When you've known and loved someone as long as I've known and loved this wonderful friend, it's hard to stop. She has been with me through the awkward years, the ugly years, the teeny-bopper years, the groupie years - essentially every memory I have exists within the span of our twenty-one year friendship.
She is genuine. She is kind. She is blunt when it's needed and tactful when I'm overly sensitive. She makes me laugh and laughs at my jokes. She is a wonderfully intelligent, creative, talented, courageous woman who has travelled to places I've only dreamt of and taken steps that I am only now finding the courage to take.
She is one of my nearest, dearest and best friends and I know she always will be. Wherever we go in this big old world, we will always be close because I love her like the sister I never had... and let's be honest, when you clock up as much time and as many memories with someone as she and I have, it's pretty much impossible to let them go.
Like the lifetime guarantee on repairs to the gorgeous bag she's made me, there is a lifetime guarantee that she will always be one of my very, very best friends and more so one of the most important, inspirational and influential people in my life.
