Rena didn't like her neighbour. Old man Giles never smiled, was always in a hurry. She wasn't sad when he died. Her mum made her attend his funeral though. And there, she saw someone had left something she didn't expect; a miniature Christmas #tree.

Attached to the tree was a note from the local children's ward. Her curiosity peaked, she went and spoke to one of the nurses there.
"Giles? Oh, you mean Mr Rodgers who used to bring Christmas #trees in for all the rooms? It was sad to hear the news."

Rena asked where he got the trees from, and was directed to a Christmas #Tree yard, where the biggest surprise was. Here was a memorial wall dedicated to Giles, all the pictures shown him smiling, helping others. Rena felt his loss more keenly now...
