This one's for Mea...

I'm extremely blessed to have wonderful friends and even more blessed that five of us have been pregnant together. Just before I was supposed to write my next post a few weeks ago, I learnt that one of my dearest friends, Tanya, was having trouble with her pregnancy. 

She went into premature labour and then developed pneumonia so she was in hospital for some time. At that point, I didn't feel right about writing about Wren-Lee when I was so worried about Tanya and baby Mea. 

Fortunately, Tanya recovered well and eventually was discharged. A mere 24 hours later, she was readmitted and Mea had to be prematurely delivered at only 26 weeks of gestation. Sadly, Mea deteriorated rapidly after birth and passed away a few hours later. 

Our circle of friends is heartbroken for Tanya and Louis. We were also excited for the little girl who would be the youngest of our brood. Many tears were shed at Mea's beautiful memorial service and we continue to keep Tanya and Louis in our prayers as they slowly process and recover from this tragedy. 

Mea, you were and are still loved by so many. You left this world completely pure and innocent and we hope you are happy and safe. 

We miss you...
