‘Proud doesn’t cover it, my heart swells with feelings I can’t put in to words.’

She continued:’Happy birthday my darling girl. I hope you know how special you are, and how much light you have brought to all who are lucky enough to know you. Especially me.

‘I say it all the time and I will never stop… in the words of auntie Drew, I was born the day you were born. I love you. Mama.’
