Hi everyone,
We'd like to observe a two minute silence at 9am tomorrow. It's the funeral of Maude - ggglimpopo's daughter.

You'll be able to view Mumsnet but not to post.

Love,

Thinking of you ggg.

She is.
She is the birdsong at dawn,
The first flowers of spring,
Lapping waves on warm sand,
The wind that reddens your cheeks
Golden falling leaves,
The first snowflakes,
And the brightest star on the darkest night,
She is.

The children play
they make no sound

arms flowing with the breeze as laughter spirals into the skies

blessings little m

in the forest gather friends,
come to sleep under the night sky,
fires burning
Sparks crackle and dust flows with the breeze as smoke spirals into the skies

Thank you Mumsnet Towers.

I think everyone has been touched by this and since we can't be there with the family this is a great way to pay our respects.

I missed this, so missed a silence at my 9am today. I plan to sit down at 10.30pm (9am UK) and do it from here, with you all.

GGG, sending you love & strength. xx

MamazonAKAfatty · 09/01/2007 01:06

Having experianced my baby sisters funeral i can sympathise with how horrific it is to see such a tiny coffin, yet i have no idea of what you are going through GGG.

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow at 9 as i have been since i heard this news.

good luck on your journey Maude, sweet dreams xx

Thank you everyone at MN towers. I will sit and wait after dropping my children off at school. A time for reflection and a shared sense of loss.

pageturner · 09/01/2007 00:18

I'll be between school/pre-school drop-offs, but I will think and remember.

Much love to ggg, maude and family. x
