A slightly different Proud Mummy Moment!

Pheonix [hug], you obviously have every reason to be proud of your son. That so many of his friends remembered him on that day goes to show what a great lad he was, and one to be proud of for ever. I wish I had known him.

I have always believed that how we are remembered after we are gone depends in how much we were loved (or even just liked) while we are alive. A good,loving person will leave good memories and he or she will always be remembered. Bad people just go away, that's it.

I am sure your DS will be remembered by everyone who knew him and loved him, for many more years to come Phoenix which is testament to how he was loved when he was alive.

Wishing you many Happy Memories at this sad time.

Huuuuge {hug} Phoenix, birthdays are especially hard, but how lovely to know that he has been such an important person to all his friends and still features in their lives. The young can have a wonderful way of expressing their emotions, can't they, making you laugh and cry at the same time.
and to you.

I'm glad that what must be a very difficult and poignant anniversary was maybe made a little easier for you phoenix. You are a very brave lady.

You have every entitlement to feel proud that you raised a son who is still remembered with affection and respect by the young people who knew him and valued him years after his sad death.

Niice to read about thoughtful, caring young people, Phoenix. That must be very comforting, knowing how fondly others remember your dear son, too

That is definitely a proud mummy moment phoenix and I bet you shed a tear or two! (((hugs)))

That must have been comforting for you phoenix, he must have been a really great lad to have remained in their memories, and for them to continue to keep his memory alive.
((Hugs)) x
