I suppose we are all allowed our trip down memory lane……
I have some very special friends that have travelled this road with me – today I want to tell them how special they are to me and that I am today who I am because of them.
I am in actual fact a little bit of all of them wrapped in one………. So to my friends’ thank you – and when life seems tough and unbearable – go down our memory lane – plenty of laughs there. Don’t forget we will always have each other………..
LOVE YOU ALL……..
Random memories no particular order – I am sure if you are reading this you will know who you are and see for yourself how fantastic this journey has been……
