Thanks again everybody, your messages were very comforting, though most of them reduced me to a blubering mess, once again! I'm feeling much better today, knew I would. I think about him everyday, 'talk' to him sometimes, ask him what he thinks about something, no problem. Don't misunderstand, I miss him like hell, but no tears or dramas, usually. Yesterday, I think, was so bad because of the 'special day' Fine again today. Debbie

i am very sorry to hear this, but im sure his dad can still take a pint down to the grave yard and he'll be smiling no matter where he is

Deborah Thinking of you and your boy. Grief is a very hard emotion to cope with - one minute you're fine and the next it is all raw and fresh again. Be gentle with yourself. Light a birthday candle for him anyway, blow it out and make a wish for yourself. Treasure your memories. nell

Hi Debbie - l would like to wish your son a happy 18th birthday as well. God bless. Take care:o) jude sarf wales x

Evening everyone, Thanks so much for your kind words, and to the people who e-mailed me privately. I think it's because it was a 'special' birthday, that I got so low, today. In fact I surprised myself at how badly I dealt with the day. As I said before, it does get easier, over the years, but today felt like I had taken a huge step back. That's how it is, I guess, fine one day, not, the next. Ups and downs. Thank you all again, God Bless Debbie

Deborah Wishing your son happiness on his 18th birthday and wishing you and your family love and comfort in each other as you remember the short but special years you shared with your son. Yvette

Oh Deborah, poor you. How very very sad. Over a period of time things get a little easier but time certainly doesn't heal. Thinking of you today and your beautiful son. Lorrainex

I'm so sorry Deborah I'm sure he's looking down on you now full of pride for such a great mother! love becx

Please forgive the self indulgence, I don't normally add 'personal' things to the boards, but have been feeling really down all day, and need to 'share'. In 1998 my beautiful boy died of a genetic disorder, he was just 11yrs old. Time, as they say is a healer, and with each birthday, Christmas, and anniversary of his death, it has got little easier. Until today. Today he would have been 18yrs old. A handsome young man, I know, he was such a beautiful child. So, no birthday parties for us, or Dad taking him for his first pint, and I'm feeling so, so miserable. When you say your prayers tonight, please wish him Happy Birthday. Why God takes the little ones I swear I'll never know You had so much life to live It just wasn't time to go. For comfort, now, I think of you With tiny little wings Up above, in a beautiful place, listening to angels sing. You'll never know the pain I feel The hurt you left behind. Oh, what I wouldn't give To hold you one more time. Happy Birthday darling xx
