LAST CHANCE TO ORDER XX

💙6 MONTHS OF BARNEY💙

In the lead up to what would have been Barney’s 6-month milestone, we’re raising money in his memory.

We’ve put together a small keepsake pack which includes a keyring, forget-me-not seeds and a small keepsake card.

If you’d like one, we’re asking for a suggested donation of £5, plus £2 postage. The cost of postage and materials will be deducted, with all remaining funds being donated in Barney’s Army's name.

If you would like a pack, please comment below or send a private message to the Barney’s Army account stating how many you would like and whether you would prefer collection, drop-off or postage.

If cost is a worry, please still feel free to request a pack — we’d still love you to have one. Donations can be made whenever suits you.

I will keep a note of all comments and messages and will try to reply to everyone, but if I don’t respond straight away, please know your request has been noted. If we receive more orders than expected, I will order additional supplies, but this may mean a longer wait for some packs.

Due to ordering and delivery times, packs will be sent out in May — but all funds raised are part of marking Barney’s 6 months and keeping his memory alive.

For more information about Barney’s Army and how the page operates, please see the pinned post.

Thank you so much for your support, it genuinely means a lot.

💙LOVE PERSISTS💙

On Saturday, Barney’s mummy and daddy got married — a day filled with love, emotion, and strength. A reminder that even in the deepest grief, there is still space for moments of light.
Barney is part of every step forward. Not left behind, not forgotten — just carried differently. In the smiles, in the tears, in the love that keeps growing around him.

To anyone walking a similar path… it’s okay to keep living. It’s okay to celebrate, to laugh, to find joy again. That doesn’t mean you’ve moved on — it means you’re moving forward, with them beside you in a different way.

Their tiny feet will always leave the biggest footprints.

💙6 MONTHS OF BARNEY💙

6 months since Barney was born. Happy half birthday, little man.

Grief isn’t one thing — it changes all the time. Some days feel lighter. Other days it’s really heavy again and comes out of nowhere. It doesn’t really leave, it just becomes part of everyday life. Something that sits alongside everything else.

Barney’s in all of it now — the small reminders, the quiet moments, the things that stop everything for a second. This is often painful, but also comforting and how he stays close.

For anyone else living with child loss, you’re not on your own. They will always be part of everything and loved always.

💙HAPPY EASTER💙

Easter is a time of hope, light and new beginnings, and a reminder of how strong love can be.

Today our son Barney is remembered with so much love. He continues to be part of every season, every smile and every moment that matters.

While he is deeply missed, he is forever carried with us in memories, in laughter and in the love that never fades.

Thinking of all families remembering someone special today. May this Easter bring moments of peace, warmth and gentle hope.
