Our community members open up about the special people they’re honoring this Celebrations Day.

#MarkTheirMemory
My Mother was the inspiration of my life in so many ways. She was incredibly beautiful and stylish, but really born of a different time, which I have to say really means that I was born of a different time too, my mother was born in 1913.

Celebrating so many wonderful memories and that we will have them forever. When I think of Grandad, I remember his incredible sense of fun. He was a Bon Viveur, he enjoyed the good things in life. He loved a joke, he loved a party and he loved to dance.

Audre Lorde died the year that I was born, and even though we didn't cross over on this Earth, she has remained a mental and a guide to me throughout my whole life. I feel like she's such a powerful lighthouse to guide me through the storms of life.

I like to imagine dear Mufasa running along the beach like this - happy, free, and waiting for us, as if no time has passed.

I have quite a few different tracks that remind me of Paul. But when I first started seeing him, he was listening to Angie Stone. There is a track on her album called ‘Wish I Didn’t Miss You’ and it really reminds me of him.

My beautiful grandmother - a forever fountain of glamour, love and wisdom. She adored Late Fragment by Raymond Carver:
"And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth."
Safe to say she was absolutely that ♡

My Uncle Robert loved discovery and freedom. He had the courage to explore the new and the unknown. Remembering him.

Oh how we miss you - and that deep, infectious laugh that came from the pit of your stomach. I think of you, and celebrate you always... especially when baking your delicious gooey chocolate chip cookies xxx
