My beautiful son

[minmooch]

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.

min I think of you often.

Thinking of you, minmooch X

My darling boy - I miss you. I miss your presence. I miss your voice. I miss looking after you. I miss our jokes. I miss holding your hand. I miss telling you how much I love you. I miss cooking for you, trying to choose your favourite foods. I miss seeing your clothes in the washing pile, doing your ironing. I stand in your bedroom and you are not there. Your dressing gown still hangs on the back of the door, it still smells of you. Your phone and iPad are on your bedside table but your phone doesn't ring. I miss thinking of you, planning our day. I don't know who I am without you.

I miss you and love you.

I am so sorry minmooch. Life is very cruel.

Oh Min your posts are so poignant and so beautiful. xxx

Oh Min - just sending you a big hug.

Thinking of you, and Will, lots min. X

Your Will sounds wonderful, kind, brave and brilliant.

I'm so sorry, Minmooch.

I am so so sorry Minmooch. You are in my thoughts xxx

Oh God, Min. Your words really convey a sense of the impact of your loss. I can't imagine your pain, nor the enormity of your sadness. Thank you for writing. Please know that we are here for you, in whatever limited capacity that may be. Thinking of you so much, and wishing it was otherwise.
Much love. Xxx

So sorry min, still thinking of you x

I have thought of you and your boys every day.

I wish some peace and consolation for you.

Wishing you peaceful days ahead. I have no words but sending much love to you. x

You are often in my thoughts x

Thank you everyone xxx

My darling boy - it was my birthday today. My first in 18 years without you. Your brother made me breakfast but I think he feels the pressure of it being just him. I didn't cry until this evening - the takeaway delivery man always asks after you but today I had to tell him you had passed away. He cried for you and us. I love you my sweet William and miss you with every beat of my heart.

Sending hugs from the US. Your love for your son shines like a brilliant beacon of light. Xx

It is heart breaking for you and I feel so sorry this has happened.i hope that you and your son can get strength from each other .

Still thinking of you min x

Minmooch, I am so so sorry for your loss. You and William are in my thoughts and prayers. xxxx

Oh min, what a hard day to get through. I hope you and will's brother could find some comfort together. I am thinking of you every day.

Thinking of you yesterday, Min and especially today x

min I'm so sorry you are going through this - and that you find the space to think about the pressure on your other son. You've made a wonderful family there and it's unfathomable that this should have happened to you all. Thoughts with you.

Happy belated Birthday, Min. Is it the first of the firsts?

My friend whose only sibling died said it was hard being the one who was left, and she was an adult when her sister died, so it must be very hard for your son. You are such a lovely mum. My friend said it was the loss of the shared sibling history that was the hardest thing of all.
What an impact Will had on those around him, and how proud you must be of him. Keep breathing, my virtual friend ...
Much love. Xxx

Hugs Min.

Belated Birthday wishes. I wish you could have your boy back.

Thinking of you, min. Belated birthday wishes. X
