I'm here because that other place is dying a horrible death. Mostly talk about TV and moan about daily life. Father of 3 including a young son with rare genetic disorder MPS II who we sadly lost recently. Ipswich, England.

Won't say much other than definitely glad I went in spoiler free on that. Who knew the Eurovision based episode would be quite that powerful. #DoctorWho

All finished. One of my favourite sets ❤️ #Lego #Transformers

The saddest thing about looking at photos is knowing I'll never be able to take another one ❤️

#DoctorWho has been wonderful this series. Not that I didn't like it before but this is definitely a level above. Anyone moaning about diversity or any other rubbish needs to live in the real world. A show about time and space should never just be stuck in London with a bunch of white people.

Quick break from Optimus Prime #Lego to do something #StarWars related instead.

Not sure what my therapy will be after I get through all my Lego and books. Oh wait.. buy more Lego and more books. Good plan.

Cake crisis solved. Everything all ready for funeral and wake tomorrow. Now to just get through that 😫

Well that's the death registered. Most depressed I've ever been receiving a certificate 😒

I've posted this pretty much everywhere so why not here too. We lost our son yesterday. If anyone would like to donate to the hospice that looked after him we'd really appreciate the support. Thanks to everyone that has so far ❤️ www.justgiving.com/page/wilfy?u...

Every day has a pretty rubbish "to do" list lately. Today - register his death. Tomorrow - funeral. I guess it has to get better after that right?

@gregjenner.bsky.social Hi Greg! Wondered if you could do me a favour as you're more popular than me 🙂 Our son Wilfred recently passed away. We're trying to raise money for the local hospice in his memory. Would you be able to share this for us? Thanks so much ❤️ www.justgiving.com/page/wilfy?u...

Oh man. Thunderbolts hit hard emotionally. #Marvel #Filmsky

Rubbish week of funeral planning. Finding photos and trying to write appropriate words to pay tribute to our son Wilfred. Even our daughters have contributed 🥹 Having a cheer up session with the girls watching @oohgaryc.bsky.social and @adamhattan.com - always guaranteed smiles ❤️

As with pretty much everything he does, the latest Louis Theroux documentary is well worth a watch. He remains very impartial in some tough circumstances. #tvsky

Next #Lego therapy piece to start.

It's okay to hurt. It's okay to struggle. All of it is okay. We're all human. Give yourself that time. It's easy to see the world carrying on and thinking you have to keep going but you don't. Allow time to hurt.

@manmademoon.bsky.social Duncan! I'm going to be SUPER cheeky here. Our 3 year old son Wilfred recently passed away and we're trying to raise funds for the local hospice in his honour. Any chance you'd be able to share for me? I'll watch Moon again.. www.justgiving.com/page/wilfy?u...

#Lego therapy is going well. #StarWars

Despite all the talk of ratings and whatever, Ncuti's #DoctorWho run so far has been exceptional. Both from a writing and performance perspective.

Friendship isn't defined by the outdated notion of how much time you spend together. Friendship is about caring. It's about showing up when it counts. Whether it's every day or a few months go past or even years. That doesn't matter. True friendship exists beyond location and timelines.

Only two things keeping me sane at the moment - Lego and reading. As lovely as receiving flowers is, someone should've thought to branch out into Lego and books by now. They're more fun. I use the word "sane" very loosely by the way.

The saddest thing in the dark times is the people you don't hear from. I get it. What do you say? It's difficult. But it's better to reach out than not at all. I've had more supportive messages and conversations from people I've never met than silence from some others. But hey. Life carries on.

Well I can tell you that looking through a catalogue of child coffins is not the most enjoyable shopping experience I've ever had.

Done 3 Lego sets in the past week. Definitely something they should prescribe on NHS.

I never knew anything could hurt this much. I'd give anything to bring you back. Anything 💔

The hardest moments are those few seconds when I wake up and everything feels normal. Then everything comes back. The ugly reality. The pain. The anxiety.

As if losing our son wasn't bad enough, it's our eldest daughter's 10th birthday tomorrow and she's just heartbroken at the moment. Should be a special time but the one thing she wants is something we can't give her 😔
