My last chemotherapy treatment today on a rollercoaster of a journey, including three hospital stays . No more treatment for the immediate future and a massive thank you to my children , family & friends who have literally dragged me through the bad days 💪

There is no stigma in having Cancer. It is a journey my mother, father & husband have all been on before me.I may take a leaf out of their book & get on with it. My brave children/family & friends are my inspiration,they refuse to let me lie down under it. ❤️It takes a village

My daddy left school at 14 and was educated in the school of life . He also believed in the power of education. I would have loved to share my Honorary Doctorate with him today, but hopefully he will be looking down

Kieran would have wanted me to remember happy memories on his first wedding anniversary away from home. It took 15 years to get up the aisle🤦‍♀️He called it an arranged marriage(that I was arranging) Ofcourse the seating plans involved Dogs & the kids were best man & bridesmaid ❤️

1 year of missing my funny, mischievous, animal loving husband. I feel lucky to have such kind and loving family and friends who have helped me, Gabrielle and Harry just cope with the pain of Kieran’s loss.
