‘I will grieve birthdays and Christmases we can’t celebrate’published at 17:00 BST
Will Griffiths says that his son’s death leaves “a void that can never be replaced”.
“He must have felt so sad and alone, and it breaks my heart this is what his last few weeks on this earth were like,” he says.
“Ethan couldn’t defend himself.”
He continues: “I will always grieve the birthdays and Christmas mornings we can no longer celebrate with him. I will never see his first day at school, see him grow up, get married or have children of his own. All those special moments were stolen from him and he leaves a void that can never be replaced.
“But the cherished memories that I do have bring me comfort amongst the pain and grief.”
He says he often hears his “affectionate laugh” and is reminded “how lucky I was to be his dad”.
“Ethan will never be forgotten, he was always live on in our hearts. I want him to be remembered for the smiley, outgoing, loving child he was,” he says.
“His memory will be a blessing and he will continue to live on in me forever.”
