Connor Sparrowhawk (Laughing Boy)

Sunflower

Connor Sparrowhawk would have been 24 today. He died in the most terrible circumstances, failed by an NHS Trust that should have protected him. 

His mother Sara Ryan fought tirelessly for justice after Connor's death, showing immense courage when her credibility and character were attacked in the most vicious way.

Here is a blog she has written about the birth and death of her beloved Laughing Boy:

    I used to pick posies like this as a child. I found it calming, like meditation. So full of sorrow at what Connor and Sara had to endure.

    I was struggling to get out of bed this morning, reading Sara's blog when a butterfly appeared, dancing at the window. Then it came right into the room and I had to get up to release it. A beautiful Red Admiral. 

    I went out into the garden to see what was in bloom and picked 24 flowers and sprigs for Sara and her Laughing Boy.

  • I wrote to her after reading her excellent paper the other week.  I didn't get a reply, but didn't expect one.  I fully support her.
