‘This is not how this was supposed to go. We had plans together, travel the world and dance on a beach in Jamaica for my birthday.

‘I used to fetch you everyday from crèche, swimming, chess since we were 8. You were only 28 yet the kindest, sweetest human being in my life!

‘I’ve lost my niece, my little sister, my best friend ☹️ Life dealt you the harshest card but you always chose to win, you always fought to come out the other side above it all with a smile on your face.

‘I love you much with all my heart and now you’re gone and I feel lost in more ways than one to a pain I’ve never felt before.
