This "girl" (because as young as she looks, she is 42!!) was my carer for 5 years... had to go because not just some personal problems but also she has RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and was not well. We met back in 2001 when Sarita started primary here in England, we came in the middle of the year and was having a tough time and we shared time in a couple of school trips, but then kind of lost touch, saw each other at her daughter's Holly Communion and then the girl came to spend a Halloween with us in 2014, it was by chance that she heard I was looking for someone at the time, then she became another daughter. It was heart breaking when she had to leave, but kept the friendship, so much that, when she came back from holidays in the Portugal's Algarve, she came to visit and got me all the photos (she said I know you want to have photos to scrap!!!) so am living a little the traveling I still can't do...here is praying and hoping for this summer being able to do so!!!!
