So desperately sad, the lovely poster TwittleBee’s beautiful baby son Roy devastatingly died just five days after his birth, there really are no words, we are incredibly sorry that life has been so cruel to him, them, his big brother, to them all. We send so much love and are keeping them all in our thoughts. Twittle has been supported by her wonderful friends over on their September 2019 antenatal thread over here.
We were so glad when lovely Twittle accepted our offer of a Woolly Hug, together we can make something very beautiful for them all, for his life filled with love. We hope you will help us.
Lovely Twittle has given us some beautiful insights
“I'll share a bit about who he was, is and was meant to be... Our little Roy was our Rainbow baby (just taken by a storm too soon) and he was our little fox too, he was meant to be coming home to a woodland fox themed nursery. His ashes are scattered by drift wood and fallen trees on the beautiful wild beach. He was meant to be all wrapped up in blues, a proper little boy. I don't know if that may help for inspiration? “
It certainly does, doesn’t it?
We shall need crocheters, knitters and donors. If you would like to donate wool or funds, we can match you up. If you would like to join in but need donated wool, we can help there too. Please message with your offer of help.
