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 ❤

Love the photo with the teddies. He is such a beautiful boy and his character shines through.

This is another of my favourite photos (sorry for spamming my thread with photos) we were out of hospital by this point, and my baby dressing skills had improved somewhat by this point.

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.

He is so beautiful. I'm so sorry. He absolutely did exist and was every bit as important as any one of us. Please keep talking about him 🖤

Gorgeous wee soul, your Dotty! Have you considered writing about him, maybe an article, or a book - the way you talk about him on here is so lovely.
