I used to pretend sometimes.

I'd sit down on the sofa with a cup of tea and I'd listen to the silence.

And I actually would pretend that Henry, Jasper and Evan had just fallen asleep in the cot next door.

And I was finally going to get just a few moments of peace before they woke up.

And that's why it was so quiet.

And that's why it was so quiet.

And, oh, a bit of silence.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I hope that you found that it was also a story of hope over a story of despair.

And because that's what I see my story as, you know, it's, I would hope that it's uplifting rather than depressing, even though, you know, it's sad.

There's still so much hope, I think.

Thank you.

I mean, you know, I feel like it's actually helped me.

I can't imagine how my life would be if it hadn't been for, you know, the charity that's come from my boys and the fact that I've been able to bring them with me on the journey of the last 20 years through Running for Premature Babies.

Yeah, it was just so incredible when Ash and I, I was recently married to Ash, and when we found out that we were pregnant with not one, not two, but three babies, it was really such a spin-out.

I mean, we couldn't believe it, but we couldn't think of anything more wonderful.

I remember at the very first scan, when we found out we were having three, and I mean, it was a huge shock.

I remember when the sonographer was just measuring the three little ones in there and one of them was too small.

And the sonographer said, oh, you know, there's three, but come back in two weeks because this other little one, you know, probably won't make it.
