Lit by Imelda Doherty 28th September 2010
I cant believe it had now been 9 years since I held you tightly in my arms and kissed your beautiful little face, since I watched your perfect little eyes looking trustingly up at me. I have finally reached a point that I smile when I think of you (most of the time), though the pain is as enormous as it was almost a decade ago, I know it always will be. I sometimes think of all the things that I never got to do with u, like see u crawl for the first time, walk, go to school, I never got to pack ur lunches or spend all Sunday driving u to whatever sport u decided to follow. It hurts so much when I think of all those things we never got to do, feed the ducks, play on the swings. I never got to have a birthday party for you or meet ur first girlfriend, so many things that we never got to experience. But I did get to tell you how much I love you, how glad I am that u were in my life, those 23 days in September 2001 will always be treasured in my heart and no matter how any decades pass I will always treasure u my beautiful perfect little baby boy xxxx mummy loves u always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
