Evelyn's Memory Card

Hi my Friends

 

Well today would have been Evelyn's 5th birthday. She was due on Monday the 1st March, she died over night on the 1st-2nd March and came into the world sleeping Wednesday 3rd March 2016.

These three days haunt me every year. Claire is having such a bad time too, and it's so hard with lock down that I can't go and give her a massive mum hug. I can't even go over the Evelyn's tree at the Crematorium as it's out of my county. Luckily Paul has to pass Claire's house on the way to work sometimes so will be able to take Evelyn's gift for her tree, which is called a rusty daffodil. sounds awful doesn't it, but as it weathers it changes to yellows and oranges ( like a daffodil ). Claire & Toby will go over to the Crematorium Wednesday morning while Phoenix is at playgroup so she will put the daffodil there on our behalf. Also Claire collected Momiji's for Evelyn before she was born. They are little message dolls, and this year I bought her Birthday Girl 2021. I wrote a little message and put it inside the doll. I never in my wildest dreams think this would be how I would converse with my beautiful Grand daughter. My heart aches so much for another cuddle with her.

 

 


 

 


 

 





I have to say that this set of dies are the hardest stars to match up and quite uneven. You have to get every single point of the star to match or it would be one of the most mismatch stars ever.

I hope you think it turned out well.

Thank you for popping in.

Love & Hugs

This is a picture of the rusty daffodil. hopefully it will weather into the rusty yellow & gold colours over the years.

  1. Morning Tina, I know from first hand how difficult this time is for you all, the pain some how seems much more pronounced when the anniversaries come around, the card is so beautiful as is the rusty daffodil. Evelyn is up with the angels, she is not in any pain but she is watching over all of you and sending down so much love to you all.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  5. To all of Tina's friends that pop in can you please keep her and the family in your thoughts. Phoenix was taken poorly at nursery this afternoon and Claire was asked to collect him. He had to be tested for covid but as yet no result. Anyway about an hour ago Tina text and told me Phoenix had been taken to hospital unresponsive, so obviously she is terrified so please keep her Paul and Claire in your thoughts. Thank you. Stay safe xx

    1. UPDATE - Luckily Phoenix was released from hospital last night with a severe viral infection. I'm just so pleased it was nothing more, although finding your baby unresponsive must be terrifying and I think as a family they've been through enough over the past 5 years. Love to you Tina Claire and little Phoenix let's have you up and running round with your nursery friends soon xx
