My beautiful son

After nearly two and a half years of a fight with cancer my beautiful 18 year old son passed away this morning at 11:20 am.

I am humbled by his strength and humour that he has shown throughout his short life.

Lots of love Min. Thank goodness that you have RL support if you want it. Thinking of you loads. Xx

It would never be enough time to prepare. How could anyone prepare for the death of a child? I know I would want it to be me instead.

The CCF playing the Last Post is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

Hugs to all of you going through it.

I'm so sorry Min, I've followed Wills story and am so sad for the outcome. I'm sat watching my two young boys playing, with tears in my eyes. I hope you can continue to stay strong. The lamp story is lovely. Xx

Sending you love and prayers. Your beautiful love for your son shines out so brightly from all your posts. This will most likely be the hardest thing you have to ever face, try and look after yourself a little in the midst of caring for everyone else. Slowly, slowly.. X

Thinking of you and sending love, min X

I am so very, very sorry. I've only just seen. You are in my thoughts.

Abra1d · 01/03/2014 21:07

How moving about the lobster and the last post somehow being brought together like this. Will must have had a lot of character. Take care of yourself.

Millie2013 · 02/03/2014 07:51

You are all still very much in my thoughts xx

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/03/2014 16:33

You are all very close in my heart and thoughts lovely min.

Huge hugs from me xxxx

minmooch · 02/03/2014 18:37

My darling boy. I don't know how to be without you.

I can't grieve because I can't believe you are gone.

I am so so sorry to hear your news min.... RIP Will and the very best wishes to you to look after yourself and get through this heart breaking time... xxx

It must be so incredibly hard x

ClockWatchingLady · 02/03/2014 19:28

Oh min. I'm so very sorry.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 02/03/2014 19:38

I'm so sorry Min. I have followed your threads and admired you, Will and your family from afar.

He was an amazing lad, resting now in peace but leaving a huge void for those left behind.

Breath in, then breath out for now. Don't have any expectations of the next few hours, days, weeks, months.......

We'll all help in anyway that we can.

Xxxx

sybilfaulty · 02/03/2014 19:44

Oh Min, I am so sorry.

Sending you my best wishes and much strength for the days ahead.

StolenStollen · 02/03/2014 22:17

I am so sorry Min. Please look after yourself xx

riskit4abiskit · 02/03/2014 22:45

I read your story and wanted to say how sorry I am for the loss of will.

Cuxibamba · 02/03/2014 23:24

I am so sorry min Thanks

CheckpointCharlie · 02/03/2014 23:31

Have lurked a bit but have thought of you often and wondered how you are.

I am very sorry.

I suppose all you can do are mundane things until eventually some of the light starts to drift back into your life.

I feel real horror at what you have been through and wish so much for you to begin to heal and recover but I am sure it will take a while.

I will continue thinking of you and hoping you slowly, gradually begin to come back to life yourself while still managing to honour your lovely child.

Please accept a (hug) x

knickyknocks · 03/03/2014 06:41

Oh min you've been so wonderfully strong. Completely giving your whole being to looking after Will. Life, once more, has changed dreadfully. As others have said, breathe in and breathe out, take each day, hour, minute as it comes. Have no expectations. We are all for you here for you darling Min. You are in my thoughts often.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 03/03/2014 09:59

minmooch I'm so very sorry for your loss. x

tinypumpkin · 03/03/2014 11:05

I just wanted to say that I have been keeping you and your beautiful son in my thoughts. There is no one right way to grieve. As knickyknocks says, just keep breathing in and out.
