When we lost our Winnie we had more contact with a cpl I knew of but didn't really know, they also lost a little one and after losing him started their own business making custom minifigs, well last December we received a message from this amazing cpl letting us know that they had made a winter minifig and that the astronaught tim peake would be taking Winnie's minifigs as well as a few others with him up to the space station, I cried so much upon hearing this, firstly because it's such a thoughtful thing for them to do and also I am aware that astronaughts only have a very small amount of space to take items with them onto the space station so the fact Tim peak took our little Winnie meant so much.
A couple of nights ago winters father sent me a picture of the Minifig that had been sent into space and with it was this writing.
"This custom made mini figure of Winter Scarlett Hutchinson travelled to space with britains first official astronaught major tim peak on the 15th December 2015. She remained in space aboard the international space station for more than 187 days and travelled over 79,970,000 miles.
For 187 days the view was of unimaginable beauty and a world without any distinguishable borders or division. For those 187 days she was a star in the sky, seen by people all over the world when they looked to the heavens at night"
For someone that enjoys star gazing and often likes to watch the space station fly over this made my heart feel like it was going to burst, I have always felt little Winnie achieved more in her short time upon this earth than most of us ever will do but this just showed me that yet again, my beautiful little caterpillar flying aboard the space station couldn't make me any prouder at all.
Love you to the moon and back my amazing, beautiful, strong baby girl xxx
