2 years without you son - how is it 2 years, it doesn't even make sense. Words cannot do justice to how much we miss you. There are no words that can describe the never ending ache that we feel. Whoever said that it gets easier to deal with has clearly never had this happen to them. With every passing second our hearts ache more. We love you so much son. Miss you eternally with our broken hearts. 2 years is too long, the world is so unfair. You should never have been taken, you deserved so much more from life. Love you forever. xxxx

21 today, Connah, you are 21 today. Another heartbreaking milestone without you here. No new photos to take, no new memories to make with you, your face will never age, never change, yet our hearts will continue to break. Today should have been a day of celebration, watching you grow and become the man that you always aspired to be, instead, we will spend every second thinking of you, as always, without being able to hug you or shower you with gifts. Our star in the sky, We love you eternally, Happy Birthday Son, Mum, Dad and Marlie xxxx

So today it is one year without you, son. We have felt the pain of every single month, week, day, hour, minute and second without you and it gets stronger all the time. We just need to chat and banter with you and share a story, a smile and laugh - we haven't been able to laugh without you. We miss you with all our hearts and life is so difficult without you. We miss you standing strong by our sides and laughing at everything that life threw at us. We miss you son, you are our hero, our inspiration and we love you so much. Mum, Dad, Marlie xxxx
