Remembering too that 18 years ago today, the local press photographer arrived at my hospital bed, only a couple of hours after giving birth to Dot.T. A photo of me and Elbows, our newborn baby and the midwife was then printed in 100,000 newspapers. It was a unforgettable time of our lives as a family.
