Ellie Princess Stockwell

My Precious Princess My brave little Granddaughter who lost her fight with Cancer on Oct 7th 2007. I
miss her so much. This is my tribute to My brave little Princess
from the proudest Nanna Ever.
I knew Ellie was going to be a girl whilst her Mum was still carrying her no idea how i knew but
after 3 lovely Sons a girl was the icing on the cake .I have her scan picture and I wrote on it My
Princess and dated it and her Mum still had 4 mths to go . On
8th August,, Ellie came into this world Gorgeous!!!! .Right all pretty dresses and little shoes was
on the agenda .Not for long though as soon as Ellie could choose herself it was jeans & trainers as
bad as the boys lol.She had her own opinions at an early age and let you know it ,,,She was my
shadow i washed the dishes Ellie dried always by my side if not in my bed.Ellie was a treasure to be
with ,,,,Her cheeky smile would melt your heart and she soon had you wrapped around her
finger,,,,,,
Ellie came for a holiday to Malta and wasnt well on her return to the Uk she was admitted to
hospital and after suspected appendicities the outcome was that Ellie had suspected Leukemia after
numerous tests D day arrived ,,,,.On Andys( Ellies Daddy )Birthday April 27th 2005 we took Ellie to
find out the test results .How can your brain fool you all the signs were there but I refused to
believe it could happen to Her !!!!!!! .Andy ,Ellie sleeping on
my knees due to the morphine & all the medication and I went into the Drs room and he asked me to
take Ellie outside i still didnt click what was happening .I sat staring at Ellie and the door
handle waiting for Andrew to come out and say its all a mistake .Well Andy came out about 45 mins
later and I said is it Leukemia he said no and for 1 sec my heart jumped Thank God i thought till
Andy said I wish it was.His eyes red from crying his face is still very vivid .

It was Neuroblastoma Ellie the Drs said had a 20-25 percent chance of surviving the terrible illness
. She went through hell as we all did my heart would bleed watching her .She was too young to go
through all that pain ,,,,Why Her !!!!! I asked every day & prayed leave her alone Take me please
but just leave her alone .,,,The one & only thing she complained about and she really hated was the
feed tube in her nose .( Nanna worked that out didnt i Ellie ),,,,,All though the odds was against
her she survived this and went into remmision for around 12 weeks.That was Ellie stack the odds
against her and boy would she fight .

December 2006 ,
Ellie was readmitted to hospital to the worst news anyone would ever want to hear It was back and
terminal I felt like someone had put a knife through my heart ,,,,,,.We were all totally devastated
Back to fighting but against no odds this time .She fought like crazy for 10 months and sadly the
Cancer won .When she was very close to dying i went back to Malta did i want to see her actually go?
I was terrified at the thought of losing her.I still did not want to believe it,,,,,, Sounds crazy i
know but the thought of it actually occuring terrified me ,, So Two flights in less than 18 hours
back to the Uk and im glad i did .All of us was with her no one knowing what to say or do ,,, I
rubbed her little ears as this is how she used to sleep & cuddled her tight willing her to remain
with us .The worst thing i have ever seen in my whole life Seeing her laid there and being utterly
useless was agonising.,,, The nurse told me she had waited for me to be there .No idea if it was
true but nice of her to say it I really believe she did .......Im the proudest Nanna ever to have
known My Precious Princess even for way too short a time .She graced this earth not long enough .She
is one in a million in my eyes always was & always will be .
Shes Loved way to Deeply ever to be forgotten .I pray shes happy with her little Angel Friends as
she really deserves Happiness.Shes My Love, My life, My Princess .xxxxxxx
