won’t come home. Imagine watching as within two days your child loses all their hair. Imagine losing all your independence and identity and just becoming someone’s Mummy. Imagine not being able to leave the house for fear of infection. Imagine not being to able to make any plans apart from hospital visits. Imagine being stuck in isolation and not seeing anything but four walls for days on end. Imagine learning a whole new vocabulary of words which is all you talk about anymore. Imagine good friends being too uncomfortable to see you or speak to you anymore. Imagine the loneliness Imagine perfect strangers passing comment about your child But with the emptiness Imagine the kindness of strangers who don’t know you Imagine the incredible support from people you’ve never met but know how it feels. Imagine how special each cuddle is that you feel the need to memorise it. Imagine the magic of each smile knowing that that smile could be lost forever.. Imagine how fragile and precious life feels September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, if I hadn’t told you, would you have known? It’s swept under the carpet as a taboo subject. Imagine if it couldn’t be taboo in your world, because it was your world Imagine if I had known the symptoms, Imagine if all GPs knew the symptoms, Imagine if you felt you had the power to help others, to not be in the same position Imagine Don’t pity, don’t sympathise, just spread awareness and just imagine, because it could be you .. #childhoodcancerawareness #gogoldinseptemeber #ATRT #findacure #hopeforheidi
