I’m never one to shy away from heart and health issues, and my baby boy collapsed at school this morning. Syncope is one of the symptoms of my heart disease, and it can be hereditary. Myself, I can cope with. My kids? Breaks my heart 💔

**COVER REVEAL** This is a big day for me... Fourteen years ago, I died twice and had to retire from the police when I was still in my 20's. I really didn't think that my dodgy heart would still be ticking, nor that I'd have something like this to shout about. Proud. ❤️💙
