We're dropping you a quick note as someone that very kindly made a donation in Sophia's memory, and because you also said that you were happy to receive updates from us.

It is now a month since Sophia's funeral and seven weeks since the terrible day that our daughter left us. We are no closer to understanding what happened, and we have been forewarned that we may never get an answer.

One tragedy of cot death is that it can happen without warning, without a chance to say goodbye, and when it happens you are more often than not unable to be provided with a reason even after a post-mortem. It's something that you NEVER think will happen to you, but once it does you are forever a grieving parent.

We said at the time that words cannot express how we feel, and probably never will. It's safe to say that this is still true.

One crutch of support during this terrible time has been the awesome support we have received from watching the donations come in for both of our nominated charities. We have been absolutely, truly overawed by what you have helped us raise. When we set them up we had no idea that we could raise what we have. As we write this you have helped us raise the following:

Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths - £1343

Great Western Air Ambulance - £1302

That's £2645 altogether. It will never replace our daughter, and we wish dearly that we weren't fundraising in memory of her, but we hope that the funds raised will provide some good from all of this. The FSID, as a beacon of support to families who are going through what we are, providing a voice at the end of the phone and striving to help us get better answers for why this happens to our babies; and the Air Ambulance as a beacon of hope to those in urgent need in a time of emergency.

We could not have raised this without your help. It will always be too late to save Sophia, but we wish with all our hearts that it prevents another family going through the unspeakable pain that is losing a child.

THANK YOU for playing a part in helping us through the darkest period in our lives so far.

Robert, Lucinda and Archie
