FINDING SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

29/9/2018

0 Comments

 
FRIDAY-I was having doubts about a very enormous and deeply personal project I have on the go right now. I had to post a mearfest t-shirt (thank you to Khalil Donaghey) and some tickets for our next event on the 13th October in South Shields. I took Amélie with me and we did our normal route. I always hand over any letters to our post office lady, along with the packages before they have been weighed. Today, I was drawn to post it in the letter box out side. 

I noticed a rock sitting on the top, nosey as ever I picked it up to have a good look. Imagine my surprise when I was holding this amazing piece of street art, painted with all the colours of the rainbow, very significant to Brian and myself with Amélie being our rainbow baby, but it had a specific message. This message is normally the same message I say to others .... 

BELIEVE
Picture
A few years back a good friend of mine in California went round leaving pieces of anonymous art in her area, who ever picked it up could keep it. They all had supportive positive messages for the recipient. I wanted to find one of these here in the UK so much 

Finding this yesterday was a gift to me

Whoever you are BUCKY ROCKS (we live in Buckinghamshire)
THANK YOU THIS MADE MY DAY.

Rainbows End by Brian Mear
You came to us at last
Through blackened swollen heavens
And dark tempestuous skies
In a hundred forms of light you shone
A spectrum of pure colour
An Athenian angel formed and fused
Within the cauldron of fire and hope
Emblazoned with pure love
Kissed by the lips of divinity

MADE IN ATHENS-19TH SEPTEMBER 2016

19/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Not many people can say they know the exact day their baby was created
We were so fortunate to experience this with Amélie via IVF In Athens Greece.


This was our first attempt and our very last hope, it was all or nothing!
Day one of her creation was the 19th September 2016

We were blessed with five perfect blastocysts 
Two transferred at day five of their life 
Seeing them flying in on a clear screen was such an incredible experience 
​Sadly, we lost one baby at 5 weeks, the worrying continued
The second was Amélie, who fought her way through to the incredible little girl she is today. It worked.

​19th September 2018 officially Amélie is 2 years old, 730 days, 17520 hours, 1051200 minutes of forming, growing, heartbeats, developing, good movement, no movements, many scares, praying, fear, praying, believing, trusting, being born, amazement, thanking this universe for giving her to us, she has given us unbelievable joy (and not much sleep.) Nothing will ever be the same again. 

​
On the 22nd May 2017 the day Amélie was born I finally became a mother
I was 50 years 3 months 10 days 12 hours and 25 minutes old.


DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE TOO OLD...
(This includes specialist doctors, fertility experts, friends and family, we had all this)  


​GO GET YOUR DREAM, WHATEVER IT IS, IT CAN BE DONE.

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN-MEARFEST PROMO VIDEO

13/9/2018

4 Comments

 
We are proud to launch our first ever MEARFEST promotion video, created by the ever talented Duncan Binnie from the fantastic North East band MANDORA. 
Who will be playing for us at Mearfest North 13th October at The Queen Vic South Shields. 

Duncan has kindly pieced together a heart warming collection of photographs of Mearfest supporters wearing all the MOLLY SHIRT colours from over the last two years.

This film shows all the love and support we have received from so many people all over the world.
It has truly blown us away to see Mollys hand on so many t-shirts and also behind every band who has played for us live, she lives on in all of us.
We hope what we do raises awareness to the plight of stillbirth.
It can and does happen to anyone from any age or background.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Duncan.

We were given kind permission to use this song by a new band called Stuckfish, who will also be playing our next Mearfest event.
Brian has been an avid fan of this band for a while now.
They are soon releasing their debut album STUCKFISH CALLING 

​
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Philip Stuckey

MOLLY IN ISLE OF WHITE

On this date last year Shaz and Andro Culton, broke their journey home from the Isle of Wight, to visit us and our new addition Amélie Mear.
We all had the most wonderful time.

This year they decided to take Molly and Mearfest with them to the Isle of Wight.
Seeing birds of prey, holding snakes, they rode on a steam train, visited Arreton Barns and Sandown seafront.

​THANK YOU so much, for taking our Molly out for the day guys.

LISTEN FOR THOSE SIGNS

2/9/2018

0 Comments

 

The last time we did MEARFEST in Newcastle was in March 2017
We both walked into the hotel after 6 hours of driving, and this was playing 

It was the theme to Amélie the film for which our second miracle baby is named after. it is one of my all time best films 
I have had the Japanese poster on my wall for over twenty years 

I saw this as a sign she will be coming, that everything would be alright.
This was the moment we decided to brave it and go public and tell everyone on facebook that that day 4th march 2017, I was 50 years and 1 month old
I was also 25 weeks pregnant
​Terrifying & electrifying


GO FIND YOUR DREAM ITS OUT THERE WAITING
