Default HD's Very sad news - NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
On Monday May 4th 2009 our beautiful baby daughter passed away. Due to complications with a placenta abruption our angel was taken from us. My wife's pregnancy was in it's 36th week and she was due June 4th.

About 3-4 months ago Gabriel (our 2 1/2 year old son) gave our baby the name "Butter" we do not know why he picked this name but it stuck as our nickname for her. We didn't have a name finalized and this was how we were referring to her.

Butter Pauline Fawcett was born May 4th 2009 at 5:19am, she weighed 5 lbs 3 ozs and was 19.5 inches long. She looked very much like her older brother Gabriel did as a newborn. She was perfect. We held her for 4.5 hours, this time was very precious.

Butter's obituary will be in tomorrow's (May 6th) Chronicle Herald.

To me this Flames message board is just more than a bunch of strangers ranting back and forth. I have met a few of you in person and have also made many friends sight unseen. This is why I feel comfortable enough to share my story and pain with you all.

I will be around but may not be very active for a while.

Mike (HD)

Horrible horrible news, Mike. Your little boy will be the biggest help in getting through this. We lost a baby two years ago and it hurts more than most can imagine, but you get through it. Best of luck, HD. You'll be in our thoughts.

That's very upsetting news, HD. All the best to you and don't be shy about taking all the time you need away from work/obligations. That's a tough deal man.
