Del and Rodney arrive at the cemetery. He finds his mum's grave straight away.
"Here we are buddy." Del says to Rodney, strapping him out of his pushchair. "This is where we remember Mummy and put down flowers" He explains as Rodney gets out of his pushchair, still holding the flowers. "I think she would like you to do the honours."
He holds Rodney's hand, Rodney gets the idea and lays the roses into where a bunch of other flowers lay. Del bends down next to Rodney.
"Love you mum." He whispers.
"Where Mummy." Little Rodney asks, confused.
Moments later, an emotional Del quietly sits on the bench beside there Mum's grave and admires the angels on the headstone. He lifts Rodney up onto his lap who's fiddling with his bunny, they both sit there quietly and Del begins to talk.
"She's gone to a very magical place, far away in the sky where we will go someday. I miss her too Rodney, she misses you too and that's why it's my Job to look after you and make her proud. I'll make us millionaires some day, Bruv. I promise."
