Jareth
(Who always called himself Jaffaf)

09.07.06-15.04.09

Jareth has left this world
his spirit has gone forth
with all a parents love
leaving an ache that will never completely heal
but eventually a scar will form
In time another childs laughter wont hurt
but simply remind us of the joy Jareth brought
One world ends
and a new one must take its place
which we must learn to live in.

Jareth passed away on the 15 April. of a cranial hemorrhage.

People keep asking what happened, so here it is in brief:
Jareth had been sick (throwing up for 3 days, just once each day) on the third day he got a nose bleed and then threw up blood (I wasn't home when these happened) the morning of the third day. His mum (Moern, my now ex-de facto wife) called an ambulance rushed him to hospital, called me to meet her there.
He seemed fine but really sleepy when I got there so they did blood tests. Which came back saying his platelet count was very low...
We were there for about 8 hours with him on a drip thinking everything would be fine when his breathing started to falter and he was extremely listless, Moern noticed his heart rate was slow and erratic...they put him on life support and sent him for a CT scan...we waited about two hours, they came back saying he was bleeding out into his brain and they didn't expect him to live the night...we sat holding him (having called all our close friends and family). His heart rate spiked at about 1:00am on the 15th while Moern was holding him, which is probably when he stopped being conscious...
We, me and Moern, took turns holding him until the next night when they declared him brain dead and turned off the life support...his body died in my arms...

This is before his heart rate spiked, I was talking to him telling him how much we love him and playing his favourite cartoon theme songs on my phone.

Our (me and his mother Moern) memorial tattoos:

Jareth almost always called himself "Jaffaf".
He was born (by Chinese astrology) in the year of the dog
(which we prefer to think of as wolf)
under the element of fire.

Jareth as I will always remember him:
