Red and green must never be seen

I just spent some time with a memory... Completely out of the blue... But it was nice to be paid a visit.

Just under 15 years ago we lost a childhood friend. It was expected, and we said goodbye and all the things that we needed to say...

But it wasn't fair... And we all carry part of her with us always.

I now live in the city she first chose to be her home. So far away from the home of our childhood.

And just now I was washing the dishes, and Pandora played her favourite song, and all of a sudden i could hear her big belly laugh and her huge smile was right there... And i was back, at age five wearing her red bikini with the fluffy worm on the front that I secretly coveted, playing under the sprinkler... And then as adults, three sheets to the wind, walking to the next pub, laughing so hard as someone carried her leg and someone piggy-backed her when the booze / leg combination got too much. 

Still makes me smile. Thanks for the memories... Still miss you girl. xx
