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...

“Too special for earth” reminds me of someone I lost many years ago, I had that feeling so strongly about them too.

Your little GoJetterBoy sounds wonderful, thoughtful and such a lot of fun.

Sending more incoherent love from a stranger xx

Hand holds and gentle hugs.

I'm so sorry Gojettergirl. I remember your previous threads and you have been through so much. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. My thoughts are with you.

I remember someone telling me that when god took a child. It was because they were so special that they needed their angel wings

I hope that wasn’t the wrong thing to say. It helped me xxxx I’m sending more love than you know. Xxx

An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby's birth. Then whispered as she closed the book 'too beautiful for earth'.

Holding your hand tight OP. I held my mum’s hand as she passed away and I’m so glad I was with her in those last few hours. Big hugs xxx

Hello, I don't know if it will be of any help to you or whether you are at all religious or believe in God etc.
But in my religion, when a child passes, they go straight to heaven and they wait for you there. Thoughts and prayers with you at this incredibly difficult time.

I just wanted to send you both my love, I didn't want to read and run, I loved reading about your son, you are absolutely right he is an absolute smasher who brought happiness to everyone who knows him. 💐💐💐

QueenOfOversharing · 24/02/2020 08:30

This is the worst post to read - I'm there with you, handholding & listening to you tell me all about GoGetterBoy. My DS is much older, so I don't know GoGetters - but I do remember the passion & excitement of a 7 yr old. I hope you are both surrounded by love & strength in this terrible time. I don't know you, but I wish there was something I could do to change this. Hold tight to your beautiful little man. 🙏🏼

Sending you and your boy lots of love xxx

GoJetterGirl · 24/02/2020 08:49

He is wonderful, writing me good luck letters and making me pictures at school when he was well enough to go,

The way he would scuttle onto my lap for a cuddle,

Lean in as if you kiss my cheek and whisper “can I watch YouTube on your phone?”

And his thirst for knowledge, so many questions, why? What? How? The way I found him staring at the window and as if deep in thought told himself out loud “I wish I knew how it was made” cue an emergency trip to the library to find out how
