In honour of my boy v-w j w

I’ve committed to walking 100K in March for every much-loved baby sadly not here today. 

March I am walking 100k in honour of my son  vinnie-William who at 25 hours old took his last breath as I held him in my arms for the very first time vinnie was my first baby the one that made me a mammy he was the boy that stole my heart the sweetest little soul that entered this world and was put straight onto a life support he started life facing the biggest fight against  pallister killians  syndrome and congenital diaphragm hernia vinnie made it to 25 hours old at that point nurses couldn’t do anymore for him everything they were doing just wasn’t enough 20 years old  I had to make a decision for my son one that broke me as a person as a mother the nurses came to me gave me 2 options either keep my son on a life support in unbearable pain and wait for his little heart to stop or turn his machines of let him be at peace and pain free so I made that decision 25 hours old I help my little boy for the first time while he took his last breath because I didn’t want him to die alone he needed to know his mammy was with him when he passed that was a decision that broke my heart and soul but it was the kindest thing to do for by baby his little heart and body needed to be at rest and pain free since he passed I have blamed myself every single day because I as his mammy couldn’t protect him from this illness I had no control and couldn’t take his pain way for him I had everything in life planned out for us I wanted to show him the world after vinnie passed I started doing little bits in his memory things what would mean nothing to everyone else but meant everything to me so here I am in honour of my son my little hero
