Hi Kate, it's great to meet you. I love photos sprinkled throughout your story especially the one of you age 3 reading on the sofa. It brings back lovely memories for me and I wish that for every child.

You've had an interesting life so far and I love your conversational tone - it feels like you're chatting with us over a coffee. It sounds like the last few years have been tough, but I can tell you're a trooper and the kind of person who makes the best of things.

I hope the years ahead will be kind to you and I look forward to reading your stories. Take care.
