As we step into 2026, we do so carrying more than hope and new plans….we carry names, memories, and a quiet ache for those who should be here with us. 2025 took people we loved.
It took laughter we expected to hear again, voices we thought we still had time for, and moments we assumed were waiting just ahead.

Grief doesn’t reset with the calendar. It lingers in empty chairs, unread messages, and milestones that feel different now. Some days in 2026 will feel lighter, others impossibly heavy. Both are okay. There is no right way to grieve and no timeline for healing. Strength isn’t found in “being okay” - it’s found in continuing to show up, continuing to smile and embrace the days even when your heart feels tender and tired.

So as this new year begins, we honour those we lost by living gently, loving deeply, and allowing ourselves grace. We move forward not because the pain is gone, but because love remains.

Here’s to 2026 - a year of remembrance, resilience, and quiet courage. We walk into it carrying both sorrow and love, hand in hand.

Life is short. Best not to get bothered, get vexed or angry about anything. Try not to worry and enjoy yaself, be happy, wear ace sunglasses. My dad passed away when he was 47. I didn’t realise how young he was at the time. He would’ve been 78 today! I’ve got more greys/ whites on my head and chin than I ever saw my dad have. Laugh, have fun, make memories! “Never mind what everyone else is up to, you focus on you” ! That’s what my dad told me. Best advice anyone ever gave me. Wish he’d have gave those sunglasses! Cool dad x
