Great writing as always Lauren. I love how deep you went into your memory archives and how it's always so heartwarming to look back on life and find the shiny good bits....Your nan hasn't aged a day...tell her to keep doing what she's doing! ;) Lovely collection of words and a great way to keep all these good times safe and sacred for years to come.... Love you driving the buggy with your poppy...too funny haha :) Brilliant newsletter as always x #whatsforyouwontpassyou

Lovely memories, I am so glad they are still with you, and your friend was right, it does suit you being there, you look so peaceful. Good luck with the exam, I will have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. I will be walking funny and knitting will be tricky, but you are worth it xxx

“A good man.” What a beautiful thing to write. I wish the man in the photo could see what Poppy wrote.

Wonderful post. ♥️

Thank you, it really hit me hard the first time I saw that. I realised he wasn't just going to forget who we were, but he was going to forget who we were to him.

Sending you love, friend. Thank you for reading and sharing.
