Abi and I met nearly two decades ago at work and, instantly became the best of friends. Abi, a complex person (aren't we all?), single minded, intelligent, tenacious, with a gloriously inappropriate sense of humour and very generous spirit, battled cancer for many years, as did her mum and Ruby dog before her. Sadly, Abi lost her battle. We lost our Abi. Whenever I see a huge mug of tea, a mini, the colour red, or bee motif, I think of Abi and, always will. Wherever you are Abi, I miss you, my friend. Love always, Michelle.
