Everyone can decide who they would like to celebrate; there is no detailed prescription for how you should remember.
You might choose to share a meal and memories with friends and family; to cook a favourite dish, or watch a special film; to organise a football match; or raise money for a particular charity. You might simply want to look at old photographs/take a private moment to reflect, such as a walk in a special place, light a candle and/or listen to an evocative piece of music.
However you choose to remember, you will be creating new memories as you do so, and helping to ensure that those we love leave a living legacy. Like a thread woven into the tapestry of our lives, it connects the past not only with the present but also with the future.
Submit a story
