They all gathered together and Papa Bear raised a toast to Moo Moo. Tea and cake day is now a family tradition that brings back loving, happy memories. We love you Carol and always will. 💞xxx

My soul waits for us to be united so we can be one again. My eyes see the world through yours and it brings me solace.
Love you baby girl. 💞xxx

The Little Bird’s song was there to greet them each morning as the sun rose and there again to comfort them as it set. They could not see the Little Silver Bird, but her faithful tune let them know that she was still there with them, always and forever xxx

Another Easter another memory. Always in my heart baby girl. 💞😘xxx

The Little Silver Bird belonged to the power of three, her song forever a part of their harmony. There was no time or distance, she was with them always. Then, now, forever xxx

The Old Bear thought about all the mothers in his life. His own, his Nana, his mother-in-law and his beloved wife. There were many more and they all have one thing in common, their love for the children they carried and gave birth to. A love with no conditions and infinite. He knew there was nothing more wonderful in this world. Today I wish you all a beautiful day. We will never forget or stop loving you.
Carol, our girls are all we could have hoped for. They fill my heart with love and happiness always. Thank you for being the best mum they could have ever wished for. Love you forever and a day. 💕😘xxx

As the sun rose the old bear smiled. Happy Valentine’s Day Blossom you are always in my heart. 💕😘xxx

As 2025 rolled in the old bear sighed and smiled. He blew a kiss to his baby girl and wished her a Happy New Year. I will do my best to make this one special my darling. 🩷😘xxx

Another year has passed and we are still here looking for you in the stars. Until we see you again, Happy Birthday and all our love xxx

Happy Birthday my darling. Boxing Day has been all the more special since I met you back in 1973. I only wish we were sharing it together with our family. 💕😘xxx

Our Christmas trees may change but the love and moments that we share around them will last forever. Merry Christmas Little Silver Bird. You are with us always xxx

The old bear looked into his heart and remembered all the special Christmases they enjoyed throughout their life together. I will add this one to them as your spirit lives on in my heart. Happy Christmas my darling. 💕😘xxx

The old bear recalled the day they said their vows. 50 years have passed since then and it is their golden anniversary. He sighed as he wept because he misses her so much. Blossom you will always by my light, my strength, my life. Thank you for choosing to live your life with me. All my love forever and a day. 💕😘xxx

In our final season the years seem to move faster. 6 years since our boy Wellie travelled to be with you and all our other boys. One day I'll make that journey too. Until then know you are all loved and missed, always. 💞xxx

It was another beautiful day. The old bear imagined sitting with his tea and cake and chatting about this and that with the light of his heart. 8 years had passed but this day would always be special. Time for another? 💞xxx

There had been many days since the Little Silver bird had taken to the sky, but the hearts that she called home had never changed. They would always be the places that she was loved and they would always be right here waiting until the day the Little Bird flew their way again. Love you xxx

The sun rise was as bright today as it had been on the last day Blossom opened her eyes. The old bear reflected on that morning and his eyes watered the earth. The scars on his heart strained and his arms ached to feel her in them. The world has never been the same since then but their love remained ever present and this is what made him smile at this sun rise. He closed his eyes and he was with her again. 💞xxx

Happy Easter baby girl. All my love forever and a day. 💞xxx

The power of three. They were the Little Silver Bird’s and she was theirs… always. Happy Mother’s Day Mama Bird. All my love xxx

Our daughters are the greatest gift from our time on this world. From the day they were born we celebrated our blessings and knew love in its truest form. As they grew you became more than their mum, you became the best friend that would always be there, even now. We miss you being here but you are always in our hearts just like all those we love. To all the mother's no longer with us, we love you all. 💞xxx

The old bear looked deep into his heart. Time could not erase the love in there. He smiled as he thought about the life they lived together. Happy Valentine's day Blossom. 💞xxx

The old bear sat by the window watching the fireworks and listening to the bells counting in another year. He whispered Happy New Year as he raised his glass to those who had not seen it in as 2023 had been their last year, Tony and Teddy. He recalled all those who were no longer here and shouted out Happy New Year! You are always with me, especially you my darling Carol. Let's hope this year brings us closer again. 💞xxx

70 silver feathers glistened upon the back of the Little Bird. Time did not diminish her light, it only added to how brightly those feathers shone for those who still knew where to look as she flew through the sky. Happy Birthday Silver Skins. All our Love xxx

It's your 70th birthday baby girl. It's not how I imagined we would celebrate it, however, we will celebrate it none the less. The old bear's eyes started to fill up, it never got any easier talking to his heart rather than the one he longed to be with. I will get there as soon as I can. In the meantime know I love you always. 💞xxx

