He said, ''Freddie is great, he started preschool the week after she died, he's come on leaps and bounds. He's mischievous and loves adventure. I will try and talk to him as much as possible. We have a great support.''

He continued, ''He doesn't understand anything about what's happened. He still talks about Rachel in the present tense. His grief will come and go. Probably when he is four, five or six, we can see how it's really affecting him but right now he is a really happy little boy."

Rachael launched a podcast with fellow cancer patients and started writing a book dedicated to Freddie.

She said, ''She started it at the end of June when she knew her health wasn't so good and by the end of August – she died at the start of September – she had written 85,000 words and it's 85,000 words that are good words. It's not angry, it's not bitter, there's no resentment. It's all of her personality and humour and spirit. It's not about cancer, it's not a sad book, it's a happy book."

Steve said that it was hard to read at the start but now he smiles whe he does.

Steve announced his wife's death in September, by posting a selfie of the couple.

He captioned it, ''Our beautiful, courageous Rachael died peacefully this morning surrounded by her close family. We are crushed but she would want me to thank everyone who took an interest in her story or sent messages of support. You'll never know how much they meant to her. Steve and Freddie."

We know that Rachael would be so proud of her two boys.
