Three years ago today we found this bit of heart-shaped moss on the wall, and adopted it as a memorial heart. Mossie is still going strong! ❤️ #ThrowbackThursday

We talk about them... ❤️
A text set against a snowy scene. It reads: "We talk about them because we're proud. We talk about them, because they deserve to be remembered. We talk about them, because even though they are not physically with us, they are never far from our mind. We talk about them, because they are part of us, a part that we could never ignore or disown. We talk about them because we love them still and always will. Forever. Nothing will ever change that."

Once again, we have put up our banner and updated the number of covid dead. More than a quarter of a million people in the UK have died with covid as a cause of death on their death certificate. A devastating milestone. ❤️

Today, as the #CovidInquiry releases its module 2 report, we are thinking especially of everyone who will have to relive the trauma of that time, who will have to hear of the government failings that led to their loved ones' deaths. 

We will never forget our beloved dead. ❤️

We look forward to this exciting next chapter. ❤️

"They mattered. They still do. And they always will." ❤️
A quote. The text reads: Silence doesn't soothe a grieving heart. Remembrance does. Saying their name doesn't reopen the wound - it tends to it. It says: They mattered. They still do. And they always will. - Jameson Arasi

The volunteers were at Parliament today to hear the government announce that our beautiful memorial is to be made permanent. It was an emotional day, as we have fought so long and hard to ensure that our beloved dead are not forgotten. We are grateful and happy. ❤️

"I will always be thankful..." ❤️
A poem against a background of a dark blue sky with a moon. The text reads: I got to love you and it may have not been for as long as I had wished for, but l got to love you. I got to love your sense of humor and hear you laugh. I got to love your smile and the way it would light up every room you entered. I got to love your kind heart. I got to love you and l will always be thankful for that.

'If love could've saved you...'

Wishing you a peaceful night. ❤️
A poem on a green background. The text reads: "I study your photos like they're crime scenes. As if I missed something. As if staring hard enough might change the ending. I'm not the same person I was before. There's a before-you-died version of me. And then there's whatever this is. The grief doesn't ask for permission. It shows up when I'm laughing. It climbs into bed with me at 3 a.m. It reminds me: you're still gone. If love could've saved you, you'd still be here. And I'd still be whole." @theunfinishedstories
