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...

Thinking of you GoJetterGirl and GoJetterBoy.
Little boys just give the best snuggles to their Mums.
Sleep tight little one.
Hope you can get some rest, GJG. xxxx

Oh god I'm so so sorry. Everything else just falls away reading your words. Life can be so desperately cruel. I'm in awe of you existing through this.

Boozeless · 24/02/2020 23:24

In the words of Xuli ‘not cool’

What’s gojetterboy’s favourite episode? Mine 4 year olds is the Rio carnival and mine... probably Eiffel Tower.

Go go go go, go jetters! Xx

GoJetterBoy sounds likes the sweetest little boy - I love the stories about his amazing curiosity and his kind nature. How amazing it is that he was given a mother as loving as you. I'm sending the two of you so much love, hand holds and hugs, and you will have MNrs here for you both whatever the time❤️ mummy's friends are right behind you both xxx

Love and handholding from afar. I have a DC who loves GoJetters too. He says hello to GoJetterBoy. We’re all holding you in our hearts tonight

SallyLovesCheese · 24/02/2020 23:58

I'm so sorry to read this. I'm bad at knowing what to say in these situations, but your little boy sounds amazing. I have no idea how windows are made but never even thought about it - what a scientific, enquiring mind he has!

TechGinny · 25/02/2020 00:00

Another hand to hold here, with very much love sent to you and GoJetterBoy. Also sending you strength to get through the strange hours of the night, I truly hope it passes peacefully with lots of cuddles with your beautiful boy xxx

Electrical · 25/02/2020 00:03

I’m sorry, OP, he sounds great, I respect a fellow inquisitive mind, and brown eyes are exquisite! The planet will be losing a decent human, you’re doing brilliantly for him, mate. 💙

ItsPeanutButterJelly · 25/02/2020 00:07

OP, I'm so sorry. I hope you remember every minute funny, beautiful little detail. What a gorgeous thing he sounds like, and you're both very lucky to have one another.

I hope he's comfortable and that you're doing ok (as well as can be expected). Please keep this thread going telling us about him

Bridgeofpies · 25/02/2020 00:18

Oh OP, I couldn’t read and run. Your son sounds amazing, such a special little soul.

My heart is breaking for you. Sending light and strength to you both and all your family! Flowers

SomethingBlue22 · 25/02/2020 00:22

Sending you all the love and strength I have. Your boy sounds incredible StarFlowers

Writersblock2 · 25/02/2020 00:22

We’re all here with you, OP. You’re not alone. Thank you for sharing your son with us through your posts. Flowers

Have you ever read The Little Prince? It’s a book for children that has given me great comfort over the years. If I may, here’s a quote from it:
“All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems... But all these stars are silent. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars will be laughing when you look at the sky at night..You, only you, will have stars that can laugh! And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me... You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh.”

Icanflyhigh · 25/02/2020 00:25

Another handhold right here.
Sending peace and love to you and your little Gojetter xx
