‘Today is recognition of what we have achieved’
Myleene added: “Like you, there were days bringing up Ava (and Hero) where it felt the world was fighting against us and I was very much on my own.
“We have an amazing community around us but as a single mum when they were so young, the fear, the loneliness, the decision making, the mental load before everything else is considered, can really overwhelm.”
Giving a shout out to the single mothers, Myleene continued. “There were people who wanted to see me fail and to them as well as the majority who wanted to see us win, thank you for spuring me on. Today is recognition of what we have achieved, I had no intention of failing my children.
Thank you for choosing me to be your Mama
“Ava, I have single-handedly grafted so that you might have the best I could give you and you have in turn risen up and grabbed everything with gusto, determination and resilience. You are fiesty, fearless and stronger than I could have ever imagined yet soft, loving and kind in equal measure.”
Myleene also said: “In the days I wondered where I would get the strength, it came from my girls. When they worry about me and how much I take on, I remind them, I’m forged from the fire. Single Mamas, I see you and so do our babies. Well done, keep on keeping on.
“And to my eldest daughter, my Ava bear, my day one, my forever love, thank you for choosing me to be your Mama.
“You are talented, smart, intuitive and an exceptional human being. My sun rises and sets with you. Go out and see the world on your terms babygirl. Just remember to come home every once in a while to tell Mama all about it. Klass of 2025, Dismissed.”
