The death has occurred of:
Nora Mae Haran Donaghey
Our precious little princess Nora Mae
Passed away 06.03.2025 peacefully in the arms of mummy and daddy at the Northern Ireland Children’s hospice. Watched over and cared for attentively by your big brother Regin and the most amazing selfless and unconditionally kind staff who became like family of the children’s hospice .
Your little hands so soft and still, I held them in my own,
Whilst wishing we had more than just a handprint coming home.
I studied every nail and line and every inch of you,
And cried for all the things your little hands would never do.
I’d never get to clean your hands, there’d be no messy play,
l’d never see your fingers point to things you’d try to say.?
I’d never hear the sound they’d make whilst splashing in the bath,
Or how they’d cover up your lips whilst trying not to laugh.
I wish so much I could have taught you how to write your name,
Or watched your little hands outstretched to play a catching game.
Your little hands would never feel a scrape or gain a scar,
Nor would they play an instrument or learn to drive a car.
Your little hands, my little hands, forever left unchanging,
No exploring, falling, climbing, drawing and no ageing,
My only wish for you and I is that we had more time,
’Cause I could have spent forever with your little hands in mine.
You were everything we dreamed of our shining light after such darkness you touched every heart that held you and we are so greatful for each and every moment you allowed us to have with you .
Where ever you are our love will find you forever our Disney princess Miss Nora Mae loved forever Daddy Mummy and big brothers angel Reuben ray and Regin Thomas x
