My dear friend Deborah , We met in the sunshine of Tenerife , we shared lunch and you and my husband Bob shared your stories of being in South Africa , Bob was there with his family 10 years before you were there with yours. The excitement and passion you both shared was electric . We spent about 3 lovely hours with you and Simon . Exchanged email addresses and went back to our holidays . We exchanged emails quickly and your fun and crazy emails were a great support to me through my own cancer journey . Then you started your own journey and I supported you. We laughed and joked in our emails and you always wanted to know what was going on in my life , as I did what I was told and tried to live life to the full . You fought so very hard my dear friend . We only spent 3 hrs in each other’s company but 3 precious years of correspondence. In your email on 20th February you wrote “ it was an honour to have met me “ well dear Deborah the honour was all mine . At the start of our friendship I opened a folder for your emails and I will read them again with love and affection - trying very hard to decipher your crazy writing style ! I will laugh at all the wrong advise you gave me when I was going through treatment and your realisation of how wrong some of it was when you started yours - you were shocked .We laughed! It didn’t matter , as you really did care about me . Sleep tight my dear friend and fly high with the angels . Lorna and Bob
