 Yesterday I attended an event organised by the Great Western Air Ambulance charity (GWAAC). It is something that they must have done for a while but it was only via email correspondence over the past month that I first heard of it. As many of you know, the Air Ambulance attended my sister in March 2020 and since then I have raised some small funds for them by either selling seedlings and plants outside the cottage, and by promoting their work or campaigns in some way. The "Celebration of Life" event was sensitively organised, without wall-papering over the cracks or skirting the issue of death. It was gentle and respectful and empathetic. Below is a scan of the whys and wherefores which were printed on the back of the programme. I think it explains the Sycamore / Forever Flying symbolism very well.

That’s a lovely idea - I hadn’t realised the sycamore seed connection. Strangely, our only (very) substantial tree is a sycamore - from now on it will certainly take on an extra significance. Leave a Reply. |
