I was at the National Memorial Arboretum near Lichfield, but not for that reason. Was there for the SANDS (stillborn and neo-natal deaths society) service in the chapel, our son was stillborn on 27 March.

The NMA really is worth a visit, walked around it a few times and the tributes are amazing.

Thoughts are with you. Three years yesterday was the day of our 7 week old daughter's funeral. Would say it gets easy but it doesn't you just learn to cope with it.

It's like a walk in the park my job compared to theirs. A friend is joining the RAF this week. Said farewell on Saturday.
