A Tribute For Our Baby 'Areiawa Harlow Hooper''

A Tribute For Our Baby 'Areiawa Harlow Hooper'' In loving memory of our beautiful daughter,
Areiawa Harlow Hooper. Dedicated to our beautiful daughter, Areiawa Harlow Hooper.

You continue to exist in all that is beautiful in this world we live in. You continue to Inspire Mummy & Dadda, by the incredibly loving person that you are, and in the way you lived life so fearlessly. You continue to be the true blessing we are forever thankful for. Mummy & Dadda are so proud of you bubba, and we are forever blessed and thankful to have you as our daughter. We love you and miss you so much my baby. I know you are with us always..I look forward to the day I get to come home and hold you in my arms, never having to let go again. We have started this page, to honour and celebrate the beautiful life of our daughter, Miss Arei. June 2013, our whole world came crashing down. Our baby suddenly passed away from an acute asthma attack, at Waikato Hospital. Our baby was not known to be asthmatic, yet this silent killer illness took her precious life. A parents worst nightmare – and it has happened to us. We live in the struggle everyday, trying to make sense of it all. Dealing with grief and life in general, is overwhelming and extremely challenging, beyond words. Arei is the reason why life's purpose made sense to us. Arei is the unconditional love and happiness that we longed for – and nothing can take that away from us – not even the human mind of our despair and grief can break that bond. The Love we have for our little girl is our strength, and it's all we need to help us to make a difference. Giving up is not an option – so we chose to honor our baby's life and uphold Arei's legacy, as it is one of hope! We all, either have or know of someone with asthma. Help us on our journey to raising asthma awareness in Children. Many Blessings, Love & Light
Areiawa & Whanau

.. September 15th, 2015.
It started off with me wanting to have the same last name as my big girl. It had been two years since her passing, and I wanted so badly to have the Hooper name. I said to Matt 'let's get married?!' and he said 'okay' LOL. So that's what we did. We told our parents, siblings and their partners and a few whānau that were around at that time, and a week later we were saying 'I do' πŸ’ž

Matt and I, were still very much in our own little bubble and the feeling of celebrating was something far from our minds. We went ahead with a very lowkey ceremony at home. Our beautiful aunty Barb Maxine kindly took on the celebrant role, all in a week's notice ❀️
.To all our beautiful whānau and friends - Matt & I, were in a different space at that time. We know many were disappointed not to be included, but please know that it was not our intention. You know who you all are, and we love you β™₯️
.Happy 10 year wedding anniversary huny Matt Hooper πŸ’ž Thank you for sticking by me through all the dark times. I know I am a handful, and we have been through so much together, but I appreciate you and I thank you for giving me my beautiful babies. You are a kind and loving husband, and I'm so grateful to have you by my sideπŸ™πŸ½ To many more my love 😘

..I spent the morning by my beautiful girl, after the big pour down last night. A good little clean up, and managed to rearrange all the pretty flowers surrounding Arei and our whānau. While doing so, I noticed some dark & light blue flowers in her vase. Thank you, to whoever gave them πŸ’™πŸ©΅ I'd love to know who? ☺️

πŸ’œ I love you my darling, Areiawa πŸ’œ

12 years of watching you through the screen
12 years of listening to your voice on repeat
12 years of asking for you back
12 long years of missing you
12 years ago today, at 3:45am you took your last precious breath, while I held you in my arms πŸ˜”

Oh, what we would give to have you here with us, my beautiful girl.

I am always overcome with a sense of calmness, when I spend time with you at your magical resting place. Thank you my darling, for working so hard to show me you are near.

I think of how far we have come during this journey of yearning for you. The price we pay because you're our everything, and always will be πŸ’œ

Your darling siblings always include you in their conversations. Your two younger brothers like to add you in their superhero comic stories, and they're really funny! They find their own special ways to include you in daily life, and this always warms my heart up.

You are forever cherished
You are forever celebrated
You are so loved πŸ’œAreiawaπŸ’œ

I love you with all my heart ❀️
