dazajmbo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Can't even begin to understand how you feel Laurie & Gail, so I wont pretend to. Tragic and unfair, but Lewis would be very proud of how amazing his parents were, and forevermore will continue to be. If you want my number or email address etc etc then please give me a shout. I'll be glad to be an ear or a voice to speak to, even if just for a rant or something that may be bottling up. All the best to you both and the way you were with Lewis really shows you are made to be parents and hopefully another chance will come as naturally you deserve Darren.

jamboinglasgow Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Such a horrible tragedy, and my thoughts are with Laurie and Gail.

Heartsofgold Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 On a personal basis, I understand how Laurie and Gail feel, my wife and I had 4 miscarriages but all at fairly early stages so something like this is utterly heartbreaking. I was in tears reading through his words and I cannot imagine the courage it took to write them and put them on a public forum. RIP Lewis Dunsire. Know that you were loved and cherished by mum and dad. I hope and wish the very best for Gail and Laurie in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie if you are reading any of these mate, you are an incredibly strong human being and we are all here for you in any way we can support you and hope it brings you any amount of love and hope it can. you talk about your son Lewis is such a beautiful way and the love you feel is very evident.

Papa Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Life can be so cruel at times. I imagine Laurie did not want Lewis’s short life to be in vain and has written this wonderful epitaph for his beloved son. He probably found doing so to be therapeutic. I have found in life that, although we find it impossible to understand why these tragedies happen, they often have a purpose and impact that we could barely imagine. RIP Lewis.

Clark Griswold Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Firstly, very sorry to hear about this tragic loss. Having kids myself, I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is or how both Laurie and Gail are feeling right now. The fact Laurie has had the courage to put this in the public domain is incredible and says a lot about his character. If you are reading this Laurie, I am sure I am correct in saying the whole Hearts family are behind you. RIP Lewis, rest easy wee man.

Rudy T Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 My advice to you both (Laurie and Gail) is to be there for each other, try and talk about your emotions and don’t bottle it up (and I know how hard that is for a bloke). There’s no easy way to get through this other than to give each other all the love and support the other one needs. Time is a great healer and one day you’ll be ready to start a family again (as unlikely as that sounds right now) and I’m sure just reading what you’ve managed to put down in words about baby Lewis you’ll make fantastic parents and we’ll have more members of the Heart of Midlothian family. Take care of yourselves. Rest in Peace wee Lewis❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always painful to talk about (and in a way is only kind of mine to tell, as it didn't happen inside me) but I think it's important, because you feel so lonely when it happens, but it's happened to so many people.
