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...

What a beautiful little boy, who is so loved. I am heartbroken for your loss. I'm a big fan of Go Jetters myself. Wishing for strength for you, just take it day by day. Mind yourself xx

I'm so so so sorry. We're all here for you to support you in whatever way that may be.

Lots of love and hugs. Xxxx

I just had to look up Penguin & I found a beautiful video of it, narrated by Emilia Fox. What a lovely book to be GoJetterBoy's favourite. "Penguin said everything..." ❤️

I'm sure you know the video, but in case people don't - vimeo.com/58744168/description

And clearly a young man after my own heart with those favourite foods.

I think your gorgeous boy and my 7 year old DD would’ve been firm friends!
Every time you tell us a bit more about your DS his awesomeness shines through.

I’ve been thinking of your lovely family all day and have been hugging mine just a little bit tighter tonight.

I’m absolutely heartbroken for you all.
Sending love xx

Queenest · 26/02/2020 00:26

I’m so very sorry Flowers

ParkheadParadise · 26/02/2020 00:38

So sorry for your heartbreaking loss.

WonderWoman36 · 26/02/2020 00:53

So very sorry for your heartbreaking loss. The more you talk about your ds, the more his little personality shines through, what a beautiful blessing he was to you. I pray you find strength and peace during this most difficult time xx

sunshineandlollypops · 26/02/2020 02:03

GoJetterGirl, my heart breaks for you. I am truly sorry for your loss.

justilou1 · 26/02/2020 02:11

Oh my darling GoJetter... I haven’t seen you on here since your amusing tale involving ice and bins. My heart breaks for you and the lovely members of your family. (The others can GTF.) I am honoured to be getting to know your darling DS through the insights you have shared. Carry the joyful memories with you in your heart to bludgeon any feelings of despair the Outlaws may wish to inflict upon you at this time. He was YOUR boy, GoJetter! He is so very loved.

Neome · 26/02/2020 03:02

Have just ordered Penguin, it looks lovely, maybe just what we need too.

You probably know this but I didn't until I had my DS. When we are pregnant a little bit of the DNA of the baby stays in us (maybe in our bloodstream?) and vice versa so although you say you left your DS in BCH a tiny bit of the blueprint of him is physically in you. I just had to double check that in case I got it wrong but it is true and its called fetal microchimerism.

Much love x

TheMammothHunters · 26/02/2020 06:28

I’m so very sorry.
Night night sleep tight beautiful boy

THAT90sBITCH · 26/02/2020 06:52

So sorry to see this op Flowers you have been amazingly strong for your lovely boy and now he can fly high on your love

10FrozenFingers · 26/02/2020 06:56

So sorry, OP.

honeyytoast · 26/02/2020 06:57

I’m so, so sorry FlowersFlowers❤️

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 26/02/2020 07:04

We have the Penguin book at home gojettergirl so know the name of your wonderful son. I’m so sorry for you and your family, life is so cruel and I can’t even imagine your pain right now.

There’s nothing any of us can do or say to help other than send our love

I will make a donation to a children’s charity in memory of your boy, to whom penguin said ‘everything’

Nogodsnomasters · 26/02/2020 07:26

I am so sorry for you and your family. There are literally no words, other than you are in this strangers thoughts and I send you love.

alphabunny · 26/02/2020 07:34

I am so very sorry that you have been dealt this hand in life, your son sounds like a beautiful soul ThanksThanks

timemoretime · 26/02/2020 07:58

I can't imagine what you're going through, I just want to send you a huge virtual hug and say sod the showers, sod the outlaws, you do you xx

Hotchocolate321 · 26/02/2020 08:13

I’m so so sorry , I can’t even begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now. Your boy sounds like such a beautiful little soul, I hope sharing a little about him is bringing a little comfort to you at such a dark time. Please take care of yourself and keep sharing if it’s helping in any way, it is lovely reading about your amazing boy xx

AlunWynsKnee · 26/02/2020 08:30

Penguin was a firm favourite here. We always say dd is like Penguin (autistic and often mute but fiercely loyal and brave) so GJB will now be the little boy in my head.

AnnaNotElsa · 26/02/2020 08:35

Like others, I have been following this thread in tears. I am so truly sorry for your loss. Life can be so cruel but there is a lot of love for your family on this thread and I hope that brings you some small comfort.

Like @Neome, I have just ordered ‘Penguin’. Every time I read it I shall think of your GoJetterBoy. Flowers

LaLaLandIsNoFun · 26/02/2020 08:40

I woke up this morning thinking about you, your family, and Gojetterboy.

Be kind to yourself. No judgment. Just do whatever you need to do/what feels right.

nettie434 · 26/02/2020 09:18

Thinking of you today GoJetterGirl as you go to the hospital and see the counsellor. Good that you are taking Pandy and Penguin. There will be so much to do over the next few days. Only tip I can offer from friends who lost their baby is not to be taken unaware by all the range of emotions that you might feel, numbness, grief, anger, and then the moments remembering joy too.

Jimmers · 26/02/2020 09:31

Read this as I was passing BCH... Sent some loving energy towards your boy xxx

AluminumMonster · 26/02/2020 09:35

Thinking of you and your family as you try to make it through another day x
