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 ❤

I heard lovely way of expressing sympathy the other day.
'My comfort for your loss'. I thought it was nice wording. Warmer than my sympathies.
So.... I hope sharing pictures of your beautiful Scott brings you some heartfelt comfort today xx he was so gorgeous and edible

Workinghardeveryday · 01/11/2021 13:19

He is soooo cute!!! Thank you for sharing his pictures with us. My favourite is the one with the blue hat half on, did make me smile.

What you said about when you were poorly in hospital, about 14 years ago I was very very poorly in hospital and something very similar happened to me. My Nan came and sat next to me on the bed, it was the strangest feeling like she was actually there. It gave me much comfort and a sort of cuddle i really needed.

It will have been him xxx

nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut · 01/11/2021 13:20

What a sweetheart. First picture made me smile. He looks absolutely appalled at something.

Workinghardeveryday · 01/11/2021 13:20

And he has the biggest brownest eyes I have ever seen! So sorry for your loss xx

Felldownabackdonhole · 01/11/2021 13:23

What a gorgeous little boy. You can tell he knows how loved he is. You can see it in his eyes.

Mummyoflittledragon · 01/11/2021 13:27

What a lovely little boy. 😍 He sounds so loved. You be as woo as you want. I also believe some things in my life, which seem crazy to the rational mind. The unexplainable happens and there is no reason to think that was not Dotty.
