We were out in the garden enjoying the sunshine and a man walked passed the gate with a little boy who looked about LO's age. He was a little younger actually, 19 months but close enough that they were very pleased with each other.
They were delighed to see each other and so the man stopped to let his son and LO meet properly. They were both very dark, dark hair, brown eyes and the man spoke with heavy foreign accent and said that his son hadn't met a blonde child his age before.
And his little boy was certainly very impressed with LO, he kept laughing and touching his hair and LO was just as smiley back, glad to meet a friend.
And then I asked the man what his son's name was and it was the same name we gave to our first son when he was born sleeping.
It's the first time I've met a child with the same name and it was just so out of the blue. And it just made me sad that I never got to take my first little boy out into the sunshine to meet whoever was there to meet. I know I'm lucky to have LO but it breaks my heart that two of my three children never saw the sunshine on a lovely day.
I just said "That's a very lovely name" to the man and thought I'd coped quite well but when they moved on I said to LO "say goodbye to X" and it choked me up to say his brothers name.
Pointless post really but it was just so unexpected, it's been playing on my mind.

And I want to thank you for sharing it with us 
I feel sad everyday. I lost my Ava 5 weeks ago at 18 weeks and I have 3 boys 20,17 and 11 and this was my only girl and I miss her more than words can ever express. Your feelings are like mine , I think of the many things we will never do, but I know she is watching over us , In my own way it comforts me. 
she was lovely to me thankfully...
