A post from our mum ?  28 August 2016

Wednesday 10th August 2016 <3

<3 Angie-Rose :) turns 24yrs old. It is a lovely warm day.

5.27pm

My cellphone rings ... something is wrong ... Francis has been found asleep in front of the tv :( not breathing ... the ambulance staff are with him <3

I already know it is too late :(

Frank and I take the 2 minute trip in the "slug" to the flat. All the emergency services are there standing around the doorway. I approached them and I said "My son is here, I am his Mum, he is Francis William Thomas Wilson" their heads were bowed. I looked into the flat, there he was ... white sheets covering his body ... he looked to be sleeping ... So Peaceful so so very Peaceful.

We don't know when he died ... we are told approx 1-2 hours before he was found maybe :( We don't know why he died ... there is no obvious reason ... maybe underlying Medical Condition ... we await test results etc ... we are also told ... we may never know why :(

The Police Support, Victim Support, Ambulance staff etc were amazing.

I was told we could stay with Francis until we were ready to let him go with the Coroner. We spent around 5 hours with him, sat around him, talked to him, cried over him, touched him, hugged him, kissed him, just trying to process the reality of the situation.

The Grieving process had begun ... It was real ... My Son had died :(

He was so warm ... I wanted it to ... never end.

Wednesday 24th August 2016 <3

I am Blessed to have such love and support around me :)

I thank each and every one of you who choose to comment, like, pm approach or ring ... just basically for being there ... it shows me how much Francis was loved and appreciated by hundreds and hundreds.

I am Proud to have been his Mum ... Thank You All for giving Me the Pride to be Proud to have been his Mum. <3

My son went to the same school as Francis. He was such an awesome young man and he certainly made the world a better place.
