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 OP. Came across this thread and am listening to Lullaby and thinking of you and Dotty and trying to hold it together. He’s such a beautiful boy and you sound like such a lovely, loving mum. Thank you for sharing him with us ❤️

I like this
”If love alone could have saved him he would have been immortal, I never knew what love was until he came along, he literally saved my life.”

all the best

Not sure what brought me back to your thread today, I originally read it in November, but just wanted you to know that the lovely pictures made me smile and another person is holding Dotty in their thoughts today Flowers
