that time of year

The end of October is a reflective time for me due to the birthday and anniversary of death of my friend Harriet. 

My friend Harriet remains with me as much since her death as when she was alive. There is something about our friendship that means I always struggle through the days leading up to and after the 29th and 31st October. This year the Maroon 5 song 'Memories' has been playing in my mind the most.....

"Here's to the ones that we got

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you"
