“I would be induced a few hours later so he would be born silent but perfect at 7:54 in the morning. next morning.
This time of year never gets easier. I can’t believe tomorrow it will be 10 years since he was born,” she wrote.
Alongside the touching message, the mum shared three photos including prints of Alfie’s feet and hands and his grave surrounded by flowers and a cute teddy bear.

“Our hearts are breaking, you will always be a big part of our lives Alfie, know that we love you so much.”

The Radfords now call Alfie their “lost heartbeat” and Sue has paid tribute to her late son in a very special way.
Sue previously explained that the reason she has a tattoo of little footprints on her hand is because of Alfie.
She said: “I’ve received a lot of messages and comments asking what the tattoo is on my hand. So I thought I’d post it to show you.
“The tattoo on my hand is Alfie’s handprints and I also have his footprints on my foot. I love being able to always see the prints of his little hands on my hand and that his little feet are always with me wherever I go.”
