Yesterday was the Baton of Hope day.
I thought a lot about it and decided to spend the day in celebration instead of in mourning.
The weather cried for me instead. So I could spend the day telling stories and sharing memories of Vee and what they meant to me. How they were the cornerstone of so much of my life. So many things that I am and that I do are tied in with happy memories of Vee.
I realised it was a testiment to how loved they were that it hurts so much. But that maybe I can set down some of my sadness and make more space for happiness.
So we spent yesterday in rememberence and tears but also being mischievous, gorging on free food and spreading sunshine.
Thank you so much to the Baton of Hope team both Norwich and National. Thank you for letting me be a part of the day.
