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 ❤

Oh my gosh. He looks like such a little character in those photos. What a beautiful little boy! How lucky to have been given you as his Mum.

Oh you are a mum, to this beautiful boy, Scott. What a loved baby he is. Sending you love, from a fellow loss mama xx

What a beautiful baby boy, his eyes are just amazing.
I cannot imagine your pain, losing a child is just the most unnatural thing. Time means nothing for a mothers love, or grief.

This is him the very first time I dressed him (he was in NICU and then neonatal for weeks and I was very young and had never dressed a baby before). It was a disaster, but I did improve after this one 😂

Oh Scott, how adorable you are. No wonder your mum feels so very proud of you.

Keep sharing stories about him - you should never be made to feel like you need to forget or move on. He is gorgeous. Sending you so much love.

What a beautiful little boy. Thank you for sharing those photos with us.
My younger brother's birthday was last week, he would have been 44 years old but he died at 17 months.
My mum told me that she woke up thinking of him and before she knew it the pillow was wet with tears. That is the power and intensity of a mother's love for her child.

Such a gorgeous little man Flowers

I love the picture of him in all the bears- his face is full of mischief.

Cantstopthewaves · 01/11/2021 10:31

What a beautiful baby! And all those teddy's of his!
I can see that wise look in the second picture.

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 01/11/2021 10:34

The photo of him in NICU, he has a little grin on his face. It made me imagine him thinking 'mummy never dressed a baby before, she did good' ❤️

Thank you for sharing Scott. Share as much as you like. Maybe keep this page open and when you think of him post about your thoughts. We are all here to read and to get to know your little boy through your thoughts, memories and love xx
