The last two days have been absolute 💔🥹

The side no one sees… 💜

Everyone who knows Jaxon knows he is forever poorly, he literally picks up every bug going and the poor boy just never gets a break 😭💔

But Monday was a whole different level of scary.

All day I kept saying to Linda and his Nan that Jaxon just wasn’t himself. I even said I thought he was having absence seizures and it took me straight back to when he was having them after his open heart surgery 😭💔

Fast forward to around 7pm and my poor baby had a full on seizure, went completely lifeless in front of me and ended up in an ambulance to hospital 💔

Seeing your little boy like that is something I can’t even put into words 😭

We were allowed home Monday night but Tuesday he was still completely out of it, barely responding and just not my Jaxon, so back to hospital we went 🥹

Now I’m just praying this isn’t something else to add to his already long list of needs. My poor boy already has so much to deal with 😭

And health anxiety as a parent is so so real!!! When you’ve been through so much with your child your mind automatically goes to the worst. You can’t help it, because you’ve already lived through things you never thought you’d have to. That fear never leaves you, no matter how much you try not to worry 🥹💔

Our Celebration of Life parties are now live on our website.

This has come from such a deeply personal place in our hearts. We know how precious time is. We know how important it is to make memories, to have photos, to hear laughter, to see your child surrounded by the people they love most, and to have one beautiful day that is completely about them.

These parties are about celebrating a child for exactly who they are. Their personality, their smile, their favourite things, their people, their little ways, their whole beautiful self 💜

And bringing this to life would not have been possible without our incredible Claire Corrigan 🥹

Clair is a parent from our centre, and she has spent so much of her own time helping us build our website completely free of charge.

No payment. No expectation. Just kindness, love and a genuine desire to help us make something special for other families.

We will never be able to thank her enough for that🥹🥹

She has taken something that lived in our hearts and helped us turn it into something real🥲

And when we look at the website now, it makes us soooo emotional. Its more beautiful than we could have imagined 🥹💜 thank you soooooo much Claire Corrigan 💜💜💜

Our Lumiere families really are just the best 🥹💜

we get blown away all the time by how much they think of us and all our little ones.💜

It was Kirsty’s 40th and instead of spending her birthday money on herself, she wanted to treat our children 🥹💜

how lovely is that 😭

Thank you so much Kirsty, it means the world to us. We hope you had the best 40th birthday 💜🎉

And btw… it has been a HIT 😂

The little ones have already found themselves a little hiding place and basically told us to go away 🤣🤣

Not gonna lie though… perfect for the parents to get 5 mins peace and have a cuppa 😂☕️

What a gorgeous family thank you Kirsty Williams you're amazing!!!! 💜💜 and thank you so much to C WILLIAMS PROPERTY SOLUTIONS for putting it together and always being their when needed 💜 ###

When you’ve sat beside your child in hospital not knowing what the next few hours or days are going to bring, it changes you. We’ve had more than one moment with Jaxon where we’ve been absolutely terrified of losing him, and it’s a feeling I wouldn’t wish on any parent 💔

It’s made us realise even more just how precious every little moment is, and how important it is to make memories while you can.

Hayley has also told us all about her beautiful daughter, Holly Dolly 🩷 We never had the privilege of meeting Holly ourselves, but through Hayley we feel like we’ve come to know a little piece of her. Hearing about the little girl she was, the love she brought into their lives and the memories they made together has really stayed with us. Her story has touched our hearts in a way we can’t really explain, and she continues to inspire us to create something beautiful for other families going through the unimaginable 🥹💐

So every 4–6 weeks, we want to give back by offering a Celebration of Life party for a child with a life limiting illness or receiving end of life care 💜

We want every child to feel loved and made to feel more special. To have a day that is completely about them, filled with smiles, laughter, photos and the most precious memories for their family to hold onto forever 🥹

If this is something you would love for your child, our request form will be live on our website tomorrow by 12pm 💜 Please fill it in and we’ll aim to get back to everyone as soon as we can 💜

In remembrance of our beautiful Holly Dolly 💐🩷

A little girl we never got to meet, but whose story will always stay with us and continue to inspire what we do 🩷

My heartttt 🥹💕

Melody at the Pride Of Britain with her dad, holding a little Lumiere flyer.🥹

Seeing her carrying a little piece of Lumiere into a room filled with so many special and inspiring people makes us so proud of everything this little idea of Lumiere has grown into!!💜

Lumiere is such a huge part of Melody too she’s part of the reason this exists in the first place. Advocating for her baby brother, and for every family like ours 🥹🥹💜

One for the memory box forever. Love you forever, baby girl ✨💜
