Blogmas Day 14 ~ Keeping Her Close

 Slightly different kind of post today, as will include more visuals than writing for once 😂. 

Although I will never ever forget Summer, in the weeks following her passing many people sent lovely gifts and flowers. A lot of these things I have been able to keep and will treasure forever and are a way of me being able to keep Summer close at all times. So I just thought I would share them here. 

Orange Roses

Roses have become the flower that I am drawn the most towards when it comes to Summer. 
I have a gorgeous outdoor Summer Rose plant outside in the back garden and every month on the 23rd, I always get a bunch of Orange ones to place in our living room, for Summer. 



Gorgeous little Wishing Well Keepsakes from some close friends. 




Engraved bracelet with Summer's name on it.

Pandora floral ring in memory of Summer, 


I wear this ring every single day. 


Feather bracelet from another close friend. 
I wear this every single day. 

Summer's name tattooed on the inside of my ring finger on my right hand. 

Summer's actual footprint (shrunk down) with her birth date on my right arm.


Engraved candle holder from my Aunty. 

We have this in the centre of our mantle piece and light a tea light in it 
every month on the 23rd. 


This book was in our 4Louis Memory Box.

When Summer was returned from her Post Mortem to the Funeral Directors, I went 
to sit with Summer as often as I was allowed in the run up to her funeral. 
Every time I would take this book and read it to her. 
Since then, I always carry it around with me in my handbag, everywhere I go. 



Keeping Summer close to me at all times is one of the most important things to me, All of these things (and more) have become extremely valuable to me and I will forever treasure them. 🌞💖
