This is me with all five of my children. It’s Tim’s 10th birthday in 1995. I look so happy – and I was. I loved nothing better than to have all my kids with me.
 

It was the worst decision of my life to let the kids go. If Bonny had not come back to live with me six months later, my despair may have gotten the better of me.

I also have Juliette to thank for making sure all her siblings stayed close to her and to one another, and Mum and JB for making their house a frequent gathering place for us.
