💙 This is an emotional one… so if you’re easily upset, please read with care. 💙
Wednesday night I was sitting at home when I came across a post that honestly broke my heart.
A family were asking for recommendations for a florist after they had ordered and paid for funeral flowers for someone they loved… and they hadn’t received them.
A funeral.
A day you only get one chance to get right.
A family already grieving, already trying to hold themselves together, and now having to worry about something they should never have had to worry about.
I couldn’t just read it and scroll past.
I’ve been very fortunate in my life to be able to help people when I can. I don’t do it for praise, recognition or anything in return.
I do it because I genuinely believe that even in someone’s darkest moment, there can still be a little bit of light.
And sometimes we have the opportunity to be that light for somebody.
So I got to work.
DAD.
BROTHER.
GRANDAD. 💙
Three words.
But behind those three words is somebody who was so deeply loved.
Someone’s Dad.
Someone’s Brother.
Someone’s Grandad.
I created each tribute and placed them amongst blue ribbon, ready to be delivered to the funeral parlour this morning.
I never knew this gentleman.
I don’t know his story, the life he lived, the memories he made or the people whose lives he touched.
But I do know he was loved.
And this morning, while his family prepare to say one of the hardest goodbyes they’ll ever have to say, my thoughts are with every single one of them.
After what must have been a heartbreaking and incredibly stressful few days, I just hope seeing these flowers brings them even the smallest bit of comfort.
Today isn’t about what went wrong.
Today is about him.
His life.
His memories.
His family.
And the people who loved him. 💙
May today be a beautiful celebration of his life.
And may his family know that even in the darkest of times, there are still good people, kindness and a little bit of light in this world. 🕊️💙
