Our son earned his wings after 11 days in the NICU. Xavier has been my cuddle buddy supporting me through the waves that keep crashing over me. Thank you 🕊️

Thank you so much to the donors of this bear. We received it during a very dark time in January 2024, while grieving the loss of our little boy who we we had to let go after he was diagnosed with a fatal neural tube defect that meant he would not survive past birth. We hold the bear often in times of sadness. Thank you.

We received our beautiful bear in honour of Gus at the birth of our beautiful boy Edward May. When I read the tag for this first time it brought such comfort in knowing Edward already had friends waiting for him and he was not alone. Knowing we too aren’t alone in this journey has bought my family a lot of comfort but also sadness that other families too are heart broken. Edward’s big brother Oliver loves giving the bear cuddles too and please know that Gus memory is very much apart of our families story too. Sending all the to our beautiful boys, always in our hearts.

Thank you to Bobby’s family for this beautiful bear. No one should ever lose a child, I am still coming to terms with my own loss. One day I hope to give back on my baby’s behalf the way that you have done.
