“I am so proud to have been your mummy.
“I wish we were having a party today with balloons and presents.
“I wish I had got to see your smile and hold your hand. I wish I could kiss your face and hug you tightly.
“I wish I had heard your voice. I wish I had been able to pick you up when you had fallen, put plasters on your knees, dry your tears.
“I wish I wish I wish you were here.
“You are always in our hearts my beautiful boy. Happy birthday.
“We miss you and love you so very much. Have fun up there today little one Mummy loves you.”
