Princess winters story

I lay this morning still and awake thinking of winter and I decided to write a story to put on the memorial page for her so I thought I'd share it.

The butterfly princess

Once upon a time there were 2 people who dreamt of having a baby, they dreamt this same dream for a long time although after years of trying this dream seemed out of reach until one day to their surprise 2 lines appeared and their dream became a reality.

They were so excited and guessing started as to whether they would have a little Prince or princess, one of them was convinced they would have a prince and after waiting a long 16 weeks they went to see there dream with there own eyes to see if they should prepare for a prince or indeed a princess. After the nervous wait to find out it was confirmed a princess was on the way everyone was so excited and it came time to think of a name for the Princess that till this moment had been known as bubba, names were suggested and decided against until they stumbled upon the most beautiful one Winter Scarlett Hutchinson it seemed so perfect.

More weeks went by and the excitement grow, excitment to meet the little princess, hold her, see how beautiful she was. During the coming weeks lots of things needed sorting, all the little princesses things needed buying, practical things she would need and beautiful robes to dress her in.

On April 2nd 2015 the time had finally come to head to the hospital, finally they were going to hold in their arms the dream they had long for and desired, it was a nervous wait but finally it was our turn, both scared and excited they where taken into a big room and she was prepared for the surgery about to take place, now this surgery didn't go as smoothly as she had expected and both of them experienced fear they had never felt before, complications arouse that needed sorting after the Princess had arrived and the scariest part of all was the Princess as she wasn't breathing as she should have been, they both waited anxiously with her laying on the bed head turned as far to where the Princess was as possible, in the end the Princess was fine, maybe she wanted to make her entrance as memorable as possible.

They both got to hold there beautiful princess wrapped in blankets and a little pink hat, they were now mummy and daddy finally, mummy thought princess winter looked like a caterpillar wrapped up like that and she beamed with happiness as she saw daddy cradle Prince winter in his arms and look down on her with such pride and admiration. After an extended stay in the hospital mummy and daddy got to take princess winter home to her palace and visitors came from far and wide to say how beautiful she was, and she was, she had loads of dark hair and a cute button nose, she was perfect in everyway.

Finally back at the palace their dream had come true, they were going to love happily ever after and they did for 5 weeks and 4 days.

Now not all fairytales have a happy ending and unfortunately this was one of those, on the morning of may 11th 2015 thr palace awoke to find the Princess not herself, she was cold, tired and didn't want to eat, mummy and daddy decided a trip.to the doctors for the Princess was in order, after daddy went to work mummy got dressed and got princess winter dressed too and headed out to see the doctor, we waited for the doctor and the fear inside mummy grew, something was very wrong princess winter was not breathing as she should be, mummy thought to herself I bet later tonight I'll laugh at the scare this little princess is giving me, within mins this perfect dream turned into the worst nightmare. In mummy's arms she felt the Princess was not breathing anymore, she lifted the Princess up to her face and has never felt fear that gripped her entire body until then, everyone rushed around and took the Princess away to help her.

After what felt like a lifetime we were moved from the doctors onto an ambulance to rush the Princess to the hospital, daddy was rushing back from work to be by the Princesses side. The time in the hospital was a blur of confusion, people running around, saying to many things to follow, mummy's fear continued to grow as she felt this dream they longed for was once again slipping away, daddy arrived as they were telling mummy the bad news, they had tried so hard but they could not save the little princess and told mummy and daddy they would need to say goodbye, now goodbyes are never easy I know but this particular goodbye was the hardest of both their lives, they held princess winter on their arms, gave her all the kisses they could, begged and pleaded with her not to leave them but she could not stay any longer.

Lots of people came to the hospital and gathered in a room around the beautiful princess winter who lay in a beautiful crib, an awful sadness filled the entire room, people hugged and cried they all spent some time with the beautiful princess giving her their last cuddles and kisses.

As the weeks passed the pain remained but the day to say one final goodbye to the Princess arrived, people all over the world showed their support lighting candles, people knew the name winter scarlett Hutchinson across the globe and this offered a little bit of comfort to mummy and daddy, princess winter came into the church in her daddy's arms and he laid her at the front where she would remain as people talked about what an amazing little princess winter was, everyone wept and some candles were lit.

After the church daddy had to be strong once more time as in his arms lay a beautiful princess on the way to her forever bed.

Winter scarlett Hutchinson was a real princess and loved by so many, people think of her still often and mummy decided she was now a butterfly, a butterfly princess.
