We’ve made some plans for the weekend now, I’m really hoping the weather will improve and cheer up again after being so nice for the last few days.
I’m hoping it will be happy, and dignified, and I won’t cry too much and the kids will get it and feel some sense of completion from it. They’ll have friends here, who I think will understand and so will we and that will keep me occupied until I can’t think of anything else any more.
Yesterday it was a year since his due date, this time a year ago I was having those early labour pains a couple of days early that we perhaps his last okay time.
We’re going to let balloon away at 12.30 on Saturday and light lanterns and sparklers and candle in the evening.
If you feel so inclined, perhaps you’d say his name on Saturday, or write it somewhere, or tell someone about him, or light a candle. I like to think of him being remembered and said aloud.
I’d be very grateful, if you wanted to.
I will light a candle for him and your family.
A year on my family are still reading and listening – we don’t know you in the true sense – but do feel your families loss. I hope your plans for the weekend give you a sense of comfort and are both happy, and dignified. Our evening meal candle will be lit in Freddie’s name on Saturday. I’m sure many, many people will remember as your son touched so many of us…..
We’ll be lighting a candle for Freddie, and for you all. When we go to blow bubbles to Catriona on Saturday, we’ll blow some to Freddie, and a few kisses too. You will get through it, I promise xxx
Freddie and I share a birthday. He will certainly be remembered here x
It would be a honour to light my special candle in order to remember your precious son.
We will remember Freddie here, we all say his name often, but we will make a special effort on Saturday, and we will light a candle for him. x
we have plans for Freddies day too
love you
xx
Here in Scotland we will light a candle to celebrate Freddie’s birthday and wish him a happy birthday out loud. I hope that for you and your family it will be a day where your happy memories of your precious boy can overtake the sad ones. Although he only had such a short life he knew more love in that lifetime than many children will ever know.
Warmest birthday wishes from a stranger-friend 🙂 xx

We will light a candle in his honour. I hope the day is all you need it to be. x
Will light a candle here too. Daffodils will forever have Freddie’s name attached to them – we are off to the lakes to see them there tomorrow, xx
We will be thinking of all of you, and will do something special to remember Freddies birthday. lots of love to all the Raymonds x x
I will light a candle for Freddie. x
I remember Freddie and all of you often and will talk about him tomorrow. I’ve been thinking of him a lot over the past few weeks, whenever I’ve seen daffodils (which is often, given my youngest son’s obsession with them!) Thinking of you all and praying for you, especially for tomorrow and the coming couple of weeks xxx
We mentioned him today; I say his name quietly to my daffodils most days. And to the narcissi before the daffodils came out, because they look like mini daffs to me.
There are several not-here babies my here-baby reminds me of, not quite constantly but very often. Life and death are never quite as far apart as I used to think.
Sending you all much love for today, Merry. I will be wishing Freddie a happy birthday today too. xxxx
I don’t know you Merry but follow your blog and have been thinking about Freddie and you and your family a lot lately and especially today.
It is of little comfort but you guys will be in my prayers tonight.
