❤️ A first for me today and definitely the way I hope things can move for families to get exactly the right service for their loved one. I was asked to deliver a eulogy as part of a Catholic Mass to honour the life of the most lovely gentleman; a character and just one of life’s gems.

It was his wishes for a Catholic funeral, the church was a very important part of his life …….. his journey and story was exceptionally important to his lovely daughters, grandchildren and family …… so we worked together in the church he attended to give him a balance of everything.

There is no one way to say goodbye; working together can make things as personal as possible while honoring the rituals and beliefs which have been woven through someone’s life ❤️

❤️ Some of the bravest people I have ever met are parents saying goodbye to their child …… thinking tonight of the most beautiful boy and family ….. forever with a space in my heart.

Lovely quote today in our service from Bluey in picture below - this was sent to the family from a friend, so true.

To have loved so deeply and unconditionally makes the pain of loss unbearably sad …… but that time, that ‘bit’ when they were here, no matter how short; that joy and happiness was worth everything ……..and it’s what will remain always ❤️

❤️ Love, love, love this - I can and will small talk for Scotland and it’s a lovely thing - wee cup of tea, chat to the dog that’s licking me, cat on back of sofa while kettles boiling.

I love a good blether - drives my boys mad because I always meet someone I know in the supermarket- but chatting, connections and time is so important - it’s a gift we can all give.

I need the big chats too though to do my job properly - I need to be nosey, to ask loads of questions, to even speak about uncomfortable stuff to get to where I need to be in delivering the right service.

I love my families - wedding couples, babies, funerals, renewal of vows; memorials and everything in between.

Let’s keep chatting; makes life worthwhile ❤️###

❤️My Little Box of Love - so excited to have these stocked in my lovely cousins shop in Alyth - new shop opened on Wednesday in Alyth - Burntout Sanctuary - pop in for a nosey - local crafts, beautiful candles and diffusers and a chance for a pamper with a massage ❤️

A LITTE BOX OF LOVE

WHERE LOVE GROWS...

A beautiful box filled with native flower seeds to scatter in your special place, a poem, instructions and dried flowers, with a hand etched slate stone to use as a placemark.

Great to remember loved ones, be it family, friends or pets, and also as a wee keepsake for a wedding or birthday gift.

❤️ Lots of you will know my dad was my reason for changing careers nearly twelve years ago - when he died my life altered direction almost immediately.

Today he would have been 73, I wish he was here; I wish I had more time with him, to help him, to talk with him; to make him proud, to let him be a grandpa to my boys.

My dad is forever 61 and I’m so grateful for those years - he and my mum were the best team and they made me and my brother who we are - and so today I’m remembering them as they were when life was starting out - an inspiration as individuals and as a couple.

And my mum is here still supporting, loving and keeping us all fed, watered and with freshly washed and ironed clothes to wear! Embrace would not be what it is without her at my back. ( or without my dad out in front, leading the way, never far away)

❤️
