Our beautiful cheeky chubby little Hugo died in our arms after contracting a rare form of bacterial Meningitis and septicaemia. It was the 10th April 2014 and he had turned exactly 20 months. This was a sudden tragedy and we are still trying to understand why this has happened to him. The meningitis took effect rapidly and even when we had raised alarm bells in its early stages there was nothing that anyone could have done to save his life. We stayed at his bedside every day at Epsom Hospital and when Hugo was rushed to intensive care at King's College Hospital, still fighting his infections, he was given a few days to live. He held out until the day that his grandparents and uncles arrived from Hong Kong and although unconscious, he gave them a precious and final 6 hours of love and farewells. He died surrounded by all his loving family. Our grief is hard to bear and the sense of longing for our poor baby permeates every part of our daily lives. Hugo loved iPhones, iPads, storytime with Daddy and Jasper, chasing Jasper around the house, eating soya ice cream, splashing at bathtime and getting everybody wet, going to the park and pulling flowers apart, watching Your Baby can Read, riding horsey horsey on everyone, sliding down mummy's legs, getting granddad to blow cold the food in his mouth, getting grandmum to pick him up whenever he felt like it, dancing to Lady Gaga, doing Insanity with Mummy, swimming with Mummy at Waterbabies, blowing bubbles in the bath, sweeping the floor with a broom, playing in the garden, singing the okey-cokey, playing row row row the boat on the musical book, playing with his bedroom light switch, climbing on the step in the kitchen to reach for food and crashing into the Fatboy beanbag in the living room. Hugo's death was unexpected, transforming our lives and our perception of everything that we hold dear. We will never live the same way again without him and we are slowly learning to accept that we must suffer our loss forever. We wish to keep his memory alive by setting up his forever fund.
