To my beautiful friend Claire. I wish we were able to say goodbye to each other. I wish that we had made more time for each other more often. I wish we would not have let years go by without seeing each other . I sit and think of you and have a conversation with you remember this , remember that , and I cry that we can’t do that in life anymore. I'm sorry that social media and texting became the main source of communication with not enough meet ups, coffee cake and laughs. I miss you so much and it breaks my heart you are not here anymore. Life is so cruel. I keep hearing “our songs” and I know you’re paying me a little visit. I will always cherish all the memories we made growing up I have enough to write a book and I will relive them all in my mind over and over forever , from meeting you at the community centre play group , to the non stop sleep overs at each others houses during our school years , to adults where we once again relived our youth through each other, we were sisters by heart and soul. We loved the 80’s, we loved Christmas, we loved our silly dances, we loved crisp sarnis , we loved pretty things, we loved reminiscing about our life together and I will continue to do that forever. You will be in my heart forever. Your smile will be one that I will never forget, along with your Beautiful heart and soul. I was very lucky to have known the real Claire, the funny, silly, organised , crazy Christmas lady, the most intelligent caring beautiful girl there ever was, with your cheeshan blond hair 😉 it’s funny as I still don’t know what that even meant. I wonder where you are now , what you are doing ? I pray that you are in Heaven with uncle Mel and are finding your way, I hope it’s a beautiful place wherever you are. I know you will visit me often, there are no goodbyes, just until we meet again. To my beautiful friend Claire who was taken far too soon, I love you so much and will miss you forever xxx
