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 very beautiful baby. Thank you for sharing him with us.

What an open and expressive face he had, you made me laugh saying that he would eye roll at you taking photos. He surely knew how much he was loved....

ah, Scott is such a gorgeous boy! how lucky he was to have you as his mum, and how lucky you were to be his mum. What a beauty, and so full of personality at such a young age.

I'm so glad to get to meet Scott. He's obviously such a loved and missed boy. Flowers and hugs to you, OP.

Beautiful beautiful boy OP.

I know exactly what you mean by saying it is hard to explain how such a small baby had a big personality but he really did.

All my loveFlowers

Dotty is a beautiful boy! I love his green top/green socks outfit, and I can totally imagine the baby eye roll as you take another picture of him.

You sound like a wonderful mum, and I am so sorry for your loss and that people don’t talk about him so much anymore. I hope you are doing ok today 💐
