“Eddie had been incredibly unwell. He had an enormous amount of tubes and all sorts of devices going in and out of his body. He was incredibly sick, we weren't quite sure if he was going to make it. They were very short staffed, but this one nurse, whose name I will never forget, her name is Emma, she helped me bath him and put some fresh clothes on him and wash his hair. It gave me some time to hold him and be near him and create a memory I’ll never forget, years later.”
- Ali, mum to Eddie
