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 am so terribly sorry to hear this. I lost my daughter in 2011. Nothing I can say now will make you feel better but I am thinking of you. MrsD's experience is more like yours as my dd was a baby and her death unexpected but I would also like to say that I'm here if you need me. Much love xx

I am so so sorry. I have followed your other thread occasionally and you have shown such incredible strength for both your boys - they have been lucky to have such a wonderful, loving mother.
