Luckily it seems that fate sent you somewhere to recover in time for what is happening now, and I thank all the friends you have in this house as I feel they saved you for me.”

I could see how it must have been so hard for her to do the right thing in the absence of her friend, but she was right I had seen the mess Andy had been in and I hoped she would reassure her friend that she had done the right thing.

“It’s ok Karen I know you did everything because of me and to be honest I think you were in the right thank you for waiting and coming now, you are my oldest friend and as much my sister as Libby and Holly any day.”

After saying this Andy began to laugh and Libby, Karen and I just watched hoping for an explanation. She laughed for a few minutes before controlling herself enough to speak again.

“It just feels so amazing that only ten days ago I felt alone in the worst way, and now I have a family the size of a small village in England and I feel alive and as though I can face anything so long as you are all behind me. And Karen it is me who was lucky to have you as my friend you are kind and funny and I love you because you were always just real.”

With that it seemed that the room relaxed, I had a chance to chat to Libby and Karen and could feel the love and admiration they held for Andy as they spoke of times gone by and a life thousands of miles away.

Listening to them I watched Andy and I finally realised what it was that made her so appealing, She really had no idea how stunning and good she was and had no ego whatsoever she just moved through the day doing her best for those she loved and for herself the only thing was she had no idea how much impact she truly had on the lives of people she met, Rachel was the same and that was why they were such amazing people and I thanked whoever had sent them into our lives again as I truly felt blessed to know them.
