Shay Kaur Grewal – Multi-awarding Broadcaster and TV Presenter
Mother-In-Law: Sarbjit Kaur Grewal
My bond with my mother-in-law has been incredibly special over the past 21 years. From the moment I met her, she welcomed me into the family with warmth and love, and our relationship has grown through mutual respect and understanding. She’s always been an anchor for both Sunny and me, and there’s so much laughter and love in our home, especially around her cooking, which is her love language. She’s constantly sharing her life anecdotes, which I’ve always enjoyed.
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned from Mum is the importance of unconditional love. She has always been unwavering in her support for her children, especially Sunny, who is dyslexic. Watching her always stand by him, even when others doubted him, taught me to be fully present for my daughter, Tyra. I’ve learned from Mum that my love for Tyra should have no conditions, and that belief is at the core of our relationship.
Our bond is special because we’ve always been open and honest with each other. Mum has supported me in following my dreams, and I know that without her, Sunny and I wouldn’t have been able to achieve our success as broadcasters. We even took her to New York when we won an award, as it was as much hers as it was ours. Her support has allowed our careers to flourish.
A life-changing lesson Mum has taught me is to live with gratitude. Despite being given only three months to live due to terminal cancer, she taught me to remain hopeful and positive through adversity. Her inner strength, rooted in her faith, has been an inspiration to our family, and I am forever grateful for the time we’ve had with her.
