Rona Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Those of you who were around last year might remember that it is nearly a year since my lovely son died suddenly in Dubai. Well as you can imagine it has been a difficult year and at times I don't know how I've got through it but like everyone else in the same situation I have. Anyway, just heard from one of my son's best friends from uni days that she gave birth to a little boy yesterday and has given him my son's name for a middle name as she wanted something special to remember her friend by. Can't think of anything more special than that! Also, for various reasons that I won't go into, she knows he was conceived during the weekend at the end of March when we had a memorial service for my son. She was not planning to have children and didn't even know she was pregnant until 6 months but after the shock, horror, tears etc she was absolutely delighted. I am also delighted for her and I'm sure my son is having a little chuckle as he watches over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Lovely news for you - these little things can become as treasured as your precious memories - your Son must have touched his friends lives very much to have been honoured in such a way - he will always be remembered. I hope this year is better for you, the second year is slightly easier as you no longer have to deal with all the "firsts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebird Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Rona, I had no idea of the grief that you have been going through over the past year. It must be a comfort for you to know that so many people thought so highly of Ryan and his memory lives on in a new life. Here's to 2009.
