Death of a Friend |
When I was 16 I had a friend who died of Hodgkin's Disease - she was also 16.
The funeral was held at Emmanuel Church and we were given time off school to go to the service. It was my first funeral, and I remember I didn't know if I should take my school hat off in church.
It was sadder than I expected, even though I hadn't seen her for a while and she had been ill for about 4 years, so it still came as a shock.
I still think about her now, and wonder what she might be doing, and I know it affected many of us who were at junior school with her.
She loved horses and I still have the funeral sheet with one of her drawings of a horse. I just never wanted to throw it away. |
