Childless Parents Newsletter, Autumn 2020

Newsletter for Childless Parents | www.tcf.org.uk 7 I found it very hard to reconcile organ donation and my son. It was hard to give part of him away even though I knew it was the right thing to do and what Oliver wanted. I always thought it would be an easy decision but it isn’t. I have believed in organ donation all my life, but still it was tough. Very tough. I can really understand why people say no. I never used to but I do now. What I do know though is that my son saved three people’s lives and for that I am so proud. Kirstie Maggie Pinsent remembers her son Dylan DYLAN  28 November 37 years ago Our journey together began.

This day will be a celebration of the short time you were here. You will always be remembered with great love and many tears But to only feel pain and sorrow would not be fair to you. Your life meant so much more to us, more than words could say. You were here so briefly, I wonder if you knew all the ways you’ve touched our world and our hearts and everyone who knew you, since the day GOD called you home. There will always be a big void in our life and a hole in our hearts that will never heal. Our souls will grieve forever. Will we forget or stop loving you No! not now ...not ever. As this day is upon us ,oh, our hearts still hurt But even as we mourn your death we will always celebrate your birth. Happy birthday in heaven our darling son. Love you now and always, Mummy and Daddy xxxxx Your messages
