This is hard to write but I wanted to share a little something about the most amazing person I have ever known. The first day I met Amanda I was very sad about something and Amanda sat me down and made me a cup of tea. She made me feel better with her calm nature and friendly smile. I suddenly had a strange feeling I had met a great friend . It's like sometimes you just know you have met a special person and they will change your life somehow. That was over 20 years ago but I still remember that smile she gave me as if it was yesterday. We had so much fun and not just fun but many hours of conversation over a cup of coffee and a bacon sandwich. There's the Bluewater shopping trips or the many ride's on are horses and the many hours spent at the stables just hanging out . It's amazing how it would take us most of the day to do jobs that should have taken a few hours. I trusted her with everything because you knew that if you told her something she would keep it to herself and never tell a soul. She was so amazing with advice and was the best for a shoulder to cry on. She was the first person I told when I found out I was having a baby. I will never forget the moment I asked her to be my son's godmother or the proud look on her face on the day of the christening. Amanda had this wonderful love for her family and watching her with her daughters really helped when i became a mum because i learnt so much from her. She truly was the most kind , brave and wonderful person that leaves you privilege to have known her. Yes there are sad moments but I will make sure the only memories I keep are the one's with her beautiful smile in them. I will keep these wonderful memories with me forever ❤️
