James and Cloe fell in love when they were young. They dreamed of having a big family, and when Cloe got pregnant at 17, they were happy. They welcomed their first son, Leo, and later had Oliver and Meghan. Then, Miley was born with special needs.
Even though they decided not to have more kids, Cloe got pregnant again. James believed it was meant to be. They had twins, Lacey and Lexi, who also had special needs. They were now a family of eight.
Cloe stayed home to take care of the kids while James worked and helped with everything. He was full of energy, playing and reading to the kids.
But their happiness shattered when James suddenly died one morning. He was only 31. Everyone thought he was healthy, but he had high blood pressure and a heart condition he didn’t know about.
Cloe was devastated but knew she had to be strong for their kids. James loved being a dad, and she had to carry on for him and their children.
Their community supported them and raised money to renovate their garden, giving the kids a nice place to play.
Cloe faced the challenge of raising eight children alone, but she knew she could do it because of James’s love and strength.
