More than a photograph

To some people you were a photograph, a cute face in a picture.  To some they only had an idea of you, a feeling or a thought.
But to others you were as real as daddy and me, you laughed, you smiled, you wriggled and my heart broke when you cried.  You were real.  You existed.
Much more than just a photograph Bubba xxx you were, are and always will be my son xxxxxxxxxxxxx

You would have been 6 months old tomorrow.  But even though you put up such a brave and enduring fight, you couldn't stay with us.  We loved everything about your little personality and your charisma.  We loved your one eyed wink, and your charm.  We loved hearing you sook on your tongue.  We loved hearing you giggle, before the ventilator meant we couldn't hear you anymore.  We loved your 'ah ah ah' noise giving mummy and daddy a row.  We loved the touch of your skin and the strong grip of your hands.
We cry that you hurt so badly, but we are grateful that we knew you and that we felt your love bubba boy.  We were privileged to have had you as our wee guy.
We miss all of those things, but most of all we miss you xxxxxxxx

kisses sent to the sky for you Haydon....catch them Bubba xxxxxxxxxx

Mummy loves you Bubba xxxx She just does and she always will xxxxxxxx
