I read this poem earlier today and it sent a shiver down my spine.

All I could think of was this must be how Carrie feels every

day of her life since losing Charlie.


There are so many women out there going through this 

incredible pain and not all of them have people to support 

and help them.


I know that there is such a need for the provisions available

to bereaved parents and families to be bettered.


With support we will get our support centre and 24 hour

helpline up and running.

We would love this to be sooner rather than later.


We are currently looking at different ways to increase our

bank balance, and are now in the process of planning our

main annual fundraiser.


If you feel you can support us or know people or businesses

that may be interested in helping us please contact us via 

our website : Charlies-angel-centre.org.uk



I am wearing a pair of shoes.


They are ugly shoes.



Uncomfortable Shoes.



I hate my shoes.



Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.



Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.



Yet, I continue to wear them.



I get funny looks wearing these shoes.



They are looks of sympathy.



I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.



They never talk about my shoes.



To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.



To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.



But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.


I now realize that I am not the other one who wears these shoes.



There are many pairs in the world.



Some women are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.



Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.



Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by
before they think of how much they hurt.



No woman deserves to wear these shoes.



Yet, because of the shoes I am a stronger women.



These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.



I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
