✨ Happy New Year 2026 ✨

As we welcome another year, I want to take a moment to send love and good wishes to everyone near and far. Each new year brings fresh hope, new beginnings, and a chance to reflect on those we hold dear. 💫

Every year, I find myself missing the ones who are no longer with us — the loved ones who left us with beautiful memories and hearts full of love. Though they’re not here in person, they live on in our thoughts, our stories, and the way we continue to celebrate life. ❤️

Here’s to 2026 — may it be a year of kindness, health, and precious moments shared with those who matter most. And may we never forget the ones who helped shape who we are today. 🕯️💖

We would like to wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year.

We would also like to thank everyone for their continued support, and for accepting our support when you have needed it most — including all the people we are currently caring for. Trusting us to care for your loved ones truly is a privilege.

As we head into our 5th year of the shop being open, we want to say a special thank you to all of our staff members for your dedication and ongoing support.

Happy New Year from Harry and Sasha 🎉
