“I was 12 when my dad died. I’ve got nieces and nephews who are 5,6… they’d only have half the life left that I had with my dad.”

Grief has a way of showing up in the ordinary moments, like watching kids grow up, or becoming a parent yourself. This is a reminder that if someone you love is grieving, no matter how long it’s been, let them know you’re thinking of them and check in.

Thank you to Freddie for such a moving interview.

Freddie’s Mum left him three letters to open after she died. The first one when he felt like it, the second one when he got married, and the third one on the birth of his first child.

Freddie just became a dad, but he couldn’t bring himself to open that third and final one because it was the last thing he had from his Mum which was new.

Thank you to Freddie for trusting us with his story.

This is a reminder that, if someone you love is grieving, no matter how long it’s been, let them know you’re thinking of them and check in.

Write or update your will for free this month.

You’re meant to review your will every five years, or after any big life change. Married, divorced, new baby, new house. Most of us don’t.

Until the end of October, Octopus Legacy has partnered with charities across the UK to cover the cost of writing, reviewing or updating your will. Online, over the phone or face to face, with expert support whenever you want it.

We’ve raised £106 million for our charity partners through gifts left in wills through this campaign.

Many people include a gift to charity in their will as a thank you, but it isn’t required to claim the offer.

Dolly Parton died yesterday at age 80, and her legacy is unlike anyone else’s on Earth. She grew up as one of twelve kids, raised in a one-room cabin in the Smoky Mountains, and through hard work, talent and pure charisma, became one of the most influential and successful musicians of all time.

She wrote more than 3,000 songs, 49 solo albums, and had 25 country No. 1s.

Dolly was universally beloved – and not just for her music. She was a dedicated philanthropist who did her part to make the world a better place: from helping send more than 300 million books to children around the world, to funding a children’s hospital, to backing the early research behind the COVID vaccine.

We will always love you, Dolly. Thank you.

“I’m carrying on your legacy and doing everything I can to make the most of my life…”

Thank you to .me for travelling to London in June to come to our wind phone and letting us share her message to her dad, who she never got to meet.

A wind phone is a disconnected phone where you can leave a message for someone who’s died.

If someone you know is grieving, let them know you’re thinking of them, and check in.

“Talking about football, talking about boxing, just having normal conversations that flow off the tip of the tongue.”

That’s one of the things Liam misses most about calling his Dad.

If you have any mates who are grieving, even giving them a call and having a post-match debrief can help.

Thank you to Liam for sharing about his Dad and for hosting us at their event.

Today would have been David Hockney’s 89th Birthday.

Years ago, he said: “I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money... I’m greedy for an exciting life... I intend to have it exciting until the day I fall over.” And he did exactly that.

From painting sun-soaked swimming pools in Los Angeles in his twenties to 300-foot landscapes on iPads in his eighties, he never stopped being exciting and became the nation’s most loved artist in the process.

Rest in peace, David.

“My dad was my hype man... he was the only person in my life who genuinely wanted me to be better than him”.

Thank you to Max, , for talking to us about his brilliant dad.

If your dad’s no longer around, what do you miss most about calling him?

If he is, and you have that kind of relationship, why not give him a call today?

How do you think you’re like your dad?

For Dylan, a big part is football: years of watching it together, staying up far too late, and now playing it together too.

Not all of us are lucky enough to have a parent we’re proud of, or to have that kind of relationship. So, to those that do, why not ring them and show them some appreciation?

Thank you to for letting us crash your session and chat to your lovely players. MAN v FAT is a community that helps men lose weight, and to chat about what’s on their mind, taking weight off their shoulders too ❤️⚽