Through the years Bunny and the Little Bird had shared many things. There had been ribbons and bows and twinkling lights, but the greatest Christmas gift they had truly ever shared was the love they would forever have for each other. Merry Christmas Mama, then, now and always xxx

Merry Christmas Carol. Love always and forever. 💞xxx

To all our family and friends have a Happy Christmas we love you all. 💞

Happy 49 th Anniversary baby girl. The old bear reflected on the last year and wondered how much longer they would need to be apart. Life is beautiful, however, not always happy. 💞xxx

Somewhere his friend was walking with all those they both loved. Who cares if that's true or not. It made the old bear feel happy and that is enough. ?xxx

It is tea and cake day again. The old bear remembered how he had held her hands all through the years and that he would always be hers. Time changes many things but not his heart. He sipped his tea, wiped the sadness from the corner of his eyes and smiled as he kissed her in his mind. More tea baby girl? ?xxx

On the many days that the Bunny could not see or hear the Little Silver Bird she knew it was still somewhere close by as she felt her heart still beat in time to the rhythm of it's wings. Until I hear your song again Little Bird, all our love xxx

Has it been 7 years already? The old bear's heart had taken a long time to finally scar over, after that day. He had hoped it would never heal so that he could travel quickly to where it truly longed to be. Life's not that easy and the gift can only be taken back and not given. You are still my light, my strength and my life. Always. ?xxx

He remembered when they thought their own little miracle was going to happen. Easter 2016 was hopefully going to be really special. However, life is never straight forward and we should not forget that. It was our last together but your spirit is always here. Happy Easter Blossom. ? xxx

When you left, a piece of my soul left too, it followed you away. I watched it leave, I had to let it go, it was not made to be here alone, it held all the parts of me that could never live without you. Until we are together again, all my love xxx

As the sun shone down on him the old bear warmly reflected why this day is so special. Happy Mother's Day Blossom. We miss your love and wisdom. ?xxx

Happy Valentine's day Carol. Always in my heart. ?xxx

Many things are different in the Old Bear's life. There is a different path now but he remains faithful to his memories. He knows love again and hopes he will not be judged for it. As he enters 2023 he wants all those he loves to have a beautiful year. I love you Carol and always will. ?xxx

There is never a day when you are far from my thoughts, but today is a day that you never leave them. Happy Birthday Silver Skins. All our Love, Always xxx

You would have been 69 today, thought the old bear. He had always imagined they would still be going for walks and holding paws, talking about nothing in particular and looking forward to a nice cuppa somewhere before walking home. Now he just imagined what it would be like when they meet again. Happy Birthday Carol. All my love always. ?xxx

Another year had passed and once again the Little Bird watched them gather around the glowing lights of the Christmas Tree. She perched upon the window sill to look in at her family for just a moment. Just a peek to see the ones she loved, but no sooner had her little feet touched down the Bunny knew she was there, the Bunny could always feel when she was there. Merry Christmas Little Bird xxx

The old bear smiled as he looked into the candle flame, how brightly it shined lighting up his heart with fond memories. Love lasts forever. Happy Christmas Carol and a magical time to all our friends and family. May all your candles shine brightly. We love you all. ?xxx

The old bear did the maths and realised it would have been 48 years of marriage if time had dealt a different hand to him. Like so many others he forgot that loss was inevitable. Hopefully his memories would last until he himself greeted no more dawns. That would be enough he smiled and thought. ?xxx

49 years since we first met. Time now keeps us apart but not our hearts.?xxx

The old bear's heart ached as he looked down at where his friend had looked up at him for the last time. It had been a hard decision to let him leave to be with his mum and brothers but it was his time. One day they would all take walks together again. ?

It's a good day for tea and cake. The rain is falling and there's a slight chill in the breeze. Enjoy baby girl. ?xxx

The old bear looked up where the little bird used to sit and smiled. His eyes teared over as he thought how he longed to be with her, however, life needs to be played out until it's natural end. One day he thought, one day. ?xxx

The wings of the little bird could take her anywhere but her heart would always lead her home. So she sat and watched over the ones she loved, patiently waiting for the days when one by one they too would hear the call and follow their own hearts home to her. Until we are together again, all our love xxx

The sun is shining on this Easter Sunday and a breeze blows through the trees but my thoughts are with you and that always brings a smile to my face. ? xxx

No words can express how much I miss you. You will always be my forever love. Happy Mother’s Day my beautiful one xxx

A mother's love has no boundaries and even when they are no longer with you their love keeps you moving on. The one who brought you into this world and changed their own life forever with no thought but to ensure they took care of you. Love is life, life is love, love never dies and never leaves you but sometimes hides in the corner of our eyes. Happy Mother's Day my life, my light, my strength. ?

