I am finding myself in Tilda’s garden every day
Sometimes I am not aware of getting there
I just find myself there
Baby Tilda’s garden
It is one of the first things I look at everyday
The front room where we eat breakfast
Overlooks her little garden
It is filled with flowers
Bugs and birds
It is filled with stars
A rainbow of stars
It is filled with promise and hope
I am so grateful to David’s Mum
Granny
For all the work she does
In memory of Matilda Mae
Making her garden such a very special place to be
Tilda’s garden is beautiful in the Spring time
As we approach her birthday
The anniversary of her ashes setting sail
As our hearts are heavy with death
Our baby’s garden comes to life
Every day it changes and grows
Star bursts of colour
Erupt from the soil
Shouting ‘We love you!’ to the sky
To our baby in the sky
I decided soon after Tilda died
To make her a garden
So many people have helped to make that wish
That dream come true
Matilda Mae
This is for you
We love you
This is where we remember you
From here we shout your name
And blow bubble kisses to the sky
This is where we think of you
And dream of being with you again
Dream of our family being complete again
We love you and we miss you Matilda Mae
We write your name in the stars and the sand
We paint your beautiful skies
As you paint the skies for us
You are always in all we do
I hope you know how much we miss you
How much we love you
Matilda Mae

What a beautiful thing for you all to treasure. I love the way you write with so much love and hope for all your dreams of Matilda-Mae. My heart aches for your family of your loss, you seem like such a strong unit to get through it together, remembering her with all your soul. Xxxxx
Matilda’s garden is beautiful just like her. It is such a lovely place and her siblings look like they are all having lots of fun playing in it too xx
So beautiful x
