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.

Min - I wish no-one ever had to suffer such a terrible loss, my heart breaks for you. Sad

tinypumpkin · 26/03/2014 20:53

Popping by to say that you are all in my thoughts. Birthdays are so hard without the people we love around. Wishing you gentle days ahead.

Oh Min, you write so beautifully about Will. I'm so sorry you are without him.

Thinking of you all xx

Lovel Min. Still thinking of you and Will. Your love for him is so very raw it gives me goosebumps.

I'm so sorry.

I wish I could say or do something to help ease this.

Thinking of you this evening, and every day.

Of course you are broken, I simply can't begin to imagine what you are going through. The only, tiny consolation I can offer, is that you are not on your own. Keep talking, Min, for as long as it helps and if you need a stranger to offload to, my inbox is there xx

Min ...
Thinking of you with much love.
Xxx

Min - I just can not begin to imagine your pain.

All I can offer you is a cyber hug from a stranger & the promise that I will always be here to listen to you, as will so many of us.

It's all I can offer but it's meant with love and sincerity.

My darling boy - I survived yesterday without you. I visited your grave but I can't feel you there or any peace. We raised our glasses to you at dinner. I just miss you. It's too painful. Too quiet. It doesn't feel right without you.

I didn't want you to suffer any more but your release from suffering means I am left without you. Your dignity and bravery was amazing. You were so far from ordinary - you were quietly extraordinary. I am so proud of you but I miss you. I love you more and more xxxxx
