THE MEMORY TREE
Tuesday 12th May
Doing the charity walk on Sunday has brought back something I wasn’t expecting. As you know, I recently completed the 8-mile charity walk, but along the way I came across something called a Memory Tree.
It stopped me in my tracks. It was such a beautiful, welcoming space: people gathered quietly, writing messages of love to those they’ve lost. Pens, paper hearts, and stickers were all laid out, inviting anyone to take part. I joined them.
As I stood there, writing, I found myself thinking deeply about my mother-in-law, Sithel who passed in 2010.
Standing at the Memory Tree, surrounded by strangers honouring their own loved ones, I felt grateful for the journey we had together: the roads we travelled to build love, understanding, and respect.
I will never forget her.
Rest in peace my wonderful mother-in-law - Sithel Robinson.

LOVE HEART MEMORIES
Monday 11th May
As many of you know, I walked in honour of specific family members we lost due to a terminal illness. It was great that the organisers set aside a spot for us to fill out messages to them and hang them on a tree. It was Beautiful and as you can imagine, it was quite emotional - my hands were literally shaking, but I managed to write out messages for everyone💞
My legs are still actually on fire, BUT....
I feel so Fulfilled💞it’s Great!!!
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME 💞& the wonderful work of all the staff at ST CHRISTOPHER'S💞
Peace & Love Always,
Val💞
