    Jill,
    I have only just heard the sad news about your wonderful little boy Thomas. You must live so close to me - Whiston hospital is 5 mins away from us. Words can not express what I want to say - they seem so meaningless. Take care of yourself. XXX

    :heart2: For Thomas :heart2:
    Oh tiny babe, we never met
    and yet,
    you've touched the lives of hundreds maybe more.
    You've made them see, of life
    the fragilty
    The slender thread, which ties,
    which binds.
    You've opened eyes,
    which did not really see.
    This life, how long?
    the fragility.
    The babe we never knew,
    we never will forget.
    R.I.P

  • Good morning all,
    I have not been on here for a while due to work commitments & I have just read the tragic news of baby Thomas. Jill at this time I know words can not describe what you are going through, but may it be a comfort that you & your family are in our thoughts. Memories that you have of your beautiful baby can never be taken from you & will remain with you always & will be in your heart forever.
    Rest in peace Thomas, sleep sweetly angel.

    Sweeter
    Xxxxxxxx

    Hi, purchased 2 baby monitors at Boots the other week.

    A Phillips Avent digital monitor reduced from £89.99 to £22.50 and a

    Phillips cordless monitor reduced from £69.99 to £17.50. :j

    There was a Tomy Platinum £99 down to £25 and a Tommee Tippiee down to £37.50.

    Think these models are being updated so Boots selling of the current models. Not sure if it's all stores, and stores are possibly reducing at different times as people I have spoken to have checked other stores which they aren't reduced. Got mine in St Andrews Boots.

    Tragic News

    Hello ladies, I have something to tell you and it is hard to find the words to say this to you. But one of our Girls has contacted me with some tragic news. She has asked if I can post a message here on her behalf.

    Livermumof2 whose name is Jill, has had a tragic bereavement, she has lost her beautiful baby boy Thomas.

    Thomas was just 8 months old and he died on Wednesday Morning of Meningitis.

    Jill said "He got meningitis and fought for 3 long hours but he couldn't keep fighting. It was so sudden and quick." She is devastated and is feeling so lost and I am trying to support her by posting this message for her.

    Jill posted recently that her Mum is due to undergo major surgery for secondary Cancer, so she was already under great pressure anyway. Her world has fallen apart.

    No words can take away her pain, for there is no pain like the death of your much adored child, It is a pain like no other bereavement, but perhaps we can support her with our thoughts, prayers and kind wishes.

    She has already, in her thoughtfulness apologised to me if she does not answer my PM's, which in itself will show what kind of a brave woman she is, and as Jill said to me :A " My life revolves around my kids" :A

    I cannot find any other words to say except that life is so very cruel at times, and none of us should ever, ever take it for granted. Thanks


    ive only just seen this :(
    im sat here in floods of tears :( i am so so sorry for your loss:( you must be absolutely devastated
    my thoughts and prayers are with both you and the rest of your family at this awful time
    xxxxxxxxxxxx
    :cool:minds is willing , soul remains, this woman cannot be saved :cool:
