    About this ebook

    My book is to inspire people to believe in themselves, and to love themselves, no matter the situation they are in or the obstacles they are going through in life. Not to let anyone or anything stop them from growing or let them be who they want to be because there is always life at the end of the tunnel. Never give up, keep going, and be strong

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
