Almost everyone has ‘family friends’. Many will also have some of these family friends whom you will feel such a bond with to simply class them as family. Unfortunately, one of my extended family members recently passed away.
We spent a childhood together full of smiles and laughter and most importantly creating brilliant memories together. My friend passed away at the age of 20 due to a terrible and rare form of terminal cancer. The memories we planned to create into the future had suddenly disappeared and stories only she remembered lay forgotten.
She was one of the most inspirational and talented people you could ever meet, turning any frown upside down, staying positive through her battle with cancer, and always living life to the fullest.
I want to write this blog to keep those childhood memories forever to share with the world, in the future to my children and most importantly: to remind myself that there is always a part of her with me.
So here is the beginning of my blog which will hold my story. Steph’s story.
