I remember my first day of school.
My new bag and pencil case.
Being waved off by my Mum and Dad. They were so proud.
It should be my daughter's turn. I should be walking her to the gates.
Waving her off on new adventures,
wiping away a tear as she takes that big step into school life.
It's been five years, but you never get over the pain of losing a child due to cot death.
She's not the only one.
There's an empty classroom this year which should be filled.
30 children who don't get to start school.
And since 1985,
there have been 64 empty primary one classrooms.
We're working to give more children their first day at school.
Let's break the silence around cot death.
