Who would you like to give a little cheer to - and why?

I would like to offer help and cheer to all those family members who are caring at home for their loved ones. Parents of children with disabilities, husbands and wives caring for a partner with dementia, young children caring for parents. The list goes on. They do everything from love and are so often unappreciated. Thanks to them all

How lovely. What a real treasure your husband is and so sweet of you to stand up and praise him - he deserves it.

He sounds a lot like my son who, all his life has had, "a heart for others".

He has the same attitude of honesty and integrity as your DH and, like you, I have received numerous comments over the years from colleagues and friends.

Even as a little boy he would bring friends home because, "Mum, he didn't have any dinner and I gave him mine but he's still hungry."

When he worked in security in London, he would take piles of sandwiches and flasks of hot tea for the homeless who came to the site for shelter (they weren't supposed to!).

He once gave his winter coat to a man in shirt-sleeves, sleeping in an alleyway in February and later walked the 5 miles home at 3am, in bitter weather in just his shirt sleeves .

Now, at 40, he is just the same and recently spent all his considerable savings on legal counsel to try and prevent a little boy being taken, unjustly, from his mother.

I am immensely proud of him and feel it a real privilege to be his Mum.

We need more quiet heroes like this.
