Charlotte’s Brain Tumour Journey 18.2.1997 – 24.2.2016  Diagnosis to death: 951 days  Age 19 years 5 days I normally get the train to Portsmouth, but yesterday I decided to drive a journey I hadn’t made since Miles left Southampton University in 2018. The drive was full of memories of Charlotte and I travelling that same route several times in 2014 to collect him or drop him off Then I passed the hospice where Charlotte’s body rested after she died. In an instant, memories came flooding back  memories I had buried deep because they were simply too painful to revisit. I could suddenly see her lying there again. It is an image no parent should ever carry. That day, I brought home a memorial stone. I remember clutching it tightly, realising this was it  the last time I would ever see Charlotte. Some memories never truly leave you. They simply wait quietly for the moment they return. Thinking today of all those who already hold their own memory stones, and heartbreakingly, of those who one day will. At Charlotte’s Lab, researchers are working on all brain tumours, with the hope of helping everyone affected by these devastating diagnosis. If you are able to donate, we would be incredibly grateful. As many of you know, we are entirely self-funded, so 100% of every donation goes directly to research. We also believe strongly in transparency and will always show how your donations have been, or will be, spent.

@pondenperson @TeenageCancer 💙💙

Today would have been Noah’s 23rd birthday, so in his honour we all went to Manchester’s Northern Quarter to hunt for some of the Space Invader mosaics installed by French urban artist Invader (Franck Slama). Noah would have loved that! @TeenageCancer bit.ly/3Kh93IW

After saying how much I loved seeing the tulip fields I was thrilled to find that hubby had booked to take me to Amsterdam this weekend for my birthday. We went to Keukenhof Gardens & the tulip displays were stunning. How Tory would have loved this. I felt her with me all day 🩷

@2StefanMoore My darling daughter Charlotte F18 died in May 2020 of Bowel Cancer 💔💔

You might not be a parent of a Child with cancer & awareness may not be top of mind for you. The day before my 11 year old daughter Ashley was diagnosed, I wasn’t a cancer parent either. If your Child is healthy, be deeply grateful. Love them fiercely, hold their hand & hug them every single day. 🩷 Ashley 🩷 #Forever13

@MrsMcEgan @KeruboSk 💔💔💔

@KeruboSk Seeing my daughter’s favourite food in the supermarket, hearing her favourite song on the radio, a tv programme or film we’d watched together. Those small things, every day.

What’s the grief milestone nobody prepares you for? Not the funeral. Not the first year. The weird specific one nobody talks about.

@ClaireCarmalt So beautiful! They smell so amazing too! There are loads about this year 💙🩵

A bluebell kind of day today! It never fails to lift my spirits waking through the woods & seeing so many bluebells. They may not last long but they are wonderful to see.

@ClaireCarmalt Definitely 🥹 They are starting to scatter all about in my borders and the front garden too. They’ll be everywhere! 💙

@Simpson616 They are beautiful. Mine aren’t even in a pot but self seeded and growing directly on the patio. Definitely a sign for us ❤️ xx

This morning I commented how I was hoping for April sunshine since I’ve got some days off work and an hour later the sun arrived 😊! I’ve been on a long walk and spent hours gardening. Perfect for unwinding after a busy term ♥️

@ClaireCarmalt ❤️

@Simpson616 Thank you! Im so glad you find it therapeutic as well, it helps me a lot xx

@hopeuncapped 💔💔

@Simpson616 I’m so sorry… no words are enough for a loss like this. Sending you love and strength. 💔

@4myJessBrady @ClaireCarmalt Yes it truly is Andrea….having two dogs to walk every morning has definitely been a life saver for me 🥹 I love my new garden starting it all over again ❤️

@Simpson616 @ClaireCarmalt Being outside and gardening is the best therapy 💙💙💙
