In this series writers celebrate a person who changed their lives. Here Jack Monroe thanks the calm, reassuring presence who has helped her through 10 years of motherhood

It’s been nearly 10 years now, and I’ve never really managed to put into words what I’m about to say, because the words are so big, and so small, and there are so many to choose from, unspoken, unbidden, I never really know where to start. So I’ll start from the beginning.

What the... 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️

This family is making life beautiful in all its complications. Life IS complicated - BootstrapCook is a star.

What a lovely tribute. Proof that you can still love someone even if you can’t live with them.

As a mother who is no longer with the dad of her children & as mother who opened her heart to her now husband's children to get the new monicker of step-mum this made me cry, in the best way. SB is being raised by his own wonderful village.

BootstrapCook truly heartwarming - families come in all shapes & sizes allyouneedislove

This is the sweetest story i read this year❤. How refreshing! However, i can't help thinking, why then did she let go such a wonderful man?

They aren’t together because?

This is genuinely lovely and one of the reasons BootstrapCook is such a positive in my life, and the lives of others.

:)

Here Samantha Morton recalls the person who arrived out of nowhere to provide comfort in her grief This is so nice. I remember just after my father died in New York I was having a drink and cigarette before calling his best friend to say that he had passed. I was in bits and a very lovely lady saw me, waited for me to get off the phone and gave me a hug. People are nice. This is beautiful- thank you samthesparrow
