My story....

On the 1st June 2015, me and partner Chris went for a normal scan and little did we know this day would change our lives forever, we was told our son had no heartbeat. I was so shocked, I felt my heart break, I bursted into tears and the tears never stopped.

On the 4th June 2015, after a long day of waiting around, moving beds, repeatively explaining what happened to doctors and midwives, being in pain for hours, that night with my family around me and partner by my side our son Michael-John Beasley was born and it was a beautiful day because we got to hold our son MJ, tell him how beautiful he was, how much we loved him, how we would never forget him and to say our goodbyes as a family. 

Just before we left the hospital I was given a memory box from the midwife, I didnt really know what it was and didnt understand but when I opened the box at a later time, it was full of memories of my son that the midwife and Sands had created for us, things that we could never think of doing as we so upset that day. My memory box gives me so much comfort, I feel so close to him when I open my box and over the years I've added things to it that remind me of my MJ.

On the 1st September 2019, Im going to completly shave aĺl my hair off in memory of our MJ, to do somethink postive and raise awareness and to get parents like me and Chris talking. I would like to raise £150 which could provide Sands memory boxes to hospitals in need to give to 7 bereaved parents like me and Chris. These memory boxes help parents to create memories.

Please, please get donating, share my story and help me achieve my goal and once you have done this please put #MJ in your status to keep his memory alive. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and donating and for anymore info on this amazing charity and what they do, go to https://www.sands.org.uk

Love you Michael-John Beasley, this is for you my angel.
