Story

This is one of my last precious memories and photos of Jack. We had gone for breakfast with Santa at Hamleys and as you can see, he was absolutely buzzing for Xmas and his 6th Birthday on Xmas Day.

It is so sad seeing how excited Jack was and knowing that he never lived another 3 weeks to see that Xmas. As I look at this, I struggle to comprehend Jack could go from this happy, healthy little boy to lying in a hospital bed, fighting for his life to gone forever. Seeing him, talk and move makes this whole nightmare so real, I miss him so much.

This memory of Hamleys is one that I will remember for forever and it gives me comfort knowing how much Jack loved that day. When your child dies, memories are all that you left so this year, we have decided to give children who have lost a sibling, the chance to make a memory like Jack.

Your donation in memory of a loved one will allow is to give families Christmas Wishes this year.
