In their words

They made one for Mam, Dad, Grandad and a new baby.

A Christmas gift
We gave a book of stories about Mam to her for Christmas and she said it was the best gift she had received. There were some stories she had never heard! She felt really surrounded by love.

A big birthday
So easy! I put the link in the family WhatsApp and nearly everyone did one, even my uncle in Australia. Mam had no idea and she cried!!

It was really easy to collect the stories of Mum, and it's now a book I can give all my children that really brings her to life. Pardon the pun and dark humour!!

I love Chorus! Thank you so much for giving us a chance for so many laughs remembering Tom. The family chat was taken over talking about him again with all we had uncovered. It was beautiful.
