Kindness is catching in Stewarton
Local florist Bloomingwales recently had a visit from a lady looking to
spread a bit of love in the name of her stillborn baby Maeve. Little did
she know that one of these acts of kindness would touch the heart of
someone who suffered a similar loss.
Florist David Wales posted to his Facebook page:
Some days you meet people who make you take a look at yourself.
Yesterday was one of those days. A young lady came into the shop
and commissioned us to create a bouquet and, at our discretion,
give it to someone we felt would benefit from it. The only request
was that we include a small card which reads as follows:
a random, small act
'Hell o! Someone has just perf ormed of Maeve Elizabet h
of kindness for you in loving memory 3. If you can, please ret ur n
McC ormack, bor n sleeping 16/4/201 eone else - or simply say
the favour by doing the same for som
her name aloud xxx.

David kept his word and left a bouquet in a secret location in the
town for someone to find, and has done so several times since
in remembrance of Maeve. One of these beautiful arrangements
was discovered by Kellie Parker who posted the following to
Bloomingwales:
Hello Bloomingwales! I'm the one who was very lucky to adopt
these beautiful flowers. When I read the card inside, I feel it was
meant to be. These flowers were given in a random act of kindness
in memory of Maeve Elizabeth McCormack , who was born
sleeping on 16/04/2013. As some of you know, I lost my son Joseph
on 10/05/08, he was a day old. Joseph is always in my thoughts
and heart, especially this week as yesterday marked the end of baby
loss awareness week with the Wave of Light last night. I would just
like to say a massive thank you, that I share all your joys of having
a beautiful baby, but also I share your sorrows of having to say
goodbye. I promise to return the random act of kindness.
These acts of kindness have spread through the town and inspired
others to do the same. If you'd like to get involved, go to
www.themaeveeffect.blogspot.co.uk to read Jess's story and order your
own kindness cards to pass on Maeve's message.
David is running informal flower arranging events on Saturday 28th November and
Saturday 5th December 3pm - 6pm and Thursday 10th December 6:30pm - 9:30pm.
Tickets are £30 each and are available to buy instore on a first come first served basis.
Participants will learn to make a table centrepiece in a fun, friendly environment and
are more than welcome to bring your own bottle if you'd like to have a few drinks!
