Today I was reminded that it's been a whole, long, soul-wrecking year since Shani last spoke to me.
A year since we chatted, laughed and played together.
A year since she went into hospital for that last fateful time.
A year since I last heard her quote the Dumb Debbie sketch from TV.
A year since I saw her smile.
A year since her presence brightened up the room.
A year since she slept in her bed and cuddled her teddies.
A year since I kissed her goodnight.
