Now that mum has passed away this is a fitting tribute to her and our late dads youngest child Jonathan. We miss them all so much! Mum and Dad did everything they could to keep him alive, daily sessions of postural drainage, daily sessions on his nebuliser (affectionately known as his ‘machine’. He was so very young when he passed away (9 years old). It had a profound effect on us all, particularly Mum and Dad, also Hazel and myself who were still living at home. Cystic Fibrosis is a cruel, horrible disease and effects it’s sufferers and families in so many ways. The progress made since Jonathan’s death in 1976 has been remarkable, life expectancy is so much greater, all credit to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and its supporters for their role in this. Though Jonathan and now Mum and Dad have passed away, they will never be forgotten, as you can clearly see by the photos Jonathan was still a happy lad, despite his illness and all its effects. As his family we were privileged to have him with us for that short time and we were privileged to have a special Mum and Dad, though they’ve now all gone they will never be forgotten.
