Eight (plus) years ago, I joined a Yahoo group of Mums whose babies were due to be born in October 1999. My first child was due late in the month, and as he was going to be my first, and as I was a long way away from home, I wanted to share my experience with other women going thru the whole 'new baby' thing.
In that group was a girl we called Leigh. That wasn't her name, but that is what we called her, then.
Eight years ago today, 'Leigh' gave birth to Conor. Today, Conor should have been eight years old.
But he got sick with a leukaemia called JMML and on 4th February 2004, he left us.
When Conor got sick, 'Leigh' opened a website for him, and she has just made a new entry, partly to welcome her new son - Samuel - into the world, and here is the link

Go say "Hi!" and wish Conor a happy birthday
