This morning I’m drinking my tea out a mug personalised to Josep. Josep was the youngest (and craziest) member of our tech team not so long ago. He wore his heart on his sleeve, fell in love most days and his youthful exuberance could be felt within a 40km radius. We have 24 mugs in the office and sadly many no longer have their namesake sipping from them. Each morning I choose a different mug to remember the person and the part they played in the story of The Book of Everyone. I feel the honesty of Josep is partly responsible for this end of year message.
It’s been quite a humbling experience for us. We received so many nominations, including one for a dog, a rescue Staffie called Buddy who recovered from an abusive puppyhood to become an animal charity’s keenest fundraiser, and lead workshops for nervous dog owners.So here’s an honest-to-goodness thank you to everyone and anyone who entered, from the deepest recesses of our hearts here in The Book of Everyone.So who’s the nominee to be cast in bronze? They must have done something truly amazing. And yes they have.
