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 have also followed your posts on your brilliant Will. What a fab, funny, gentle, thoughtful, clever person. I am so so sorry for your loss and for the long life that Will should have had - it's not fair. Just not fair. I wish you all the strength in the world as you have to deal with him not being there, and love to your younger son too. I have a candle lit tonight. xxx
