On Saturday we travelled to Warrington
To join our friends walking a mile in memory
A mile in memory of Matilda Mae
We were on our way to The Lakes
For a week of lake side living
And our friends agreed to help us
Hold Tilda’s Mile in Memory on the way
Heather, Susanne and Lisa worked hard to put together the perfect day
Last year our miles were big events
But this year I wanted something smaller
A special time in a special place
With special people
To remember our very special little girl
We walked at Walton Gardens
The sun was blazing down
The children loved the play park
Esther and William could not believe there was a Helter Skelter there!
We played and talked and set the walk
The very lovely Minty adorned us all
With Baby Tilda stars
And then we walked
We walked and talked
We remembered
It was a perfect pink and purple day
The walk was signposted with pink and purple balloons
The park was filled with pink and purple flowers
Including some very beautiful Baby Tilda bluebells
That made us think back to our first mile last year
It was wonderful to see all the children playing together
But tugged at my heart knowing the reason we were there
I could see all day the places she should be
Trying to copy the older children
Rolling down the hill
Esther and William had a wonderful time
Blowing bubbles
Catching bubbles
Remembering their sister
They even spotted pink and purple things
While riding on the train
It was a wonderful family day
A picnic in the park
And we remembered
As another year has passed
Without Matilda Mae
It will soon be 16 months that she has been gone
It just does not seem possible
Soon she will have been dead
For twice as long as she was alive
Another milestone I am dreading
Though of course it coincides exactly
With the expected arrival of our Rainbow
The mile in memory was magical
Just like Matilda Mae
I wonder where we will be walking next year
For our beautiful baby girl
In her memory
In her honour
With all our love
I wonder where and how we will walk next year?

A beautiful post, a beautiful day and a beautiful way to remember your little girl. I wish we could have made it – we’re not far from there but our family had already made plans (as all busy families tend to do.) Looking at your photos I can see that we missed such a gorgeous and special day.
Thinking of you and your family. xxx
It was a beautiful day and it was so so lovely to see you and rainbow bump. I especially enjoyed my cuddles with Esther and I hope she is looking after you as she promised

Such a beautiful post to remember a beautiful day – all remembering a beautiful little girl. I was so glad I was a small part of it and I’m glad you liked Walton Gardens. Susanne, Lisa and I loved it as soon as we went there. It will always be a special place near to us to remember Matilda Mae. Was so lovely to see you and your lovely family and I cannot wait to see you on the 31st xx
