Twenty eight years ago today I lost my little boy...

[Elderflower14]

It still seems like yesterday.. He (Jack) was born prematurely and lived for two hours..
Stay Another Day was No 1.when he was born... I always manage to hear it on his birthday.. Today it was in the middle of Tescos when I was shopping with Mum and I started crying... He always seems to find a way of letting me know he is close... We've had feathers, ladybirds, and robins over the years.
Jack's buried in our family plot in a tiny village churchyard. There is another little boy K buried there who was stillborn a month before Ds2. I couldn't believe it this morning, as Mum pulled into the car park, a car pulled up in front of us. It was K's Mum. I gave her a hug and said to her that our boys obviously meant us to see each other this morning...💙 💙

Sending you lots of love. I love the name Jack.

Bless you, I am so sorry to read this.

I am so sorry for your loss. xx Thank you for sharing Jack's story.

This is so sad. My wee girl would be six. 28 years is so long and I'm so sorry you are still in so much pain. I hope that knowing Jack is keeping an eye out for you gives you some comfort.

Sorry for your loss and I hope sharing your story brings some small crumb of comfort.

Oh I am so sorry. Bless you, and little Jack.

Thank you for telling us about Jack, I am so sorry you only got such a short time together. Somewhere, out there, is a place where our loved ones watch us and send us little signs from time to time.

Lots of love to you today and every day, thank you for telling us about your precious son. What a lovely name Jack is.

Un-mumsnetty hug to you, op

Thank you for sharing Jack with us, and how lovely that you had that special moment with K's mum earlier. I so hope that you are able to have a peaceful, gentle day remembering your tiny boy. Sending love.

Thank you for telling us about Jack. X

I'm sorry that your Jack had such a short life - it sounds as if he left a lot of love behind him.
Thinking of him and of your family today.

Bless you OP and baby Jack. Love is eternal. xx

Sending you much love. Baby Jack knows he’s loved and not forgotten by his mum.
What a beautiful message he sent you 💐

You and Jack are in my thoughts, and how lovely that after all these years you got to meet K's Mum.

All blessings to little Jack and little K’s spirits. 💐💐💐❤️❤️❤️🕊🕊🕊

How terribly sad, but what a beautiful moment that you had, coincidentally meeting K’s mum. Both boys are up in heaven together, raising a pint to their wonderful mums and grandparents.

Sending you (and K's mum) lots of love xxxx

a force of love which operates in the world

So sorry for your loss, your little boy sounds like he was loved so much, I’m sure he felt that love in the time he was with you 💐

Thankyou for your kind messages... I have been given various candles by ds2 and friends over the years so I have got them lit... I buy angels as and when I see them and Jack gets one every Christmas... I have a very special spinning angel candle.. It has angels who spin round when you light the candle underneath.. I bought it in St Stephens Cathedral in Vienna just before Lockdown..

That’s a lovely way to remember him and keep him with you.

Sending you love ❤️✨

Thank you for sharing, sending you and Jack love
