And then we decided we'd give every family who'd lost their child a star with their name on to go on the wall.

And that wall now has these thousands of stars, wooden handmade stars by volunteers with the child's name on, covering the walls in our office.

And every Christmas now we light a battery tea light for every single star.

So we did 3,000 this year.

And we covered the landing with these stars.

So at Christmas Eve, we always like to think that Father Christmas knows where those children are because the lights are shining.

Well, yeah, we are.

We are having space issues.

We are going to continue growing them, which is fine.

But inevitably one day we will run out of wall space.

So we are now thinking of what we can do, what we can do that we can either preserve the stars or change it slightly.

And, you know, I've been looking for a piece of land or like a wood, I'd love a little forestry where we could have a star lips to wish forestry or a wall where we could put the stars, engrave them on the wall or something like that.

But

there'll always be something somewhere that families can come to because even though it's a simple wooden star people travel from all over to come and see it and I think it's just a nod that their child is living on but is also amongst others and isn't alone because that's something you do worry about about your child being on their own as well amazing so what would be the fourth thing

I think it'd have to be my trainers because I think since all of this happened, even though I was a PE teacher and people think you're super fit and outgoing and so on, I've never really done anything.

So since they died, I've done four marathons, 10 half marathons, loads of 10Ks.

I'm slow.

Don't look at me thinking I'm super good because I'm not.

You know, things like I've jumped out of a plane and I've cycled hundreds of miles and I've done Kilimanjaro and Everest and my daps have got me.

My Welsh daps have got me in these places.
