Hello all,

GoJetterBoy after 2 years of fighting has finally lost the energy to fight, I’m currently sat with him in hospital, having come in a few days earlier for pain management.

I really need a handhold right now...

I so very rarely post - but I wanted to join the chorus of people thinking of you and your special little boy xx

CoffeeandChocolateplease · 24/02/2020 16:59

You both sound wonderful and I am sending virtual hugs to you both. Hand holding for as long as you need.

Sending you and him so so SO much love and some gentle (((hugs)))

He sounds like a wonderful special little boy and what a wonderful mum you are. Hold his hand, smile, remember his mischievous times. I agree I think some souls are just to precious for earth. Take one second at a time.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 24/02/2020 17:05

He and you, are surrounded by love and hands holding you up. Treasure your wonderful memories.

Fill him with love and let him float onwards.

Sending love, you've done an incredible job. Flowers

Absolutely heartbreaking. He sounds like a very special little boy and you are an incredible mum. There are no words. I'm so very sorry.

Another hand here for you sending love your way. Your DS sounds wonderful, a beautiful soul. I'm sure we would all loge to hear more about him.

Thubten · 24/02/2020 17:27

Your boy is so lucky to have a mum like you who is not falling to pieces but is strong for her boy. Your strength is admirable. Don't know how you do it.
Sending you both heart hugs from the snowy highlands

strongswans · 24/02/2020 17:27

Love not loge 🤨

chilling19 · 24/02/2020 17:28

Handhold for both of you. My grandson is nearly 7 and likes robots, how things work books, baking fairy cakes, iPad games, kids tv, marvel superheroes and any kind of model car. What are your boy's favourites? xxx

Chillyourbeans · 24/02/2020 17:31

I'm so sorry GoJetterGirl, your lovely boy sounds amazing. Holding your hand and sending love.

HJWT · 24/02/2020 17:32

Bogoffrain · 24/02/2020 17:37

Oh OP this thread has me in tears, wishing you so much love and strength. No mother should ever go through this xxx

NeverGotMyPuppy · 24/02/2020 17:41

OP I'm so so sorry. This is something no one should go through.

Boudicabooandbulldogs · 24/02/2020 17:44

My heart goes out to you and your son. He is still in there and will be hearing everything you say. The sound of your voice will comfort him all the way. I work with end of life care. The thing that shines through always is the love between the one passing and the ones staying. His memories of you are just as strong as your memories of him. They will keep him strong and calm all the way through.
Holding both yours hands and sending you love xxx
