You know, I was 23 when I had him and we, myself and his father separated and we grew up together, like we holiday together.

We were very, very close.

Now, of course, there's a stage in the middle where they don't want to, you know, know their mammy and you're not cool.

But he is an absolute solid young man.

And I always remember the teachers in, when I used to go to his parent teacher meetings in CCM, I always remember them saying to me, he's a gentle giant because he's a big six foot four fella and he is a gentle giant.

And now, you know, after everything I've been through, he's just that solid, you know, and, you know, he says the same for me, but we're very, very close.

And now it's a lovely stage because he's 24 and, you know, we'll make arrangements to go for dinner together, you know, or will we?

You know, he came to me when I ran the Rome half marathon.

He came to support me and jumped in and ran the last few kilometers with me.

You're into the run.

And Daniel had ran the Paris Marathon last year.

And I got in and ran with him for a little few minutes when he was struggling at that 40 km.

And then he did the same to me in Rome.

And I'll never forget him like, Mom, I'm so proud of you.

I'm so and he running beside me and makes me emotional, you know, running beside me in Rome.

So he's a he's a great young man.

Then you had another son.

Then I had my second little boy, 17 years apart.

But I always wanted a second child.

Brenda always really did.
