Avery Fox Charles Tatton 14.07.2011 Silent. Still. Loved. Remembered.
It has been 10 years since Avery made is dramatic, but silent entry into this world. Not a day goes by where is is not thought of, or remembered with fondness and love.
The greatest gift we received with Avery was time. Time to hold him, time to love him, and time to get to know what we could about him. This was only possible because I was sick, and in hospital for a long time.
Each day he would be brought to me, and the clock started. We had a maximum of two hours with him, before he would be wheeled back through the hospital alleys into the morgue, where he would be chilled again, so that he could come back for a cuddle.
Imagine what my experience could have been if he was left in my room, for me to love on and nurture, while still remain chilled? What if I never had to give him to someone else to care for, out of sight, trusting his care to someone I had never met?
For his first birthday, we raised funds for a CuddleCot for RNSH. So, with no party of remembrance to be had, what better way to commemorate his 10th Birthday, than with a new CuddleCot?
The hospital has not been chosen, but we have already spoken to the distributor. We are aiming for $5000. This will cover purchase, delivery, and a blanket embroidered with a memorial message.
Please buy Avery a virtual 10th birthday present - and donate to this cause.
Happy birthday to your sweet boy. I still remember emailing back and forth with you way back, not knowing who I was speaking with, and then realising and going "Oh, you're Avery's mum!" xxx
In memory of beautiful Avery xxx
