“Togetherness is something many people will have with their family but for me true togetherness is with that one special person who knows you from the inside out. Something you didn’t truly know you lacked until you found it. A warm cosiness you feel inside, something that makes you more than you could ever be on your own. Together you can take on the world”

“Me, lying in bed surrounded by my pets…”

“Togetherness means sharing all of life’s ups and downs and helping each other through them”

“Support when you’re in a bad place. And wine. Plenty of wine”

“Togetherness for me is putting an old movie on, cook something nice, bottle of wine and get a blanket and cuddle on the sofa”
