Lyn and I didn't meet until our mid-40s and it turned out we had less than 8 years together, 4 of which were in the shadow of cancer until she passed away in November 2016. But in those 8 years she made me the happiest man in the world. We were married in 2011, just over a year before her diagnosis after which we still made the most of the time we had remaining. She never complained, never sought pity and a lot of people didn't even realise her situation until the last months when she had to give up work. The St Barnabus Hospice At Home team were the greatest source of help and support in that final period, and the day centre were too before and, for me, after that. I'll never be able to thank them enough.

Miss you Mum and hope we make you proud of Harry and Eva. Miss you every day love Simon and Becki xxxx.

For Nanny,
Thank you for always treating me with the same love and care as one of your own. You will forever be loved and remembered in my heart, and you will always be my Nanny.
Lots of love,
Cian x
