Today we walked
We have a route around our home
More than a mile less than two
Up the hill
Across the fields
Through the puddles
Over the stiles
It is our walk
Where we go together
To talk
To think
To play
To be together
We walk in all seasons
We walk for all reasons
Today we walked for Matilda Mae
It seems to be something we do
Inspired by The Lullaby Trust
Their Mile in Memory
It has become something that we do
Mile in Memory of Matilda Mae 2013
The Matilda Mae Welly Walk 2013
Mile in Memory of Matilda Mae 2014
And this year
This year
The Lullaby Trust are inviting people
To complete Miles in Memory of babies who have died
Babies stolen from their families by SIDS
You can complete your miles in any way that you want
Alone
With family
With friends
On land
In the water
On wheels
You can do whatever you choose
To make this easier for our friends
Our family
And the online community who continue to honour Matilda Mae
Susanne and I have decided to host a
Virtual Miles in Memory of Matilda Mae event
We ask that you choose an event to complete in memory of Baby Tilda
Donate to The Lullaby Trust via the Matilda Mae Just Giving Page
Tell us about your event and send us a photo
In return we will share your photos
And if you give us your address we will send you a token of our appreciation
A thank you for supporting The Lullaby Trust
And remembering Matilda Mae
A teeny tiny silver star
Donated by the wonderful Mia Tui
We have a Facebook Group
Come and join us and tell us what you are going to do
You can do your event any time between now and the 10th May 2015
The official date for The Lullaby Trust’s Miles in Memory
Is Saturday 9th May 2015
This falls on the day we travel home from Coombe Mill
After Matilda Mae’s birthday on the 2nd
We are going to complete our miles on the Friday
We are going to ask Fiona to help us plan a route around the farm
That is family friendly
We will walk this together
And then David is going to walk up the river on the farm
He will walk up the part of the river that Tilda’s ashes sailed down
We will be sending flowers down the river
And bubble kisses to the sky
It is going to be a very emotional day
And while we hope to raise some money for the trust
It is more about being together
Remembering our daughter
And honouring her memory
Hoping that one day we will discover why she had to die
Why our 9 month old baby went to sleep and never woke up
