Hello Everyone!
The past two weeks have been really hard for us. We still can't believe that our son is gone. It's difficult waking up every morning and realising that he's not here with us anymore. We really miss him. If you knew Sebby, he was always bubbly and loved connecting with people. He was full of energy, sweet, and eager to know you more. How we wish he was able to meet all of you.
We are extremely grateful for all the support you've given us. We had no idea a give-a-little page was created about my son and it’s surreal how many people have shown their support. Thanks to our churchmates from Jesus Is Lord Church Wellington, and thanks to all of you.
Just to give you an update regarding his sudden death, the Pathologist’s early opinion is: complications of streptococcus pyogenes sepsis due to tonsillitis and pharyngitis with left parapharyngeal abscess. We are still waiting for the final outcome of the autopsy which we’re told could take a while.
To my fellow parents, life is short. Please relish your time with your kids. Always hug, kiss, and say I Love You to them every morning and before they go to sleep. We did all these things to Sebby, and wish we had more time to keep doing them.
If your kid is unwell, please listen carefully and emphasize their complaints to the health care professional; never have second thoughts on asking how confident they are with their diagnosis if in doubt.
Again, my wife, Sebby’s little brother Sedric, and myself thank you all with all of our hearts.
