Bereaved Scots mum Moira Miller says CHAS, which first welcomed her little boy to Rachel House in Kinross 30 years ago, has taught her to hold on to her precious son by keeping him in her heart.

It was 24 years ago when her younger boy, James, passed away at the age of nine. Yet, today, Moira still reaches out to the charity whose support and understanding help her through “when the tough days come.” James Miller was born a healthy baby who enjoyed happy, carefree early years with parents Moira and Willie and big brother, Andrew.

But, soon after James’ fifth birthday, his mum found him unresponsive after he’d experienced a fit. When a consultant delivered a diagnosis of degenerative brain disorder, it was clear that life would never be the same again.“My James liked football and digging holes in the garden,” explained Moira. “He was happiest when he was outside and dirty.

He enjoyed playing with his brother and his brother’s friends. His favourite meal was macaroni cheese. Once he became ill, all these things stopped for him.”Although charity CHAS was still in its infancy when James became sick, construction of Rachel House was nearing completion. “CHAS came into my life the Christmas before Rachel House opened,” continued Moira. “A lady came to Edinburgh Royal Hospital for Sick Children to see us and invited us to come and see the hospice."We then went for a visit before it opened, with scaffolding still up around it.
