My husband is the kindest, funniest, most strange and wondrous person I know.
My sister Arlene, who is 75 and on marriage number seven. I admire her hopefulness.

My mam, dad and sister, who have all been through an incredible amount. They’ve all had health problems and have come through with strength, grace and positivity.
