Screaming at the top of my lungs, I’d caught sight of a spider.
‘Paul, come and get rid of this for me!’ I shouted to my hubby, 40, not wanting to pick it up for myself.
‘No! I want to keep it,’ our daughter Charley smiled, taking it into her cupped hands.
Ever since a young age, she’d always been interested in animals even down to the smallest ant on the pavement, wanting to look after them.
That’s something that her siblings Jake, now 11, Callum, now 17, Kylah, now 18, and Sophie, now 20, weren’t so keen on!
But Charley didn’t mind, she even had her own catchphrase as a toddler…
Charley was a real firecracker – outgoing and fun!
‘I do it by my own,’ she’d mutter, which would melt my heart every single time.
And that caring, independent personality definitely continued through her primary school years, too.
Loving all things
