I guess you were always Gemma's older sister when I used to come over and play. Then the teenage years came along and the age gaps didn't mean so much. Bonded by Suz, the fun times began. Crazy car missions fuelled by Caramilk, Tally, Currumundi, Coolum, dress up parties. Along with the parties and laughs were many d & m's, talking over the issues of that interesting phase of life. You were always those few years ahead of me, offering me valuable insight and experience for things I was yet to tackle. A few years later we were off adventuring through Europe, tackling many new experiences together - it was awesome to have such a confident, organised and outgoing travel buddy! Those experiences definitely cemented the bonds and gave us some memories to share for life. There's not been so many opportunities for creating shared memories over the last few years, but any time or conversation shared with you is always valued and enjoyable because you're such a friendly, funny, thoughtful, and intelligent girl. I feel fortunate to have such a friend - even though you may be on other side of the world! Looking forward to seeing you again my friend.
Lots of love and a big hug, Jem.
