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 ❤

My ds is 6ft 2" and still called shorty so he definitely would have been Dotty to me forever.

What a beautiful son you have ♥️♥️

ReggaetonLente · 01/11/2021 11:04

My goodness what a gorgeous little thing 😍

Cornettoninja · 01/11/2021 11:04

He’s utterly beautiful, the first two photos you posted perfectly captured that small baby gaze that’s just pure unadulterated love that baby’s look at their mothers with. It’s such a special look.

Thank you for sharing his pictures and your memories. It’s a privilege that you’ve shared them Flowers

What a beautiful boy he was. Thank you for sharing.

My own wee boy was stillborn, and I've never forgotten. There's always one of you not there at Christmas, on Mother's Day, on your birthdays. Leaves a gaping hole that nothing or no-one can ever fill. But it was also a valuable life lesson - I'm hope I've been a better Mum for appreciating what a gift my others were.

Here's another of him in my favourite outfit of his, where he just looks resigned to the fact that I must take photos at all times. In his head I think he's saying "for goodness sake mum, again" 😂

He's so handsome and such an expressive face. You can tell he was such a character.
