12 Jan: The Birth – Wednesday 8th November 2006

Each year, I think long and hard about which memory of my son I am ready to share with my world. This year, it was a very easy decision…today (8th Nov. 2018) is Ankut – the Hindu New Year. We are at the height of Diwali celebrations, a very joyous time of the year for many of my family and friends, and for me too! Today is also my sons ‘would have been’ 12th birthday, if he was here, no doubt, today would have been a day full of joy, celebrations and smiles all around…so, it’s only right, the memory I share with you all this year of him is a joyous one, which I hope leaves you smiling, not crying. 🙂

08 Jan: The Goodbye – Wednesday 15th November 2006​

Wednesday 15th November 2006 – I force myself awake this morning and struggle to step out of bed. With the thought of the day ahead of me, I close my eyes again and wish I fall back into deep sleep, but I don’t. I have no choice but to get my son ready for his onward journey and prepare myself to say my final farewell to him. Some faces, conversations, sounds and moments are still so vivid in my memory from this day and the days leading up to it…It’s a day forever etched in my thoughts and one I will remember this way for the rest of my days.
