Rach, I'm sorry. I wish I had the words but I'm still pinching myself trying to accept what's happened. I miss you so much and the amount of photos I've gone through isn't half of how many I have. You were my first friend I had in college, we both looked at each other and asked ourselves what on earth were we doing there! As much as I've cried I've also laughed, laughed so much at all the nights out, the videos of you sat on the road drunk shouting at random people walking passed, our trip to Disney land waiting 3 hours to get on a ride for to get straight off it when you got on, and you trying to mime "my favourite things' to me during my solo exam at college because I hadn't learned the lyrics. I have endless stories to tell but we would be here all day. We fought like granny's, we hugged so hard, and we made everyone laugh together. This is so hard to accept. I wish more than anything to be home for you. But a few days before you fell asleep you told me to not worry and to continue my adventure in Australia. You didn't deserve to suffer. I love you Rach. You can now finally hug your mum. I'll continue to listen to Brucey every morning. I'm lighting a candle and raising a pint for you mate.
