Sarah and I met at work, eight or so years back. They were the days of legendary office pranks and crazy overseas junkets business trips. Or long lunches that would move onto a karaoke bar (Rock DJ by Robbie Williams. Every.Time) then dancing in town till the sun came up. Not even a broken ankle and crutches would hold her back. She's great fun. Sarah has a brilliant sense of humour and can tell a good story. Even the most ordinary of tales, told by Sarah, can everyone in hysterics. Sarah adores her husband and their three beautiful young children. I asked her for her thoughts on motherhood, true to form her response was searingly honest;
"I think what stands out the most for me is, I was totally unaware how fiercely you could love another human being. I remember when I was pregnant with Lilly, I was genuinely worried that I wouldn't love her as much as Molly because I didn't think it was humanly possibly to love another person as much as I loved her. Of course, as soon as Lilly arrived, my love for her was just as strong. And the same again with Charlie. Somehow there was enough room in my heart for all three. Still to this day, it never ceases to amaze me how strong your love for your children is. You would literally do ANYTHING for them."
Sarah is genuine, thoughtful and incredibly loyal. She's been there for me with unwavering support over the years. She's one of the best chicks around and I'm lucky to call her a friend.
