As i grew up and then moved to Ireland I lost contact with Linda but i do have a lot of happy memories of the times i spent with Linda when I was younger. I remeber being down the caravan with Linda, Ian, Darren, My Mum, Rich, Joyce, Julie and Glen - We had just got fresh strawberries from one of the fields near by, someone was selling them. We were back in the Caravan and Linda gave me a big bowl of strawberries with squirty cream and even thou my mum said i couldn't have much sugar on the strawberries, Linda let me have lots - she sneaked it on when mum wasn't looking. When linda came around to my house when i was little for christmas she was always fun and jolly and played lots of games with us. She was always the heart of the party. I also remember Linda's laugh really clearly, it was very infectious and made me laugh. When i was younger i remember that i always loved going to Linda's house, I know this sounds strange, but i loved the way her house smelt, it always smelt comforting and safe and i was always happy there. My Dad and Nan have always told me that i was like Linda. Mainly when i done or said something silly that made them laugh or the facial expressions i pulled. They have said that alot of our characterists were the same.

Linda popping into the kitchen on a lunch break, making us both a cup of tea then sitting, chatting, catching up on our week, sharing thoughts and feelings. I do and will miss this i think ,for a very long time as sometimes you share things with people that you will never share with anyone else. I will hold these memories in my heart.
