Ms Caroline Smith:

That is something that anyone will tell you. We might cry if you talk about them but they are not tears of sadness, they are tears of joy because you have remembered them and recognised them as part of our family. We get Christmas cards and those Christmas cards go in the bin if they do not have his name on them. There you go. I am putting that out there. When I sign a birthday or Christmas card, I always draw a little butterfly on it because he is, as I said, our eternal butterfly.

This Bill is hugely important for parents to have that time to grieve and I fully support it. I also support, if possible, the changes we have suggested. I thank the committee very much for giving us the time to come in here and apologies for the emotion.
