Today would have been Jack's 26th Birthday. Candles are lit...

[Elderflower14]

My oldest son Jack was born prematurely 26 years ago today... He lived for only two hours... Not a day goes by that I don't think of him...
Mum and I went to his grave today.. He's buried in our family plot in the grounds of the church where his Dadda and I got married. We chose a spot next to my Grandads brother and sister who died when they were children...
😔 😔 😔
So many lovely friends on Facebook all over the world have candles lit...
I often wonder what he would be doing now.. Would he be married? Would I be a Granny by now... His brother wanted to be home tomorrow and we were going to his grave together but Tier 4 put the kybosh on that...

I will light a candle for Jack and your DH tonight.

Thinking of you and your family

I'm reading this after coming to bed and have missed the opportunity to light a candle. I'm certainly thinking about Jack though. 🕯️

Happy birthday Jack

Bless you OP

I'm so sorry x

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I have also lit a candle and said a prayer.

Oh Elderflower14... prayers for you and DS2, living with loss. And prayers for Jack on his birthday and for your DH. May they rest in peace.

Thinking of you and your family.
My daughter would have been 23 this year but she was stillborn at twenty four weeks. I often wonder what she would be doing now as well.

Candle for Jack and huge hugs @Elderflower14 - you have been through such hard times x

Happy birthday to your precious little baby Jack. Thinking of you

Much love. Thinking of you and W tonight.

For your Jack, Zain, Tuesday's baby girl, and my Louie, who was born 14th November at 21+4 weeks and lived for an hour and a half.

They only ever knew love.

💙🕯️💙🕯️❤️🕯️💙🕯️

Love to everyone who has lost someone they love.

Thank you for sharing with us about your son Jack. My first baby died - I wonder what he would be like, what he would become. Sending love

Thinking off you ❤️

Happy Birthday Jack 🎈🎂

After losing my daughter in a tragic accident in 2019 a lovely friend sent me this:

If Christmas is hard,
If you’ve lost someone dear.
Just look in your heart,
And you’ll know they’re still here.

The star in the sky,
The light falling snow.
The robin outside,
It seems like they know.

If this is a time,
When your struggling through.
Just do what you can,
For what matters is you.

There’s no need to be Merry,
There’s no need to be bright.
Just do what you can,
It will all be alright.

Although it’s about Christmas I try too adjust it too all situations when life gets hard xxx

A candle for your girl 🕯️❤️

I lay in my bed with tears rolling down my cheeks reading all your posts. A big big hug to all of you living with the loss of your beautiful children...the most purest form of love they are aren't they. How incredibly strong you all are.

Thinking of all of you tonight and your beautiful children

Thank you and for you. That sentence is very true, my midwife said that to me.
For everyone who sadly has lost someone. This time of year is hard 💕💜💕

I'll be thinking of Jack tonight. My twin sons were born at 24w and lived for a week, they would be 8 now. I'll never forget them and I know you'll always keep thinking about Jack.
