Aimee suffered leg pain for a number of years but we were always told she had growing pains, even though it was always the same leg. Christmas 2016 she had a wonderful time singing & dancing at her aunty Dawn's home with her dads family  yet upon returning to school started suffering headaches & vomiting plus the usual waking in the night with leg pain. We got told to get her eyes tested & just give her paracetamol for the leg pain. The pain at night got worse & she was getting excruciating pain in her bottom & leg. Several more visits to the doctors & hospital where everyone was saying they couldn’t find anything wrong with her. Finally a blood test was done & two days later on February 3rd 2017 we were called back for her to have an MRI scan. It was that night we were told she had cancer!  After 8 months fight anoplastic Ependymoma and just after her 8th birthday Aimee lost her battle on the night of 18 October 2017 the loss of my little girl so nearly broke me and the pain is still the same 3 months on but i now hide behind a smile and lie to myself that none of this happened but at some point everyday the truth comes knocking.all i want is Aimee back but know this wont happen so all I and you can do is help other families with there pain, for me the pain will.last a life time bit if i can stop one other dad feeling what i feel then i will be happy and so will Aimee. Rest R.I.P my baby xx

Well a year has passed and below is something I wrote for my Aimees annerversery.

If I had one moment for us to talk, to laugh and to hold you close again.

If I had just one moment to tell you I love you, tell you that I care, hear your voice and for this pain to stop, you took more than I can explain when you left.

Take me to your paradise and lets run in the sand and paddle in the sea again but we both know paradise has to wait for me.

A year has passed, you fought the hardest fight and im so very proud of your bravery all the way through.

I held you more that night than I ever held you in a month, I put your arms around for the last time, I never wanted to let you go when they came to take you away, I still see your face at rest for the first time in 8 months.

seeing you go was like nothing I can explain, apart from feeling I couldnt live without you.

Where ever I go I take you with me.

See you in paradise sometime Aimee I will love you for the rest of my life and will nerver forget you xx
