I Remember Diana - One of the Best Ever

By Miranda Kaunang

I remember how great it was to meet you. You were so colourful and you wore trainers.

I remember you said Malcolm was once lost and found in Llandudno. I wondered if the seagulls tried to steal your chips.

I remember your amusement when you told me how old you were. It shocked me.

I remember signing away my job and you told me it was going to be alright. We drummed with our hands.

I remember you loved oysters. You were the pearl.

I remember you singing in the choir and hugging friends in the break.

I remember you said that if you were a plant you'd like to be wild garlic.

I remember you talked about your loved ones with smiling eyes. Always.

I remember that you were a whizz on the what's app. Always something positive to say even on the last day.

I remember you loved my marmalde so I put some more aside for you.

I remember you thought the mackerel from Moelfre was magic. You cooked it with oats and rhubarb.

I remember you and Mary drinking white wine and having a laugh. Every week.

I remember you preferred walking to getting a lift.

I remember how kind and generous you were. You gave your time freely.

I remember your passion for the theatre and music and singing and writing and being.

I remember that I forgot to tell you how much your friendship and gentle advice meant to me.

Good Bye dear Diana OBE.

One of the Best Ever.
