After meeting John, he said one of the most important things to him was for me to be able to love his brothers, their families and his two children (Izzy & Sophie). I was so nervous meeting Charlie, Hannah, Oliver and Phoebe for the first time, I spent a lot of time petting Fred the dog and Charlie said to me, something along the lines of “Fred must like you because he wee’d on John’s ex!” It made me laugh so much and put me totally at ease.... The bond Charlie had with his brothers was something I’d never experienced before, he treated me like a sister and something I will never forget, he had a way of making everyone around him laugh with his sarcasm, it was absolutely infectious. He was the most amazing husband, father, friend and brother. It hurts so badly that I won’t be able to see him and cuddle him again, but what he gave to me and those around him, I will give to Hannah, Oliver and Phoebe, I will love and protect them with all my heart, forever... Sleep tight C, love you xxxx
