In a heartbreaking tribute to her son, Albie's mum Leah vowed to 'find a way to be strong'. She said: "Albie was an incredibly loving, affectionate and caring boy who just wanted everyone to be happy. "I will miss absolutely everything about Albie, his voice, his smile, the smell of his skin and the feel of his little hands on my face when he would say ‘I love you mummy girl’. I always call him my little sunshine boy because he has brought so much light into my life and he is my little ray of sunshine, and I don’t want his life to end here, I need to carry on living for him and take him with me wherever I go.
