like father, like son

Sad and happy poignant moment for you.
They do live on through mannerisms that the child could not possibly have copied or picked up.
My thoughts are with you.

Just sending love from one mother to another ?

Kind thoughts grannyactivist.

(((hugs))) ga!

Thinking of you and your family

grannyactivist what a sad moment for you, but in a different way, comforting that your son in law shines through in your grandson.

Love and hugs

Ga. ??

Nothing like photos for bringing back memories evoking tears as well as smiles. How sad for your daughter (and you) but how wonderful his dad lives on in his son

This really strikes a chord and I feel for you. My son died as a child and when my granddaughters were born the one looked very much like him but what was so amazing was she developed several of the same mannerisms as him even though she had never seen him. Sometimes when she turned and smiled a certain way it made my heart lurch it was like he had come back. Not so apparent now she is 8, he died at nearly 5 . Bitter sweet really.

This must be a comfort for you grannyactivist It's much the same for me, my son in law died when his son was only a few months old but my grandson has some traits which remind us so much of his father. My thoughts are with you

Such bitter sweet memories ga. for you and your daughter and family on this sad day.

no words.

grannyactivist - shows that his father is continuing to live on in him.

Condolences and

Ga what a poignant post and twiceasnice so sad you lost your son too. Young or old, to lose a child must be dreadful

My sister had beautifully shaped and quite small hands that were much admired. It was at her funeral nearly 30 years ago that I realised DD had exactly the same hands, only slightly larger. Now whenever I see daughter doing anything, I am looking at her hands and remembering my DS.

A happy rising to your wee boy’s dad, and hugs for you.

My brother died last year, and his son’s in-laws, who are Hindus, told me he would come back to the family, and that their own daughter was, without a doubt, the reincarnation of Kamalendu’s mum. We have since welcomed a new grandson, so will be keeping a close eye on him!

Happy and sad are sometimes so closely intertwined it’s hard to see to see which is which. Thinking of you and your family today
