In light of it being Christmas soon, here’s a cool picture that someone posted on Twitter last year. Made me smile when I saw it, I wish I had the t-shirt.

Loved Ones
This is read every year at the Lights of Love service at Wheatfields Hospice. It’s a really lovely poem, with such a beautiful meaning. My Grandad was cared for at Wheatfields and they do such fantastic work. It’s nice to go back each year to support them. So many Christmas memories, Now touched by gentle…
