He placed our poem on the bank as part of his remembrance display? Oh Emily, that just, well I don’t know what to say. What an honour ❤️

This is incredibly beautiful and moving Emily and Lydia, It is difficult to write about such things as lives lost in the futility of war, I too wrote a piece for 11/11/11 and dint post because as you said, it felt contrived, it somehow didn't feel honest and above all else I wanted it to be...

Thank you for sharing this with us, it really is perfect. 💔x

Reading about your encounter with the neighbors and the poem by the trees brought tears to my eyes. It's a beautiful reminder that reverence and connection can be found in the most unexpected places, even amidst the humdrum of daily life. I often find myself rushing through my days, forgetting to pause and appreciate these small, profound moments. Thank you for the gentle nudge to slow down and truly see.
