Emma is our daughter, born 14 June 1988, who stayed with us for just one day. We have taken part in the Light a Light procession every year since, this is her part of Christmas.

Tilly is our first grandchild, born March 2020, whom we have not been able to meet and cuddle yet due to the COVID Pandemic and travel restrictions across the World. Instead of being able to show her the Christmas Tree in person, to have her own light shining on it is the next best thing.

Christmas was always a special time between my Dad and I. Always big on traditions, we would go pick out a tree together, decorate it and the house whilst listening to Christmas music and eating mince pies!
This year marks 5 years since he passed away, and I have struggled to uphold these traditions the past 5 years, but I finally feel like I will be able to get back to them this year with the fond memories of Christmases past and smile knowing he would be happy that I can get back to enjoying a holiday that I have always loved.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love and miss you everyday. I hope that I do you proud with my Christmas tree choice!! 🙂 xxxx

This will be my first Christmas without my beloved Florence, and I sadly miss her with all my heart. I know that this is what Florence would have wanted as St Barnabas made her last days comfortable.

My dear Mum. I miss you lots Always loved. Think about you every day. 21 years ago on the December 20th we said goodbye Love Karen, Jim and Sam xxx

As you mentioned, when the fireworks go off across the season we will continue to think of you and your forever spirit (living on in us) remembering silly moments including you allowing swings on beams inside!

Christmas can be a magical but sad time.

I have wonderful memories of times past that bring me great joy and you were a central part of them. I have to learn how to accept that our journeys are different now.

Always in my heart and in my memories, with love Mum. To a very special woman from your daughter.

For my wonderful, beautiful Lynnie. Taken too soon, you had so much more to give. You'll be forever in my heart xx
