1 day left...

23rd December '09

Walking up with you inbetween us was so special, just like auld times eh? During the the rosery last night i felt this warmth right up my back, it lingered for ages then i felt my insides freezing cold. A short while later yer dad got a simiular feeling. It was like you were letting us feel your pressence.

We laid you out i your room today, the sitting room was just too warm. i sat downstairs for a while this morning arranging readings, prayers, the offortury and the reflection. I dont know how but somehow i got the strength to write the communion reflection. You had so many visitors 2day, loads of family & friends came to help out, make tea and food for ppl coming and going. I made an album of all your great memories you gave us and eventually got round to filling all those empty photo frames and albums...

We took it in turns to sit with you and chat. In the back of my mind all day i was in denial of what reality was. i kept so busy i didn't have to think about what was happening. The Lourdes Fund called to sympathise and say that a spot remains open for me to go to Lourdes because they had decided to send me and you at the last meeting. The Carbury Carers sent in a chq to cover food and refreshments for the few days. Ppl were just soooooo nice. Ray & Tina and neighbours and friends brought food and drink, ppl could not do enough to show they cared.

Pat Ryan came to say the rosery again. We brought you downstairs for the rosery, how handsome you looked for everybody, handsome georgeous lil man how could this be happening?

We laid you in your room 2nite and put the camera monitor on to keep an eye on you throughout the night. Tomorrow we face the hardest day of our lives yet... saying farewell to our beautiful handsome lil man xox
