So emotional & powerful. Jane’s love for her mummy, her influence & the closeness of her family shine through every word. An amazing athlete, but an even more remarkable person. A beautiful reflection on love, loss & finding a way through grief. So proud of you, @janepadams14 ❤️
"I know for a fact she'll be up in heaven going, 'Here look, I died last night and look what my daughter's doing today.'"
