James Green always dreamt of being a father and was thrilled when he and his wife, Cloe, were expecting their first child. They decided to have a big family together, even after Cloe thought they had enough children. James drove the kids to school, worked from home, and was a caring, enthusiastic parent.

After their fifth child’s birth with cerebral palsy, Cloe went for contraception, but fate intervened, and they had eight children. Tragedy struck on December 4, 2015, when James passed away suddenly in bed. He had hypertensive heart disease, which went unnoticed due to the lack of regular check-ups. Left with eight children, Cloe received support from loved ones.

She remained devoted to her children’s memory of James, who loved being a dad. The community rallied around them, raising funds and helping rebuild their garden. Cloe’s strength in facing this tragedy is inspiring.

This story honors Cloe’s bravery and James’ loving parenting.
