The day that Matilda Mae was born I fell in love
The day that Matilda Mae was born I knew I would love her forever
The day that Matilda Mae was born I knew that she was the heart of me
The day that Matilda Mae was born she healed me
She was our miracle
She was sent to heal
She was our third child
Our second daughter
The day that Matilda Mae was born our family grew
The day that Matilda Mae was born I was so proud
I was a mummy to three beautiful children
Each with their own very special story to tell
The day that Matilda Mae was born I held her
I did not ever want to let her go
When I was not holding her
Her Daddy was
The day that Matilda Mae was born we did not want to let her go
The day that Matilda Mae was born we took her home in time for tea
The day that Matilda Mae was born she slept in my arms
The day that Matilda Mae was born I cried with tears of joy and adoration
Our beautiful baby girl was born
The day that Matilda Mae was born I did not notice the sunrise
The day that Matilda Mae was born I did not notice the sunset
All I noticed on that day was her
Matilda Mae
Our beautiful baby girl
So tiny
So new
So full of wonder
Those dark brown eyes
Shining from the first
Now burn into my soul each day
From photos of her face
Our daughter’s face
For photos and memories are all that we have
The day that Tilda was born was her first day
I am so grateful that it was not also her last
We had 9 precious months with Matilda Mae
Before she was taken too soon to the sky
I will never ever understand why our baby had to die
But I will for always treasure the memory of her
The awe and wonder she brought to our world
The love with which she filled the heart of our family
The cheeky smile now known by so many
I will treasure her for always
Love her forever
Always and forever
Our baby she’ll be
And I am so grateful
That on that very day
Matilda Mae’s precious first day
The day we honour her
Remember her
Celebrate her
I am so grateful that someone caught the moment that the sun came up

I think that I may keep it for our wedding day coming in August. I know I will be a bag of nerves on the morning and won’t be taking much of that in-so to have a keepsake for the sun rising on the day that will make us a ‘proper’ family will be lovely, plus we got engaged by the sea too so that sort of brings it full circle. Such a lovely post by the way, and what a perfect photo for you to have in your bedroom, especially with all meanings you have to the sea and the sky too xxx
September 21st 2013 because in the stunning surroundings of a farm in Ashbourne, I married the love of my life and our family began. Now, as we approach the time of becoming a family of 3, I want to fully appreciate the journey we’ve been taking xxx
My Abigail’s 1st day. this is stunning Jennie. xxx
I bought a ‘the day that’ for my godson, the picture of the morning he was born. It is beautiful. I know exactly who i would get a ‘the day that’ for, my son Toby, but im not sure which day. The day i last felt him move (2nd may 2010) the day i found out he had died (4th May 2010) the day he was born (6th May 2010) or the day we buried him. I would love to know what the start of all those days looked like, i hope they were beautiful starts, because all i remember is how dark and horrendous the rest of the days were.
So sorry for your loss Elizabeth. Especially as you mark all those anniversaries 🙁 xx
I have two days that I would choose, well, so many days, would it be the days my two sons graduated or will it be the day in the future that my eldest son gets married? or the day he and his fiancee moved into their first flat, or their first house? I don’t know.
I know that I will be visiting this website and buying presents for people from there. What a wonderful idea.
My little guys day of birth, I have always loved this idea and it would be such a beautiful reminder of our very special day.
I would pick my baby’s birthday, 3 May 2013, he was born in the early hours of the morning and I didn’t see daylight for another 2 days. This is such a beautiful idea and I hope you really enjoy your picture x
I would like the sunrise on the morning my son was born 27th may 2007 @ 12.30am. We were both asleep for sunrise that morning but we have enjoyed many a sunrise together since.
Beautiful post and I love these images…what an amazing idea. For me, the dates would have to be my two children’s birthdays. Both incredibly special for different reasons. What a lovely idea though – will certainly be looking at the website for gifts.
Would have to be the day my twins were born – 20th September 2011 🙂
A beautiful post Jennie and what an amazing picture to treasure xx
I love your photo Jebnie. I would choose the morning my first daughter was born and my life changed forever.
I would choose the day my son was born as he will be our only child and it will be a memory to treasure for ever
I would pick the day my daughter was born, what a beautiful keepsake these photos make, such a lovely idea x
Thank you for sharing this amazing idea. I have too many special dates I want photos of! It’s going to cost me a fortune
What a beautiful post and indeed, a beautiful image that you chose for Matilda’s sunrise. It would be have to be the birth date of one of my 4 children, or the due date of what would have been my ‘molar pregnancy’ baby’s due date. Off to look at the website now!
A few good friends are having babies this summer, so this would be a lovely present to give to one of them.
What a beautiful photo
I would choose the day my daughter, Lily, was born. All I remember of that morning is being wheeled down from the ward for my induction. Strapped up to the monitor, I couldn’t wander around and couldn’t pop outside to see the sun. It’d be lovely to see how beautiful it was on that day. x
I would definitely chose it as a gift for my gorgeous goddaughter who was just born on 21st April…I just had a quick look at the images, the only thing is that I would have to decide which one to take 🙂
I would pick my sons birthday as it’s the day our lives changed forever 🙂
My wedding day – the best day of my life 🙂
My beautiful Jett was born on 31st march 2014, he was a light in my heart, we sadly found him sleeping in gods arms this past Sunday 11th may, so suddenly with no chance to say goodbye, there are no words to describe the pain, no pill strong enough to take it away, just enough tears to fill an ocean.
The day that gave me this link as I contacted them about a memorial piece.
Thank you for taking the time to do things like this for people.

Has the completion closed now? I take it all have been notified 🙁 xx
