Seconds to Snap

by Tina McGuff

  Thank you also to Jane for reading for me. Your input was invaluable and appreciated.

  Thank you to everyone I met along the way and helped shape me to become who I am today. You have all left your mark on my memory and I will never forget you.

  A huge thank you to Katy and Andrew for believing in me and my story. I’m forever grateful.

  I would also like to thank and pay tribute here to my mum and sisters. I love you all from the bottom of my heart and I am sorry for everything I put you through.

  Lots of love to my Auntie A and cousins … you know I love you all very much.

  Big love to Uncle D and the rest of the clan … love you all, too.

  A special thank you to my wonderful Italian family.

  Dad – Rest in peace and I miss you every day.

  Gary, for being there for me – love you.

  I thank my children – Steven, Danny, John and Holli. You are all my favourites! I love you and you make me so proud to be your mum.

  Thanks, too, to my nieces, nephew and TGJCH – love you all very much.

  And thank you the most to my husband, Jock – you have always supported me and walked alongside me through tough times, never judging me or doubting me. Forever yours – FBS x
