Dedication (#ueeef2ef5-a1c0-51cc-98f9-7468fbfe2620)

Family is everything. It is the be all and end all, and I have the very best. My husband, my kids, my parents, siblings and all the rest of the clan, I love them all so much. However, the bond between a mum and her daughter is very special. The cord that once bound daughter to mum before birth never really breaks. No matter how far apart they might be, that invisible tether just gets stronger and I’d like to dedicate this book to my beautiful, brave cousin, Tanya Jagger, who is currently fighting the battle of her life, and her equally brave mam, Pauline Jagger, who has endured far more than she could ever deserve.

My Girl (#ueeef2ef5-a1c0-51cc-98f9-7468fbfe2620)

My darling daughter, don’t you grieve.

I have not really gone,

It’s hard right now, but please believe,

I’ve been here all along.

I’ve watched with pride, how much you’ve grown,

I’ve shared your smiles and laughter,

I’ve felt your pain when you’ve been alone,
