dinosaur lover
«I cannot express with words what I feel, I am broken beyond my words. I feel like it's not real, I don't want it to be real, they kept him on life support until we could say goodbye. He was the double of his father, very smart but cheeky at the same time, "said her mother.
At the age of five, Kyle was in love with dinosaurs. "We say that instead of angel wings, dinosaur wings have grown," says his mother. For the funeral they personalized T-shirts with the child's photo and a blue heart, a dinosaur and the message 'Kyle-saurus'. In addition, the mother has revealed a very special anecdote: they made a memorial on the stairs at home and a dinosaur fell in the place where the boy used to leave his toys.

sunk in pain
A friend of the Lewis family has opened a GoFundMe fundraising campaign for the boy's parents and five sisters "to make things a little easier for the family." At the moment they have already achieved a thousand pounds (just over €1,000), which may alleviate the situation that Kyle's family is experiencing, although it will not quench his pain.
"After the funeral I won't be able to hug him anymore. When I was there I would go two or three times a week, I would go up to the bed with him and talk to him. This is destroying me, people tell me to be strong, but it's not that easy," laments his mother, who remembers the afternoons in the hospital.
He assures that he does not know how to grieve and that he feels "like a robot" with a broken heart. Mrs. Lewis has taken the opportunity to thank the staff of the Leeds Hospital for their attention to the minor. And above all, for having allowed his parents to be with him in one last hug.
