Jessika Heather Burton Docherty August 29, 2001 - November 9, 2001

Her Story Jessika Heather Burton Docherty changed the world on 29th August 2001 when she was born in a small room in a hospital in Glasgow. She was placed on my tummy and I was so overwhelmed with love and awe at God creation, that I forgot to find out what sex she was! She was my baby! Her daddy and I were very pleasantly surprised when we eventually learned she was a little lady. I breastfed Heather minutes after being born, and she was a little pro at it. Excellent at latching on and sucking away. It grew to be one of her favourite places – snuggled into mummy, feeding from her and being held securely. It was my favourite time with her too. The next ten weeks were the most perfect her dad and I had ever experienced. I described motherhood as “a taste of Heaven here on earth”. I loved sharing baths with her. She was a little water baby, she used to kick her legs, and try to say the words “splash” (sounded more like “gay-o” but I knew just what she meant). And she always smiled her biggest in the bath. I would pour warm water over her tummy, and she loved it. My husband Rene was besotted with her. When he came from work he’d go rushing to see her, and Heather was always excited to see him. I will always remember the day he came home, she was in her baby bouncer chair, and he sat down and started making baby noises to her, and she chatted right back to him! She learned so many new sounds in her short life, and saved them all for her daddy. She just loved to talk to him. I stayed home with Heather all day every day, and I loved every minute of it. She was perfect. She was my best friend. My princess. My sparkle Queen. I couldn’t go anywhere without her. We were always together. People criticised me for it, but I am so glad I went with my gut instinct and took ever precious second of her life, and treasured it. I always said she was not something I created, but a gift from God. She was never mine. And she was too perfect for this world. Heather passed away safe and warm in her daddy’s arms in the small hours of the morning on Friday 9th November 2001. My heart is in Heaven with her, and one day my spirit will be too. And we’ll never have to say goodbye again. The day we meet again will be the greatest, and I put my hope in that day. The world has changed for the better since having been blessed with such perfection for 10 short weeks, and Heaven became a more beautiful place than it already was on November 9th 2001. Heather, you stole my heart. You are perfect. I am so proud of you. I love you forever. Mum XXX
