Winnie The Pooh

This video clip comes from one of Danny's most favourite movies, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I cannot watch more than 10 seconds of this video before the pain gets too much. This music and pictures brings back memories that touch the centre of my soul. 

Dearest Danny
The "Winnie Poohs" are for you and for the special times we had watching this "DVDV" together. You have touched the core of my soul and to say that I miss you will never be enough. I ache for you, cry for you, look for you, wish for you. Losing you was to lose a part of my very being...my Angel. Sleep well, my love is with you forever, now and into the next life - there where we will find each other again
Mamma

Eeyore Blanky

Just to be with his mom was all the Daniel needed to be peaceful, comfortable and secure…okay, I was maybe not ALL he needed…there was also his Eeyore blanky :-)

A white blanket with dark blue stitching around it and a small picture of Eeyore in one corner. It was his special blanky and he went nowhere without it.

On wash days I had to sneak it into the washing machine. On finding his blanket after I had washed, he would always come to me and say:

“You washed my Eeyore blanky. Look it is nice and clean. Thank you Mom.”

He died alone. Without me and without his blanky. I asked for it to be fetched from his dad’s house to put it with him before he was taken from the hospital to the mortuary.

That was the last time I saw him and I knew that he was never going to come back to me in this life. My little boy with his Eeyore blanky.
