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 beautiful boy! Hold those memories tight OP!!

Sorry he was in your arms for so short a time. He looks a really beautiful baby and sounds to have been a treasure even in his short life.
I'm glad you photographed him so often.

He is in your family and in your heart forever.

How could anyone 'get over' such a loss?

Well done for going forward with such courage.

What a beautiful little boy! He was very lucky to have you as his Mum, even though it was for such a short time.

I have tears rolling down my cheeks at how cruel and unfair life can be. Sending hugs xx

Your love for him shines out, what a lovely young chap.

A beautiful little boy 🥰
I was going to call my son Scott because I think it's a lovely under used name but grumpy other half wouldn't agree 😳

Spunout · 01/11/2021 14:15

Beautiful Scott,lovely to see his glorious smile Flowers

MysteriousMonkey · 01/11/2021 14:16

He's lovely and I love the nickname! I'm sure he would have grown into a fantastic young man - but also would have fled your photography as soon as he could. My kids do. It's great to have so many gorgeous photos though Flowers
