dolls as though she was the teacher.

mum and sister, and she must have downloaded
something, and the computer froze, her sister
started saying arr Jasmin broke the laptop so
Shanice her sister told her mum, they all had a go
trying to fix it hey could not. Then they rang an
engineer/ technician who charged £25 he tried to
fix it run a few programmes but he could not fix it
after he had gone Jasmin started fiddling around
with it and she got it going again,
I remember Jasmin had a bike for Christmas it was
a big bike her feet could hardly touch the ground I
remember teaching Jasmin to ride this bike there
was some waste land at the back of the house
where we use to practice.
She did good and eventually she got the hang of it
and stared to ride the bike by herself.

Birmingham to see her mum she would always
come to see me and my now wife Joy would cook
dinner for Jasmin and Sean we would chill out

you’ve been involved in with her?
I finished work an was on my way to pick Jasmin
up from after school club which I done most
evenings but this evening I was running late it was
- 40-plus minute drive and a busy time of the day
I had traffic to contend with and had to drop friend
off as we would lift sharing I was running late I
remember getting to kids club Jasmin was the
only one there and you could see she was not
happy all her Friend had been pick up and Jasmin
was the only one there and I seen a tear roll down
her face, I felt bad and vowed not to let her down
again,

together, what would it be? we respect each other,
and she can rely on me.
any other emotion/ nostalgic stories to work in?
what would you like to say about your daughter’s
mother?
she’s done a good job bringing up Jasmin and her
sister Shanice and their brother Nathen they are
intelligent so that was half the battle her mum
instilled discipline into them, so I take me hat off
to her,
as soon as they came home from school, they did
their homework straight away. Jasmin and her
mother are very close so well done she did a great
job.

anything but I want to prepare something I might
get an opportunity I just want to say how happy I
am of her and how very proud of her I am and
proud to be walking her down the aisle it’s a
difficult that we live in and to find someone. you

life with a partner who’s on the same leave

found that in Sean he has put a sparky in her eye
and she’s grown in confidents

would want for his daughter.
