Book description
'Kiss boys two times after I have gone'
'Please teach the boys to say what they mean'
'Mummy loved orange Club biscuits, jam and jelly and lemon curd'
On her deathbed, Kate Greene's only concern was for her two little
boys, Reef and Finn, and her loving husband, Singe. She knew she'd be
leaving them behind very soon.
Over her last few days, Kate created Mum's List. The couple talked
and cried together as she wrote her thoughts and wishes down, trying
to help the man she loved create the best life for their boys after
she was gone.
It wasn't the first time Singe and Kate had faced the spectre of
death. Four years earlier, doctors discovered a large lump in baby
Reef 's abdomen. Kate, pregnant with Finn, was so distressed that she
gave birth dangerously early. Both boys pulled through, but afterwards
Kate received the diagnosis that every woman dreads . . .
St John Greene grew up in the West Country where he met his teenage
sweetheart, Kate. A qualified paramedic and lifeguard, St John, known to
his friends as Singe, founded Training Saints, which specializes in
teaching extreme sports to young people. Since Kate's death Singe has
devoted his life to raising their two young sons, Reef and Finn. He
continues to run Training Saints and is chair of governors at the boys'
school. He spends all of his free time teaching them the things he loved
to do with Kate: sailing, scuba diving, jet skiing and power boating
near their home in Somerset.
Mum's List
is his first book.
