A faded photo in a tiny frame..two little girls posing on a mountain side in Wales. My first holiday ever my beloved Auntie Balance and Uncle Tommy took us for a week in a caravan..Me my brother and their two youngest children..Robin and our Janet, I always referred to her as our !! She was my cousin my best friend and we spent every minute of the day together..exploring the local farm on blackberry hill, we loved horses and art .We were mad on the secret seven and formed our own club spending hours planning and making our clubhouse cosy,,,my aunty's shed!! We spent endless summers gardening and climbing trees...Janet was bossy, loud full of fun and i loved her. Needless to say we grew up and married she became a nurse and had two beautiful girls. I went on to have my life and three children.....We stayed in touch through family and even though we were so close we drifted apart.Janet was forty when she lost her life to cancer...........When I'm really down i always seem to drift back to our Janet, its as if shes there still scolding me for being silly. I still see her yellow blond hair in pigtails...egging me on to get on with life no matter how hard it is. This year has been one of the hardest years for me having to deal with personal problems and a lot of other things...my faith has got me through and a memory of a little girl sitting with me on a mountain side all those years ago.....how i would give anything to go back just for a minute to say how much i loved you...Merry Christmas Janet and i love you xxx
