I’ve been trying to post this for days now and just figured its’ probably not working because i wrote an essay, sorry it’s in three parts, could you imagine if i even shared a full week of our memories, i’d have written a series of books! I’ll be back again soon, love you always, Alex xXx

I remember years ago before I even moved to Ireland so must of been when we first met, we were in your living room and we found the scissors and for some daft reason we thought it would be a good idea for me to cut ur hair even though Caroline only lived next door! Well the laughs we had about that for years later, I don’t think Cathy and Caroline were too impressed though!

I came back from Amsterdam yesterday, we were planning to go there the next time u and Gina came over here. We would have had so much fun there, I just wish we got that one last trip together. I know we will get there one day when we meet on the other side and u were there with me in spirit anyway. I was so amazed a couple of months ago when I found tequila rose in the pub on my road, I think it’s safe to say I’ve had one for you every time I’ve been in there, you would be proud!

We did everything together – from my first ever trip to banada on the bus – that scary night when the bus broke down in tubercurry and we had to wait for the next one to come ! It could of been something out of a scary movie but it was fun with u by my side, to waking up hungover in my bed and going for breakfast to making our graduation together we have done it all. I’ll never forget the weekend we went to Achill and we were all on the beach in the cold drinking west coast cooler upside down whilst spinning around cos we thought it would get us more drunk!! And then hiding out in the car after Ninis uncle scared the shit outta us in the hostel.

I was going through our old group chats on Facebook and some of the stuff we used to talk about is too funny, me, you, Nini, Lisa and Michelle all talking about getting a house together, can u imagine if we actually went through with that? I still have that painting we done on my laptop one day of our ‘family’ in my living room in Dromore lol – think this might have also been the night when I took mums car!! Another great memory with you…

You were there for me more than most people will ever know and I can only hope you know how grateful I am to you for everything you helped me through. I just wish I had been there when u needed me the most. I hope you know i would have done anything for you. I used to look forward to our mad catch ups, even when I did eventually move back to London whenever we spoke it was like we were never apart, that’s how true friends are regardless of distance.

We shared a few years together at school, always sneaking off to Colettes house on our lunch for a sneaky fag, cup of tea and pure banter. I’ll never forget the day I skipped class and u arrived to the door with my homework telling mum I wasn’t at school! But I could never be mad at you because u would always come out with something to make us both start laughing until our cheeks hurt.
