This memorial website was created to honour and remember my darling and my beautiful first born baby girl, Monique Ashleigh Drabble who was born in Australia at Mitcham Private Hospital on Tuesday August 15, 10.22am, 1989 weighing only 6lb 8oz..so petite and tiny and so perfect, fitting into little cabbage patch dolls clothes.. My little girl, Monique passed away so suddenly and so tragically on Sunday August 6, 2006. Monique, my baby, you will live forever and forever in my memories and in my heart and in my soul.   To lose you is beyond any words I know.  I pray every day we will all be together again..forever.  My heart is broken. 

We were and will always be the three musketeers!!

My dearest first born beautiful baby girl.  You smiled at me at 5 weeks of age on the change table and from that moment on Monique, you never stopped beaming your gorgeous radient smile to all and to everyone that met you.   I was blessed.

You got your first little pet, Basil the (kitten) pussycat, when you were 9 months old and you just so loved chasing him around the house in your baby walker saying "meow".. You amazed everyone when you walked at 9 months old, up on your tippy toes and from then on, always on your tippy toes.  Oh how I worried about your archilles tendons.

I always knew you were the most beautiful, gorgeous and cleverist baby in this world.  People just stopped on the street to comment on how beautiful a baby/little girl and then young woman you were.  You charmed them all with your gorgeous smile.  It wasn't just your family that loved you, but everyone you touched that adored you.  You had such a presense and aura, which drew people to you. 

Monique, you gave me so much joy and so much love and everyone else that you touched on this earth as well.  You loved and lived your short life with such a passion. 

Your zest and passion for life on earth and your loyalty to your family and your very dearest friends will be forever and ever remembered and missed.  You made this world such a better place to be and now, well, without you Monique, there is just this huge gaping hole left.  I don't and can't understand why, and I will never ever understand why, nor can I accept it. 

Give Basil, Bunsie, floppsy, moppsy, jason, chloe, Emma and squid the hugest cuddle from Jassy and I.. We will see you soon my beautiful girl and we love and adore you so much and we miss you so bad Monique.   xxxoooxxxooxxooxxooxxooxxooxxooxxooxxooxxooxoxx
