Each year I wonder how this came to be, each year I wish I was buying toys instead of flowers and candles.
Our darling Florence would have been four yesterday had she survived.
I've tried and failed to put into words exactly the impact of her missing from our lives has had. Mere words can never do justice to the agony.
Still, we wrap our pain carefully deep in our chest's and we carry on. We even smile and laugh and we know joy. We feel everything now, every little thing .
Nothing though will ever stop me wishing I could hold my sweet beautiful girl in my arms, take her to a toy shop and buy her a gift.
Instead I will share here a few photos from her day yesterday. Lady Mabel Wood (Florence's wood) is so beautiful at this time of year, brimming with wild flowers, butterflies and dragonflies and grasshoppers. Woody took the photo above of a moment of peace.
