I'm surprised he hasn't got more – Stephen is a fantastic, caring Dad and a caring person. Stephen, you have the ability to love and take care of others and give your children everything you can to help them through a difficult and stressful world. I admire you greatly, I'd be proud to be your Mum. So sorry to hear Mum passed over. Sending hugs, kisses, and condolences. xxx
