    IF THIS IS ANY HELP The way I deal with Christmas. Lost my son Tim, age 13 on 13th Dec, he died of a heart attack at his school Christmas disco. I lay a wreath at his grave on that day, I pray & cry each year. I then prepare to have a happy family Christmas. Tim would want that❤️

    DECEMBER 13th AGAIN . Most emotional day of the year for me. The day my 13 year old son collapsed & died at his school Christmas Disco. I flush out my tears today & prepare to make him proud again. A Liverpool fan so I console myself by playing YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE.❤️ Luv u

    WHEN I LOST MY 13 YEAR OLD SON who died of a heart attack while dancing at his school Christmas Disco, thought I’d never recover. Took me ages but decided to provide life experiences for kids that sadly Tim would be denied.This was the birth of Hull Children’s University 😊❤️
