    Thanks for sharing hun, that is so heartbreaking. My little boy is sitting snuggled in watching alvin and the chipmunks and now has a we head from my tears. I think we need to remind ourselves everyday how lucky we are. I don't know if I could cope with that happening to me as a mam x

    So very sad. Very generous of the family to release this-I hope it brought them comfort to do so. x

    That's beautiful Iolaus, thank you for finding it.

    Almost the same as a mum and baby I looked after a few weeks ago, the same size and gestation but she only lived for an hour. So sad.
