All the best Hoppy and family. A brave post at what must be such a difficult time. It is healthy to share and vent your feelings.
Clearly a lot of love and respect for you and yours here on TWTD. Stay strong. Thinking of you all.

Thoughts with you.

You don’t need to apologise either, I don’t know the story behind what happened, but my youngest was 8 weeks early, and spent the next 4 weeks in Framingham Ward. This ended up being a time where I wrote most on Twitter, just because writing my feelings down allowed me to vent. He’s now 2 and as normal as can be (well, as normal as anyone related to me can be).

Thank you all for the kind words and wishes. Just got back in the car out of the rain at the cemetery, having come here with Yasmin to bring some flowers (blue and white, or as close to them as I could get!) and a couple of birthday cards. Yasmin told him to have a good party, and I told him to go and find Sir Bobby if he wants to hear some great stories - but not to expect him to get his name right!!

My heart goes out to you and your family Hoppy,

I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and anguish you have been through or continue to go through.

I hope that you may gain some small comfort from the fact that so many people acknowledge your pain, and send our thoughts, love & deepest sympathy to you and yours at times such as this.

I had a sister who never made it past her first few hours, more than sixty years on now but I still wonder how life would have been better for my family if the girl had lived as my mum never really got over the event. As blueislander said, we need to look after our ladies (even if we cannot fully know what they go through). Stay strong mate.

Thanks for this. Absolutely. I’m very grateful that I’ve still got both of them to look after - particularly after how close, without realising quite how close, I came to potentially having to deal with KJ going to look after CT... it makes you appreciate and make the most of your loved ones!

Yes, it’s often in mind how life would’ve been different, and how Yasmin would’ve been with a little brother as well as her 3 older ones, but something we’ll never know. It’s not surprising your mum didn’t get over the loss. KJ also found yesterday a struggle and hit her very hard. She actually posted on Facebook about him with a picture for the first time too. I think for her, as me posting on here, was a help to cope - and feel she may be ready to get counselling to help her further deal with the loss.

I’ve been choked with reading the responses on here above. Including WednesdayJon - who isn’t even a town fan - but his comments meant a lot too, as it goes to show how wide our TWTD community actually is!

Hops, my mum is now 82 mate.

Every single year my sister and I leave her alone to mourn the loss of her twins on their birthday.

She still wants to be left be on that one day of the year and I fully understand and respect that.
