@Ceeparty22 @helblythe My deepest sympathy

@helblythe This is my son Lethabo and we lost him too this year, I also just want people to know that he existed and to see his beautiful face and know that he meant everything to us.

This is my son, Benedict. He died yesterday, suddenly, aged 5. I just want everyone to know that he existed, and to see his beautiful smile and know how wonderful he was. He was such a bright spark, the kindest boy. His time with us was the greatest gift 💔
