Caroline Quentin remembers late friend
Caroline posted the treasured photograph on Instagram and explained the sad story behind it.
She insisted she is “doing her best” for the Carola’s daughter, who is now a grown up, as she continues to help her navigate life without a mum.
Caroline captioned the picture: “This is my goddaughter on the day of her birth.
“That’s her mum who is no longer with us, I’m doing my best to be there for her beloved girl.”
She finished her poignant message: “#mothersday Miss you Carola . X.”
Caroline’s fans have been quick to show their support to the actress after she shared her sadness over Carola’s death.
One has posted a string of red heart emojis, saying: “Sending love darling.”
Another has written: “You are a wonderful, wonderful person XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.”
And a third told Caroline: “You are a incredible godmother.”
Caroline has replied to several other comments.
Referencing the baby girl in the picture, someone else remarked: “You look like you have totally fallen in love with her on that pic. Beautiful.”
Caroline wrote: “I did. I love her so much still x.”
Another follower said: “She’s so fortunate to have you as her GM.”
Caroline simply replied: “I love her so much.”
Does Caroline Quentin have children?
In addition to being a godmother, Caroline also has two children of her own.
She shares daughter Emily, 26, and son William, 22, with her husband Will Farmer.
Both the children have now moved out of home and Caroline recently admitted she has ’empty nest syndrome’.
She has also previously said she regrets putting her career before them both.
Caroline told Good Housekeeping: “God, I missed them. I mourned them terribly when I was away. I think that’s probably why I feel so bad about it, because it left a hole in me.
“People said, ‘Oh, they’re young for such a short period of time,’ and I didn’t listen. I thought I knew better, and I didn’t.”
Caroline said she wished she’d turned more jobs down, but added: “You can’t turn back the clock, you have to live with these things.”
