Remembering the people we love who have passed away is a deeply personal and sometimes bittersweet experience. It's a way to keep their memory alive by holding onto the moments we shared, the stories we told, and the lessons we learned together. While they may bring tears, these memories also bring warmth as they remind us of the impact our loved ones had on our lives. It's a way to honour them and keep their spirit alive, even though they are no longer with us physically. In these recollections, we find a connection that transcends time and space and helps us navigate life's journey with the wisdom and love they left behind.
As we pause to remember our dear Queen Elizabeth II one year after her passing, it's a poignant moment filled with sadness and gratitude. Personally, I've always held a deep admiration for her. She exemplified a steadfast commitment to her role as our monarch, demonstrating unwavering dedication and a profound sense of duty for seven decades. Her grace and resilience in the face of life's challenges served as an inspiration to us all, and her compassionate heart, evident in her support for numerous charitable causes, showed us the depth of her care for our nation and its people.ย
