  • "I was crying. There was only one person that I wanted to share that moment with. And I knew I couldn’t." England’s star Fran Kirby lost her mom without warning, at the age of 14. She tried to toughen up and be ok. But the grief caught up with her.
    Today she shares an inspiring message about vulnerability. And about her mom Denise.

    Its nice to see such touching and uplifting stories. We sometimes forget footballers are humans too and can face mental health. Similar situation happened to Adriano and he never recovered from his fathers loss. Cudos to Fran Kirby

    Fran, you are very special.
    I am from Kirbymoorside,, North Yorks, my mother's home town. She died when I was almost five.I spent a couple of years with my foster family before being forced to leave to join my step father. That was the beginning of a horrible childhood which messed up my life.
    I am nearly 80 and have been looking for her my whole life. I cry a lot, especially with stories like yours.
    You make me happy too. Chelsea is my team. Much love.xxxx

    Fran, I have a huge empathy for you and admire your courage enormously. I lost my mum, who had been a single mum and was let go from the WAAF because she was pregnant with me, in 1942. In those days you were seen as a 'fallen' woman by society. Worst of all by her Yorkshire family.
    I was extremely fortunate to be taken in by my baby sitter's family for a couple of years, living a classic Yorkie boy's life until , due to one uncle's wife complained about my grandfather giving me too much attention and it was decided that my mother's husband should take me and life from there on in became pure hell.
    Life has been a constant struggle without her support and, now 80, I still miss her terribly and look at her photo.
    Bring her with you as you succeed so incredibly and know that it is because of her that youhave achieved so much. And be proud of yourself. Much love, James.
