A pocket of my life

July has been an emotional one, one full of tears and closing of chapters but one full of fun and memories.  We started off the month with a lovely badge ceremony at Guides where we learnt that lils has earnt both her bronze and silver awards along with some other badges too. Olivia also had a fun start to the month with a teddy bear picnic at her new school, this was an opportunity to meet other children that are joining along with meeting their teachers again before joining in September. We then get on to the moments that brought a tear to my eye, firstly was Lilly's year 6 prom, an evening to celebrate the years 6's together before them breaking up, she picked a beautiful dress off vinted which was a lipsy one and had photos on the red carpet before going in.

To Lilly,  This week marks the last full week of you being at primary school, take it all in, enjoy these last few days  and makes some lovely memories to leave with. Me and your Dad are emensely proud of you and who you have become. It only feels like yesterday when you started, we were sat on the sofa watching 'time for school' to prepare you. We made a treasure box to take which bits and bobs in and took you up to the door on your first day. You have smashed every year and taken each hurdle as it came (including home learning during covid). I know both mine and your emotions are high and I know that you are excited for your next chapter but I also know that you will feel sad and grieve this part of your life being over. The friends that you will leave behind will make space for new ones but will never be forgotten and I am grateful that you will still be able to contact them which we never had. Have the best week, enjoy prom and your graduation and remember that we love you...
