"Not after loving them more than life itself. 💔 God, this is too painful to bear. 😭 But you gave him to me, and you have called him back. Why? Was I not a good mother? Didn’t I love him enough?! Where did I go wrong, Lord?"
"Please forgive me and let me know so that when you return him to me, I won’t lose him again. 🙏 Rest In Perfect Peace, my Beloved Son. 🕊️ My heart is broken into pieces. There is nothing joyful in this life without you in it. Please do return to Mummy. 🙏 I love you forever, son ❤️."