My heart knows you are near and that is enough. Happy Valentine's Carol. ?xxx

As this New Year dawns there is no reason for me to be here because those I love take care of themselves now but my respect for life and probably the fact I couldn't take my own keeps me drifting down my own road to peace. I long to be with you every day and although age keeps removing memories it has failed to diminish my love for you. Happy New Year Blossom. ?xxx

Boxing Day was different from the first year we were together. Since then it has always and will always be yours. Happy Birthday my light, my strength, my life. I love you with all my heart. ?xxx

Let’s light another candle, so that once again our lives may be illuminated by a glow that burns in celebration of you. Happy Birthday Silver Skins, Love you xxx

As she slept that Christmas night she did not notice the light breeze that softly kissed the tip of her nose. She did not feel the gentle brush of air that stroked her head as she lay upon the pillow. She could hear no words but in the silence of that winters night her mother had come home, for just a moment, to wish her baby a Merry Christmas. All our love, now and always xxx

Merry Christmas Carol. Always in our thoughts and our hearts. ?xxx

The warmest Christmas wish to all our family and friends. May you be happy, healthy and loved today and always. Carol and Graham ?xxx

We are never apart as you left me a piece of your heart and you took a piece of mine's with you. Time can never change that. ?xxx

Let's go for a walk boy. ?xxx

Tea for two. 3 small words with so many memories attached. How I would enjoy one with you r!night now. ?xxx

Sometimes I sit and close my eyes hoping when I open them you will smile at me and say; "were you just resting your eyes again?"

There then came a morning when the little silver bird was gone, swept away on the current of a new wind. In the days that followed the sun still chased the moon, the flock still took to the sky, but the rhythm of their wings together had changed. The little silver bird had taken a part of their beat with her. xxx Until our paths meet again xxx

How can there be an end When the sun sets or the moon goes down It looks like the end It seems like a sunset But in reality it is a dawn. Happy Easter my darling. Until our paths cross again. ?xxx

Each and every day I watch our girls grow and flourish from the unconditional love you gave them every moment of their lives. They have grown into the strong independent women you wanted them to be. Happy Mother's day my light, my strength, my life. ?xxx

The truest silence will always be the absence of the voice I can no longer hear. Happy Mother's Day to the one my heart will forever keep listening for. All my love xxx

It was only a smile but my heart it went wild your hand slipped into mine I wasn't expecting that. I thought love wasn't meant to last what did I get right to deserve somebody like you? Oh and isn't it strange how a life can be changed in the flicker of the sweetest smile without that innocent kiss what a life I'd have missed. Time doesn't take long then you closed your eyes you took my heart by surprise I wasn't expecting that. Happy Valentine's day Carol. Forever and a day. ?xxx

Autumn days lying on a bed of leaves watching clouds up through the trees. You said our love was more than time. It's colder now the trees are bare and nights are long I can't get warm since you've been gone. And I need you now, I need to feel you with me in the night. I need to see your smile so warm and bright. Where do I go from here? The first kiss of a New Year is always yours. Forever and a day baby girl. xxx

If only my words were stars I would whisper to the sky and set aglow the delicate thread that ties your heart to mine, just so I could glimpse you if only for a moment in the darkness of the night. Happy Birthday Bunty, love you xxx

Thinking of you Carol - happy birthday sweetheart xxx

Carol, find me here and speak to me. I want to feel you I need to hear you. You are the light that's leading me to the place where I find peace again. You are the strength that keeps me walking. You are the hope that keeps me trusting. You are the light to my soul. You are my purpose. You're everything. Happy Birthday baby girl. I love you. xxx

As her heavy eyelids fall He's taking her to where the Angels dwell And in that land of make believe Is where he'll leave her sleeping Softly warm He's weaving her a paper castle Where dancing clowns with tassels made of fur Welcome her into their world That lives inside the dreams Of every baby girl She's guarded by a brave tin soldier Sitting on her shoulder Taken there In a Christmas lullaby xxx

Merry Christmas Mama Moo, it is always at this time of year that I feel you closest. Your laugh in the ringing of bells, your presence in the twinkling of lights and your spirit in the joy and love of the season. Forever our Christmas Carol. All our love, always xxx

Someone asked me if I missed you. I didn’t answer. I just closed my eyes, walked away and whispered ‘so much’. ? xxx

‘After all this time?.... Always’ Xxx

Always in my heart. ?xxx

2 years ago you left us to be with your mum and brothers. We're still missing you baby boy. ?xxx

Let's have a cuppa. ?xxx

My dearest Mama, love is not held to the constraints of time. Your hands still steady my steps, your words still guide my soul and your love still flows within me. I will forever be yours and you forever mine, my heart will always whisper to yours... I love you xxx

Without you, I feel broke. Like I'm half of a whole. Without you, I've got no hand to hold. Without you, I feel torn. Like a sail in a storm. Without you, I'm just a sad song. xxx

Happy 7th Anniversary Jade and Jordan. xxx They stand together on this their day of days, united by their love. Their spirits free as they face the road ahead, knowing that whatever lies before them they will walk through side by side, steadfast and sure. For together their love will conquer all.

