A slightly different Proud Mummy Moment!

Thank you all.

The original "wall" thing that was started on Facebook when he died was taken down (not sure why, and would love to have it reinstated, there were so many lovely comments) and the current one was put up to replace it. It is heart warming to see the posts that have been made.

phoenix He was obviously a special person who left special memories for his friends. How heartwarming to read his friends' messages

That's lovely phoenix I think it's wonderful that his friends still remember, he must have been a very special person.

What a lovely tribute to your son, Phoenix

What a lovely tribute to your son Phoenix Definite reason to be a very proud mum

It must have been lovely to see so many messages from his friends, remembering your beloved son.
It shows one of the positive aspects of FB where such wonderful tributes can be seen by all his friends and family.

Pheonix That is a lovely tribute from his friends all these years on. (((hugs))) to you.

phoenix, A proud mummy is something you will always be.

Three cheers for your son's lovely friends.

Special people never die in our memories.

What a lovely OP.

Phoenix

Obviously I feel the same way as all other posters and sending you hugs too.

I couldn't help but notice the time you posted your OP and I hope you managed to eventually get some restful sleep , albeit with bitter sweet memories and personal thoughts.

How very heartening, both because of the evidence of the affection in which your son was held, and also to see young people (who will have moved on in their lives from teenagers to young men - and maybe fathers) still taking the trouble to make their feelings known. Your son must have been very special indeed. Be proud.

thank you for posting that Phoenix.

How lovely that you can visit his page when you're feeling low, and get comfort from the affectionate remarks of your son's friends.

sent to you with love phoenix

Sleeping quietly safe and warm,
Warmed by the love he left behind x

phoenix I'm so glad this thoughtful act of his friends brought you comfort.

How lovely to know that he must have had such a positive effect on people who knew him. No wonder you are proud.

Sounds like you are justifiably proud of you dear son. phoenix

Thanks for your post PhoenixA lad to be proud of obviously but a bitter sweet time for you.

Oh phoenix, great big hugs to you. So glad that your boy's friends have been able to bring you some comfort.

Thanks for your life affirming post phoenix. We hear a lot of moaning about young people, but your experience mirrors that of close friends whose boys died tragically young. The friendship group continue to commemorate their losses and we're 10 years on x

That's a lovely tribute to your son Phoenix. I hope you were able to draw a little comfort from knowing that he was so loved by his friends.
