I was well and truly blessed with the most
amazing family anyone can ask for. I have an incredible brother, who has always
been there for me and makes me super proud every day for doing what he does.
And an amazing mum and dad who would literally move the earth for me if they
had to. They are always there for me, they support me, they cherish me and they
never ever let me down.
I was also lucky enough to have had two
sets of beautiful grandparents. Who I have incredible memories of. On my dad's
side, William George Cole, who, had he still been alive, would have recently
celebrated his 100th birthday. It hurts me to say this, but having lost Grampy
when I was very young I struggle to remember him and unfortunately I don't have
any full memories to hold on to. I am constantly told the most wonderful
stories, by dad and his siblings of what he was like and how he behaved. Just
like my dad, he was an absolute legend. Lily May Cole, my dad's mother, was
equally as much a legend. She provided me with smiles and laughs a minute. I
can still hear her voice and her one liners now.
On my mum's side. John Gilbert Reynolds,
the gentle giant. An extremely kind man, who my mum takes after most
definitely. I will never forget our Sunday's sat in front of the TV together,
usually watching Eastenders and eating mum's welsh cakes! Mum's mum Violet
May Reynolds was a superstar! I have so many memories of how we used to snuggle
up in bed together eating toast, paint each other nails and play with her jewelry
every time I stayed over.
Not a day goes by when I don't think about
at least one of them, if not all, and how much they have contributed to making
me into the person that I am today. So, I decided that I wanted to honour
each and every one of them with a tattoo that I could look at and each time
remember how incredible they all were.
Designed myself and inked by Wendy at
Exotic Tattoos (Plaze Singapura) I am extremely proud to have them with me
wherever I go. Love you always.
