Charlotte’s Brain Tumour Journey
18.2.1997 – 24.2.2016
Diagnosis to death: 951 days
Age 19

12 years ago today, Miles, Charlotte and I went for an early evening walk to Brighton Marina. It was a beautiful, long walk on a hot summer’s evening.

We had no idea what lay ahead.

Just 629 days later, Charlotte would die from her brain tumour, and Miles would become an only child.

Looking back at photographs from that evening, it is impossible not to wonder how life can change so completely in such a short space of time.

A simple family walk. An ordinary summer evening.

The kind of moment you never realise will one day become so precious.

Watching your child in pain, no matter their age, is one of the most indescribable feelings in the world.

I often used to say to Charlotte that her pain hurt me a thousand times more than it hurt her, simply because there was nothing I could do to take it away or make her feel better.

I would have given anything to swap places with her, to carry that pain myself instead of watching her endure it.

It's a feeling that never leaves you.

If you're able to pop a £ in Charlotte's Bag 100% will go to research. A RT would also be much appreciated. TY

I lost my 13 year old daughter to #BrainCancer & that unimaginable pain became my purpose.

Shortly after my Ashley passed, I founded Cancer Response Team (@Nonprofit4Kids) to ensure Children with cancer can access supportive & integrative care that insurance often refuses to cover. Since then, we’ve already helped hundreds of families. ❤️

If you believe no Child should ever fight cancer alone & no parent should be left abandoned after the battle, I’m asking you to Follow me right now. I share raw, honest stories, survivor victories, practical ways you can help today & the hard truths most people prefer to look away from.

Turn on notifications, drop a 💛 and tag one person who needs to see this.

Charlotte. Forever 19. Her life over. That's just not right.
This small charity needs help to raise money for more research to allow people to live their lives. Please help this to become a reality. Please make a small donation, if you can.
Thank you ❤️

Even with her head looking like this, Bella still smiles. Even when the inside of her head feels like a thousand shards of glass, she keeps fighting. She still finds beauty in the world around her every day. She laughs & giggles at the silly moments with her friends & family. And she continues to hope for a better tomorrow.

Bella does all of this & if Bella can… so can you.
💜 Bella 💜

18.2.97 - 24.2.16
Brain Cancer

Today I found myself thinking that Charlotte would have been 30 next year.

Somehow, the loss feels even greater now than it ever has before. I see people from her year group getting married, buying homes, and announcing pregnancies, and it's impossible not to think about the life she should have had too.

Charlotte will be forever 19.

One thing I know for certain is that you never get over the loss of a child. You simply learn to carry it through the years  through every milestone, every celebration, and every reminder of what might have been.

The years pass, but the love remains. So does the longing for all the moments that should have been.

Twelve years ago today I took this photo. A charity treated Charlotte to a shopping spree at Topshop in London.

I’d give anything to relive that day the smiles, the laughter, and having Charlotte beside me enjoying her favourite pastime.
