On Tuesday afternoon, we said goodbye to our beautiful little Dukey boy at just 10 years young. The most devastating loss I have ever felt.
We feel so lucky to have had him in our lives at all, and can’t thank him enough for all the happiness and joy he brought.

Pleased to play a small part in telling the story. Talking to/filming the people featured so inspiring.
