Jeanine describes how her parents have been “absolutely fantastic”.

 



It has not been an easy experience someone said it was meant to be trying to teaching me patience. I am not a very patient person at times. I suppose my love for Robert, I suppose that is the main thing that keeps me going through because I just love him and he is a lovely boy and I love his sister and I love, you know I just want them to be both happy and just have the opportunities and chances that I have had in life. My Mum and Dad have been really very supportive towards me. I couldn’t do what I am doing now, I couldn’t do any of it without them. I mean they have just been absolutely fantastic, they have been so supportive and so brilliant.
