Well, it was the Saturday before my birthday when I asked my mum if I could have my birthday presents early. I know all kids (and some adults) do this, but I really needed mine before my birthday. Normally, my mum wouldn't have given in, but she did. I got two baby rabbits and a lovely hutch from the garden centre. One rabbit was black and I called this one Treacle and the other was brown so I called this one Toffee. I was now a proud parent of my own little children that I would spend lots of time with over the coming week.
Mum said they were never to come into the house, but they came in lots and lots. Mum said I had to promise to keep the hutch clean which I did all the time. Mum didn't realize that I had thrown the rabbit droppings over next door's fence. She did suss me out a few days later and told me off about it. I saw her smirking as she walked away.
Mum took me shopping for clothes for my big day on 17th May 2007. I bought a lovely patterned tunic, a pair of leggings, some flat shoes (because I was tall), some earrings and a necklace. Mum then asked me if I could think of anything I would like to open on the day. I said that I would like some perfume and we spent a while in the chemist smelling all the different ones until they all smelt the same. I went back to one which I loved. It was Touch of Pink by Lacoste. Mum wanted to wrap it up but I begged her to let me have a spray of it when we got back home. It didn't get wrapped up. I even came downstairs wearing all my new clothes. Mum asked me to put them away until my party. I hung them in my wardrobe after having a good look at myself in the mirror.
I did get to wear these clothes and my new jewellery. I was in The Chapel of Rest.
My daughter, Danielle Watson was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 7 years old. She was one of many in our family with this hereditary condition. I have Type 1 and use an Insulin Pump to help to control my own diabetes. This story is about my beautiful daughter and how my life changed dramatically when my angel died in her sleep. The cause of death was Dead In Bed Syndrome. I write more on this subject on another blog as I have many questions.
