It is so sad without his smile! It just breaks my heart to see him like that... My poor little baby, how can I help you with all this pain and anguish?!

And every time I read the words of support and see how many people are responding to our grief, I am convinced - we are not alone! Please pass on my sincerest motherly thanks and deepest thanks to everyone who keeps me going... I have only one request... Please, don't leave us, we can't do it without you!
