We’ve been in touch every day since and have been through the rollercoaster of life, from youthful dreams to crunchy knees and weird skin spots. We’ve shared the highs, the lows and everything in between, including the occasional 'what did I walk into this room for?' moments.
We often say we’ll have a roaring party when we turn 100, with cake, music and matching walking frames, although she's still resisting the walker. Friends like you, Sweetie, are worth far more than their weight in gold; you're a rare gem and one of the most precious treasures in my life.
