Hi Olga, 
Matty and I have just been reading through your site, which I might add, is bloody brilliant!!
No one should go through the pain and heartache your family have been through, but what remarkable parents you really are what with all the charity events and all that cash you have raised!
We salute you!!!
Love to all of you.

To my friend Olga............  / Claire
Olga, 

On the fourth birthday of your precious angel Gianluca. I am sending you all my love and just wanted to let you know I am there for you. Also that I really do understand your pain and sorrow at losing your beautiful boy. His birthday is such a hard day, you can't help thinking about all of things that you should be doing. I really do believe though that he is somewhere, not too far away, having the best party ever, maybe Jamie is there too...................

Your little boy means so much to you, he always will, he walks on with you all though as you travel through the rest of your days together. He is always by your side, not too far away. 

Losing a child, is so very very painful. It creates a sorrow that you never knew could exist. I know because I lost my precious son Jamie. You should be so very proud of yourself, you and your family honour and remember your little boy by doing positive things to help other children. What a wonderful legacy for Gianluca, what a wonderful way to remember such a special little boy............... I'm sure he looks down on you all and is so very very proud. The pain of losing him will never go away and you will miss him every day for the rest of your life, of that I'm sure, but as time goes on you can hopefully look more and more to the wonderful future that you and your family can have together. It has to be without him here in person, but he IS with you all in everything you do. He is waiting for you, one day you will all be together again, I have to believe that.

Happy Birthday Gianluca, you are so very loved and missed sweet pea.  

"Gone from your arms, but not your memories.
Gone from your sight but never your heart."

hi, your boy is beautiful.x  / Kim Hughes Olivers Mummy X. (mummy to another angel boy! )
hi, my son ollie was a sick child too, and when i read your story of gianluca's life it was os much like ollies i just had too write this.

sick children always touch everyones heart, ollie was loved by everyone also, anyone who met him would never forget him, just like you boy, he never moaned or cryed, he was so caring an good, like gianluca he was miracle too be here too, he was born early weighing 3lb, and was ressussed 5 times, and 8 more times during his last hours, he also sufferd with what they thought was reflux, but it actualy wasnt in the end. our boys are such brave little ones, livfes so hard without the isnt it? i miss my ollie just like you miss your baby, its a shame these special children are taken so early, its all the more harder to cope with.

im sorry for your loss, i understand exactly how your are feeling hun, im only early days still but i dont expect it gets any easier with time, i geuss your feelings still stay the same hun.

its amazing you have the strength to raise funds for charitys, i want to do that for ollie, he was so genorous it would make him proud.
your website for him is luvly too x
goodluck with the fundraising and dont forget to take care of yourself too.
thanks for lighting a candle for ollie it means so much too me, to know hes in peoples thoughts xx
loadsa luv kim an angel ollie x

my beloved Gianluca  / MUMMY (XXXXXXX)
My Beloved Gianluca

Each day i wake up from a terrible dream,
Only to find the world has changed.
I go to your room;your things are still there,
Your teddies ,your noddy and your favourite cream bear.
The scent of you lingers, the smell of your hair
Memories of you i find are everywhere.
Your last paintings and drawings are hanging on the wall.
How do i go on without you by my side?  
To love and hold you with smiles and pride.
My heart it is broken my dear beloved Gianluca,
I miss your laugh your big smiles and hugs.
All of our dreams of the future will never come true
The "whys" and "if onlys" endlessly swirl in my head
Please tell me lord why?
I want to be with you every second of the day
But your daddy and big sister Olivia they need me to stay
Your best friends and family will never ever forget you
Your love and joy your lovely nature
You will live on forever in everyones hearts and minds
I will love you forever and eternity my darling Gianluca.

GianLuca...

Oliver and I will treasure the memories that we have with you... We always looked forward to our friday's each week when mummy, Oliver and I spent special times together... The time that always stays in my mind is when you and Oliver tried to pinch the sweeties at Boots... When mummy and I weren't looking... (You little tinkers)... Whenever we were in your company you brought us love and happiness that will always stay with us... Those little arms would always greet me for a loving cuddle... Those cuddles were so special.

I knew that when your mummy and I became mummies together that you and Oliver would be the best of friends... I was right... (Best friends forever Gianluca and Oliver)... Oliver still dosen't understand were you have gone... We talk about you everyday and your photograph is next to his bed... Where it will stay... I tell him you're with the angels.

I dont know why God took you so soon... but my mum always said "God must be recruiting angels because he always takes the best ones first" (she was right)

GianLuca... your Mummy, Daddy and Olivia are an inspiration... You should be so proud of them... They are so brave... I think your strength has helped them through the last ten months... I promise that I will do my best to look after them, and be there for them always...

Bye Bye for now little angel... Until we meet again...We love and miss you precious boy...
