I want to show him off, if that's ok.

Its been a long time since anyone but me has acknowledged him. Sorry the photos aren't too great, there were no camera phones in the 90s so I had to take a picture of a photo.

He would be 23 now, and as handsome as his little brother no doubt.

He was so beautiful, he was a skinny wee tall boy, all eyes and feet 😂 he was tiny but his eyes were huge and he had ginormous feet.

Everyone always said he has wise eyes, and an old soul. I really felt he was an old soul too.

He fought so hard through his illness, but he was taken from me anyway.

He was cremated in his green top and green socks, that was my favourite outfit on him.

He is still so loved and missed every day. I adored him, my first born, my precious baby boy, he changed my life, he made me a mum, he taught me what love is, and now that love has no place to go so it has turned to grief.

Forever my baby ❤

What a lovely chap. Those pictures are fab. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Frogsonglue · 01/11/2021 10:20

He is so beautiful. My heart goes out to you. I was also going to ask his name, if you'd like to share it with us x

23yearsagotoday · 01/11/2021 10:20

His name is Scott, although I called him Scott dot, which then turned into Dotty.

Thank you all, he was very beautiful, but having a look through his photos today I see he mainly looks annoyed at me for yet another photo shoot 😂

Its hard to explain what a big personality such a small person had, but he really did.

You have no idea how much it means to me to show him off and feel like he has been acknowledged. Its been a long time and nobody really cares anymore, they expect me to be over him for their comfort. You have all made me feel like his mum again Flowers
