some of you may remember that Steve died two years ago today.
tonight me and the kids will be raising a spoon of trifle, blowing bubbles and we have some sky lanterns that we are going to write messages on before letting them drift up into the sky.

Goodness, is it really two years?

I don't think any of us on MN will ever forget Steve, even though we'd never met him.

Wishing you and your family every good wish, and here's to lovely trifle!

i bet those years have passed so quick

may i ask where to get sky lanterns from,as a young girl we know has just lost her mum,so was thinking of this the other day for her

thinking of you

Thinking of you.

I think that 2 years ago I was new on Mumsnet and too shy to post.

My BIL died when my DNiece was 7 and my DNephew only 2. I tend to think that anything that comes from the heart is the right thing to do.

With love.

Was just thinking it'd be a bit too wet for lanterns! Hope your day has gone peacefully, OJ. Steve won't ever be forgotten - you've made sure of that.Big hugs to you all x.

Overtiredmum · 09/06/2010 22:19

Goodness two years?? OJ, you made such a large impact on so many of us. Best wishes to you all. Ax

OJ, thinking of you today. I hope that you and your kiddies have managed to get through the day ok. The trifle, bubbles and sky lanterns sound like a lovely tribute.

OJ, I think of you, Steve and the children every time we're blowing bubbles (and that's quite often, with 2-yo DD3 around!).

Look after yourselves.
