Goodbye Cheryle

I am breaking the radio silence.

I am not posting a  picture.

As this is a moment of emptiness.

A comrade has gone. She has fought as hard as ever I can imagine someone fighting against such odds. She set up a charity in New Zealand for young women with breast cancer. I went to school with her.

She was my first port of call when I was diagnosed. She was supportive and calm and I could talk to her about everything. She was a year below me at school. We got the bus together.

We spoke openly about dying, about loved ones, about school friends a d the fact we reckoned that our school was one big asbestos pit of doom. !!

Farewell Cheryle, you really did give it all you had and more and you gave all you had for others too. A special person I feel humbled to of met.

Life is fucking shit sometimes but you were a one to find the funny side xxx bless you lovely lady xxx
