The Kerseys

Our family is made up of me (mum) and Will (Dad) we met when we were 17 and pregnant with our first child at 18. Whilst James wasn’t planned, he was very much loved, he was also the cause of us having to grow up pretty quickly. I was studying at college at the time whilst managing my pregnancy. I ended up in premature labour and my appendix bursting but we got to meet our teeny, tiny baby James. He was so small, so perfect. Our adventure began right there. A family of our own.

James was baptised and Will proposed infront of our family and friends. We got married the following year and then welcomed our second baby boy the following January. Welcome to the world Harry. Shortly after Harry’s birth, my Nan was told her battle with cancer would soon take hold. It was then that I made the promise to her to take the boys to Florida and see as much of the world as I physically could. Just as she and my Grandpa planned to do. She passed away peacefully and I got to share those final moments with her. My Nan is something special important to me because she pretty much raised me. I wouldn’t be here without her love.

Time seemed to stand still, I juggled a toddler with needs, a new born baby, the loss of my Nan, my parents divorce all whilst trying to keep my brother on the straight and narrow. He took our parents divorce particularly hard.

2 years later and along came our third and final baby. We didn’t find out the gender this time, so it was a total surprise on the day. Ronnie was born. Named after both my grandparents and my brother. I didn’t know it then, but he’d be named after 3 angels.

That brings me on to 2023. Although that’s a 6 year jump, it needs to be said. My brother and I had crossed words shortly after my birthday in November. His partner was abusive to him mainly but was also to us as a family, we weren’t allowed to be a part of their child’s life, suffered verbal abuse from her..the list goes on. I’d pointed out that he deserved better and even though he chose to put up with her behaviour for the sake of their child, didn’t mean we had to tolerate the abuse she gave us. My brother and I had that kind of relationship, I always felt I was the only person that was ever brutally honest with him. It didn’t always serve me well. But it only ever came from a good place. I hated seeing him so downtrodden at her expense.
