I don’t even know where to start, Chris. You came into my life during the really dangerous DV situation and the eventual restraining order. I was absolutely terrified and thought I wouldn’t live to see my 22nd birthday. I remember coming to see you play with Lyndsay at The Dungeon. From that night on for a long time, we were inseparable. You were a safe haven for Chloe, Haydn and I. You treated my children like they were yours. You would go to my photo shoots and sit on the beach smiling...
