She wrote

“13 years ago today,I didn’t know what I was doing. How I was going to be a teenage mum amidst so many Internal and External critics. I was very career driven.

How was I going to drop school and take care of my new Valentine baby? But I had faith. And an incredible amount of resilience that saw me through.

I remember my mum telling me that what I had in my hands was greater. And then that’s when I looked down at his lovely head full of hair and let out a grateful sigh and this shot was taken.