All over the world people have lost loved ones to the Corona virus. We plant this tree to remember them all and send hope to everyone else. Now more than ever we need to love and care for each other more. x

Happy Easter Carol. These words are taken from a Taoist prayer. They reminded me of how you greeted each day. "All we need is the morning. As long as there is sunrise, then there is the possibility that we can face all of our misfortunes, celebrate all our blessings, and live all our endeavors as human beings." All my love forever and a day. xxx

Happy Mother’s Day to the greatest Mama, teacher, friend and Nonna a girl and puppy could ever have. All our love my sweetest one xxx

From the day our daughters were born you gave them your unconditional love. A love stronger and more beautiful than any other. A gift that even in death goes on. Happy Mother's Day baby girl. xxx

Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go 'til we're gone. Happy Valentine's Carol. ?xxx

Late this year but never ever forgotten - with love always to you and yours xxxx

If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you. Happy Birthday Carol. Boxing Day will always be yours darling. xxx

The only thing that survives is love, for it is an energy as enduring as light, which travels outward from its source toward the ever-expanding boundaries. Merry Christmas baby girl. xxx

A Merry and Happy Christmas to all our friends and family.

‘I am a dreamer, a make believer I was told that you were, too I love the silence and the clear horizon And I got that all from you Every now and then I'm drawn to places Where I hear your voice or see your face And every little thought will lead me right back to you.’ Happy Birthday my Precious One xxx

Merry Christmas Mama, My greatest gift, my angel, my star. Loving you always xxx

Calling your name in the midnight hour Reaching for you from the endless dream So many miles between us now But you are always here with me

'Strong in the knowledge that we are together, forever and always sharing our journey side by side, each footstep safe and true'. - Carol McKendry

It’s a privilege to be able to contribute to such a special notion, and in memory of someone who has been described as such a special individual by Graham. Thank you.

Touched by this story and fantastic idea while talking to Graham at work. What better way to support the environment in the memory of a very speacial Lady. Carol. With love and Best wishes Oli Cullum-Hollins

There is no greater love than that found between a Bunny and her Bunty, and no truer words spoken, than I miss you Rat. I really, really miss you. xxx

3years on and still lost without you. xxx

Happy Easter baby girl. xxx

Each day I see the mum you were in our girls.
They both remind me of you in different ways.
I know you would be as proud
as I always am in everything they do.
Happy Mother's Day angel. xxx

My heart fell into rhythm with your's
long before I took my first breath
and it will stay forever echoing that beat
until the day I take my last.
Happy Mothers Day, I love you xxx

Hugs and kisses baby girl. xxx

Boxing Day 1953 was a special day.

your birthday in our hearts.

Loving you always xxx

When we fall in love that is deep and true
we do not only give the one we love a piece of our heart,
we trust them with a part of our soul.
We create an invisible bond that can never be broken. xxx

44 years ago we looked into each other's eyes and said I do.
You are the one who still holds
 the ring of my love
.
You are the one whose whispers
 still kiss my very heart. xxx

My baby boy has gone home to his mummy
and there are now four new little paw prints among the stars.
We love you little Prince, sending kisses and carrots
until our pack is reunited xxx

Our Wellie is with you now.
It broke my heart to watch him leave
but I know one day we'll all be together again.
Until then I'll keep his memory in my heart with yours.
Sweet dreams baby boy. Dad x

You were right life does drift on, however,
some things never change,
like my heart belonging to you. xxx

Thank you for all the small moments,
for every shared day that delicately
wove an unbreakable bond between us.
The beauty of everything that makes you
ours is forever entwined in who we are. xxx

When I miss you I sometimes listen to music or look at photographs... not to remind me of you but
to make me feel as if I'm with you.
Happy Mothers Day! All my love Nicole xxx

How I miss seeing you with our girls.
It always filled my heart with love,
pride and hope for all our futures.
One day I hope to feel that way again.
Happy Mother's Day my darling. xxx

Happy Mother's Day my beautiful one.
My fingers still curl around the emptiness
of where your hand used to be.
Until we can walk together again... all my love xxx

Love makes no sense
Love has no name
Love drowns you in tears
and then sets your heart on fire
Love has no fear, love has no reason.

Happy Birthday Graham!

Happy birthday Carol,

Christmas wishes to our family and friends.

still hold the memory of you.
