Care for the Family Article

Just a quick update. I've started at my voluntary job working in the garden at The Grange in Bookham, a home for disabled adults. I've been twice now and each time I've been the sun has been shining - I'm not looking forward to working in the rain. The people there are lovely and friendly and it's good to be outside in the fresh air. I'm only doing every other Monday morning so it's not too difficult.

We've just received an e-mail to say they have published our story in the latest Care for the Family newsletter. This is the group that we are in touch with who hold the Day for Bereaved Parents. They asked us if we would like to write up a piece on our story and we agreed. You can find it at the following www.careforthefamily.org.uk/bpn/newsletter Hope you like it. X

Luke's 16th Birthday - 22nd February 2009

Sorry, not very good at posting very frequently. Running out of things to say! Luke's 16th Birthday was on a Sunday and we had all the family over and went for a walk up to the treehouse with 16 blue helium balloons. It was quite windy when we arrived there and the balloons got completely tangled up together, which made it a bit of a task to unravel them. We planted some daffodils and hyacinths around the bottom of the tree and roses were placed in the branches. My nephew Doug climbed up high and tied Neil's Chelsea top to one of the branches. Neil tried to climb it too but didn't get too far. The snowdrops were through and it looked very pretty and peaceful there. We all had a balloon and tied Surrey Air Ambulance leaflets to each one. As we all let them go together they fell a few feet from us all. It made us laugh. Lukey must have been having a laugh. We walked back via the churchyard and laid flowers at Lukey's grave. Everyone came back to ours for lunch. It was good to see everyone but sad that someone was missing. Love you Lukey. xxx
