Poignant snowman in Gillingham
Of all the snowmen and other chilly
creatures created during the big chill, this one has to be the most
poignant.
Reader Lynda Gallagher spotted this
snowman perched on a bench opposite a baby’s grave in Woodlands
Cemetery, Gillingham.
She said: “We were walking up the
path and I spotted the snowman sitting in the children’s section.
It was directly in front of a six-month-old boy’s grave.
“Someone had definitely made it for
him, it was such a surprise to see it just sitting there.”
Lynda thought she would take a
picture and share the touching moment on Twitter.
She added: “I’m taking part in the
365 Project and take photos where ever I go and share them online.
I wanted to share this one as it was an absolutely wonderful thing
to see.”
The 365 Project sees people take
one photograph every day for a year to post online to share with
the world.
Lynda was careful to point out
online she was not trying to intrude on anyone’s grief but just
wanted to share the wonderful effort someone had gone to in making
the snowman.
She added: “I got some positive
feedback from people on Twitter, nothing negative at all.
“Some people said it made them cry but said it was
wonderful.”
