Have just left my beautiful little Scarlett Rose. I was lying with her as she went off to sleep for her nap. Her poor little body burning with fever from an infection, she stroked my arm and said:
"You're beautiful mummy"
"Thank you Scarlett"
"I love you so much"
"I love you too sweetheart"
"Happy Birthday Mummy....good night"
Now don't get me wrong. The beautiful Peridot ring that Nick gave me for my birthday is magnificent......but that, well, that is just priceless.
