At 3pm on this day five years ago, you took your oxygen mask off and asked if you could go home and play in the lounge. I told you we had to wait for the medicines to work.
You then asked if you could sit on the windowsill, have a glass of water and look outside.
That was the last conversation we ever had.
At 11.20pm, we said goodbye, and you were finally free. Free from the medicines, the needles and the pain.
Five years later, you’ve become a hero to so many people. But to me, you’re more than that.
You had everything I still try to live by: bravery, courage, humility and kindness. We could all learn something from the way you lived your six years.
If you’ve followed our journey over the last five years, thank you.
Today, if you can, share Hugh’s face, his name and his story, so a little boy who showed such bravery, courage, humility and kindness is remembered, or you can donate to the charity in his name 👉 https://t.co/zI4CeysvOq
Love you, son. Always. x
The Kennedy Memorial is made of irreplaceable marble that was gifted by Italy.

The grounds are beautiful with displays of art.
This is what Trump is destroying.
If a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin had paid for Hunter Biden’s lavish island wedding while his dad was the PRESIDENT, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 from now until the midterms and beyond.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi.
