Om goodness your all so amazing (in tears again at such a lovely gesture....

I also would like a balloon if possible as i wish to spread the joys that this forum alone has brought to me and Charlotte/family..

i thank you so much bearnecessities/ and to Gordon rogers who sent me an amazing letter with such a beautiful thing for us to do.. if he wishes i would like to share this.

I also have been busy today me and Charlotte went shopping for an outfit for George and come across some dungarees and a smart little t-shirt...
i also arranged for a tattoo of spongebob (happy picture) which i'm getting done tomorrow as a personal memory to George.

Ro5ey you said about saving this thread i'm not the most intelligent person but could you explain how i can do this as thats a really great idea.

i shall try and post pic again of the outfit and tattoo.

yet again thank you so much. xxxx

This is one of those times when you wish that you could send a hug to somebody in the post.

Lewis, strength and courage come in many different forms, and you have shown such an incredible amount of both that I am truly humbled.

As well as my deepest sympathy, you also have my deepest admiration.

Still thinking of you.

I shared this link on my facebook wall so my friend can see what amazing people you are..

Also Charlotte asked if it was not too much of a problem could they take a picture of them releasing it.. its just i think we are going to have a box for George and going to put all our best bits and the photo's along with this thread into the box so from time to time we could remember George and the great people that helped us on our journey..

thank you all so much

I've been off the forum for a few days, was preparing to log in and complain how rubbish my week had been. All now seems very insignificant reading this.

Thoughts are with you fella, cherish the time you had together.

John, YGM. Thanks for the offer, and to all that have offered contributions, it's very kind, says a lot, and is appreciated, but if it's all the same I'll decline thanks and let's not talk about money ๐Ÿ™‚

However, if people wanted to contribute something extra, then take a picture on the day if you can, just waving, just the balloon, or just the scene. Then, post it on the picture of the day thread, and if Lewis so wishes, then that can go towards George's memory box.

Bearnecessities - Brilliant idea, I'd be honoured to join in with this, I'll drop you an email.

Bruisers- Completely understand the box idea, have you considered all the pictures could be put into a photobook or similar?

To be honest im not sure how I would get all the photos if I can copy and print from here etc but as long as peoe are ok with it I just wanted to keep so when Emily or alfie/ mae ask in years to come we can show them the great work from you all..

I cant say enough how you have all helped me and my little family. One day I will repay the favour.

Yes

I can't really add anyone than I did earlier, but a balloon will be going aloft over Bath and this horrible situation has ensured my 2 yr. old has had an incredible amount of hugs.

Stay strong, I think you're doing incredibly.

Brudders - I'm sure if you setup a freebie email account (or one on your ISP account) everyone who takes part would gladly email you a copy of the photo aswell as posting on here. I know I would.

Then you can download them at full resolution at your leisure and do as you wish with them.

My deepest sympathies. Last year i rode London to Paris for a children's charity. Not because of a child I had lost but because I could not imagine losing my own. This year I will try and raise more by doing a century ride and George will be at the forefront of my mind. The messages on this thread put the struggles we all face into context. I have never met you but wish you well in the coming weeks and months. Look after yourself.

Andy

I've read most of whats been written and really not sure what to say... I cant even begin to imagine what it must be like.
I found some candle lanterns the other day... I probably wont be able to launch it during the day with work and all but ill tie a little tag to it and get one sent up the evening of the funeral if thats ok...
Ill make sure I get a photo and post it on here.

I am going to have trouble getting anywhere to be able to fill a balloon, but if anyone is releasing one somewhere beautiful and could release an additional one for me then I would love to contribute.

Charlie & Graham, they don't all need to be filled full of helium to poetically float off; some will be just held, some tied to a tree in a breeze, or just inflated and George thought of in a collective moment of contemplation. Some may just stay in their own memory box as a reminder of how precious some things are.

It matters not, if either of you want any just drop me an email.

Rich

That sums up a lot for me, every time I think of a lost loved one.

They are in my "Memory Box"

Yes

I think I will tie Spongebob to my pack & give him a cycle tour of some decent singletrack before letting him on his way...
