I love my mother so much. I cling to her here as a one year old.
My blond curls were legendary and mummy refused to cut them until I was three.
I was Rapunzel.

This was my favorite thing in the world. My Orbit wagon. My mother would let us play forever it seems now. She really was the best mother a kid could ask for. Always made sure we had fun things to do.

Even as a child, I was so dramatic and very happy and my mother was so wonderful to take our pictures. The three of us are grateful to have had such a sweet mummy.

I loved being a kid. I was a gentle little chap really. Pretty some say.

Thank you Mummy for letting me be me. Just a sweet gay boy who was allowed to be himself.
