It has been a very hard couple of weeks. My beautiful friend, Helen (pictured), lost her three year battle with cancer, aged 42. We had known each other for 40 years and she leaves behind three gorgeous children, the youngest of whom has just turned 6. My memories will stay with me forever- the day we first met was through a hole in the fence in our gardens as she had just moved next door. I remember with laughter our little tea parties in the garden as children when we used to use Helen's china teaset and fill the teapot with Cola and the milk jug with milk and then pour this amazing concoction into teacups and drink our tea containing mixed cola and milk. Oh how we pretended it was delicious. We would then run around and around her Willow Tree in the garden tugging at the leaves - I loved my friend and I will miss her forever, but my memories are cherished and imprinted on my mind for an eternity. Goodbye my beautiful, clever and very very inspirational friend Helen - your life has impacted on me and I will never forget you. x

Im so sorry to have arrived at your blog for the first time to read such a sad post about your dear friend. Its so unfair to be taken at such an early age. My husbands colleague has just lost his wife 2 days ago, she was only 40 and has 3 little girls under the age of 8, its just so sad X
ReplyDeleteLife is so sad - we have to live for the day and enjoy it. I will never put anything off now, never save something for best - just will do all that I can on the spur...... it puts things into perspective now - the little niggly things really don't matter anymore. I will never go to sleep on an argument and will always tell my children that I love them..... Sorry it has been on a sad note that you have read my blog - there will be more uplifting entries soon. I owe it to Helen to smile and enjoy life - she would have wanted that...
