I should be frank: this was not my loss. Jasper, who was born still 15 years ago today, was the son of an acquaintance of mine.

I got to see photos of him, briefly. He was a beautiful little boy with dark hair.

I've long since lost touch with his mother; I don't have a way to reach out to her now. But I'm still thinking of her, and of him, and it seems wrong to let the day pass without saying his name out loud.

Thank you for this space.

This is a nice post. I hope his mummy hears this and finds solace in the fact he is so well remembered.
As a mamma in similar circumstances this would mean a lot to me
