Joshua's 4th Birthday

As the nation celebrates #VEday #VE75, our family not only reflects in celebration of freedom and victory, we also remember Joshua, on what would have been his 4th birthday.

My thoughts this year are in the form of a poem, as I consider all the things that Joshua would have become, aged 4... If only! #emptyarms #childbereavement #childloss

This year, due to #lockdown #covid19 #coronavirus #pandemic Joshua's birthday gathering at his memorial oak tree was a quieter occasion. Nevertheless, he has been in the thoughts of all who loved and cared for him. As always, James and I very much appreciate the thoughtful messages which we have received today, knowing that our brave boy is remembered means so much to us #sayhisname
