“I’m sat here with sore eyes and a heavy heart as I’ve cried consistently for the last 12 hours while carrying your unborn son.

“I will remind him daily about how great you were as a son, brother, boyfriend and friend too!”
“The love I have for you will never stop and I will honour your name everyday.
“I will look after your sisters to the best of my ability. They loved you so much. We all did.
“I held your hand yesterday for the last time as you lay there lifeless and baby T kicked me straight away and it broke me.
“It’s just not fair. We live in such a cruel world. I’m so angry yet keep being told I have to stay strong for the baby.
“The support you had at the hospital yesterday from family and friends was so lovely. I only wish you knew how loved you really were.
“I love you wholeheartedly and I’m so glad I get to share something so special with you and I know I’ll see you in him everyday.”
