Bradley Lowery

[Toffee in Jandals]

Heartbreaking and so incredibly sad, there really aren't the words. Can only hope that Bradley is comfortable.

This may have been mentioned already, but would love it if the club could organize a pre-season game at the Stadium of Light against Sunderland in Bradley's honor. The proceeds from the game could go to a charity of the choosing of Bradley's astonishingly brave parents. May not be the time for it this pre-season, but 2018, definitely.

My two boys my world my everything

You must all know how much Bradley and your family are loved by millions of people and how much goodness that young hero has brought into a world that badly needs inspiration.

The light he has shone on the darkness that sometimes threatens to dominate us mortals, comes from the greatest source of Goodness that we only view through a dark, dirty glass.

Please accept the love and thanks of the BR family now and forever for this brief glimpse of that supreme Goodness through Bradley.

The brightest light casts the darkest shadows. We will understand why we have to suffer some day....for now we must try to turn out of the dark cave in which we live on earth and move towards the distant light of Goodness that we believe is our ultimate end.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends".

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has conceived what God has in store for us."

God bless Bradley and all of you.

So sad. No words really. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

God bless little Bradley and his family.

I find Bradley and his family a true inspiration in a world where lots seems to be going the wrong way.

How he keeps smiling through everything is something that will stick with me for a very long time.

I pray for a miracle for Bradley. Keep fighting little man.

I read this with great sadness.

My own daughter Lilly, also aged six, has been being treated for leukaemia since a few days after her fourth birthday.

I've been to the hospital with her this afternoon where she had, what I pray will be, her last significant chemotherapy treatment.

She is scheduled to have minor surgery next Tuesday to remove her port, and then her oral chemo stops in July.

I can't even begin to describe what it's like seeing one of your own children go through something like this, even when it seems you have a successful outcome.

One of Lillys school friends (same year) was also diagnosed with leukaemia and very sadly lost her fight in February this year.

Lilly was hospitalised on Christmas Day with a serious infection (has happened numerous times over the last 2.5yrs) and was supported by the critical care team, permanently on oxygen and various antibiotics before pulling through and being discharged on 3rd January.

During this time the other little girl was also in, but very sadly did not get out when Lilly did and subsequently lost her fight in early February.

The doctors are superb, but it is the nurses that are amazing. It is the nurses that spent night after night looking after my gorgeous little girl, giving her the chance that she now has.

I don't know how the nurses cope, it's not just a job, they really bond with the children. When you're just so exhausted that you can't stay awake at 4.00am, it's the nurses that support your child, physically, emotionally... in every way.

Unfortunately Mother Nature can be a complete b1tch...

My heart goes out to Bradley's family...

My unending gratitude goes out to the underpaid, overworked angels that care for our children as if they were there own... the nurses are my heroes, along with my little Lilly x

Hopefully mate lily doesn't have to undergo any more treatment and lives a healthy happy life. No child deserves to go through that.
Sounds like she is a real fighter. Just some like poor Bradley can't shake it off

Best wishes and thoughts to Lily and all of your family. I can't begin to imagine what you all have been through. I will say a little prayer for her tonight

Best wishes for the future for you, your family and particularly Lily! Totally agree with your view on the nurses who look after our kids as well, speaking from personal experience with both of our kids!!

It's horrifying to read this, I hope your little girl gets through it all and has a long productive life x
My mate is a paediatrician, his wife says his often cries his heart out when he gets home- I deliver them, I couldn't look after them- so glad you have a strong team for her.

Good luck mate.
I often wonder just why things happen in this world.
Can't explain it.

As for the duration I have become a Bradley and Sunderland fan in his honor. Sunderland may have lost their battle but I pray Bradley will pull off that miracle escape. May your God be with you little one!

I always liked Sunderland anyway, they always seemed a proper club to me? But since this little feller has toddled onto the scene, i behave like a Sunderland fan! I was gutted when they went down as well as when i heard Defoe was leaving. All because i knew it would cause a little man who has suffered so much pain in his short life, to suffer even more. The Mackems will always be a team i look for now and one I will always hope do well, because i will forever associate them with people like Bradley, his brother and his mum and dad, all people i feel nothing but pride and respect for.
