This photo is so special to me because it brings back so many happy memories. My little boy, Harry, adores Cinderella and here he is, sitting next to a real-life princess.

His dad, Graham, and I had taken him on the magical Disney cruise last May. It was our way of capturing as many memories as we can of our boy. You see, he’s fighting a cruel disease that means he’s slowly regressing. Day by day, he’s being taken away from us and, one day, memories will be all we have left.

A healthy baby boy

Harry was born in March 2009, a little brother to Joshua, then three. Happy and healthy, and so independent, he was crawling by nine months and potty training at just over a year.
