This is the first year of birthdays without my beautiful big sister Susan. 

My birthday is the 9th April and Susan the 13th. I used to always moan that my cards were whipped down too soon to make way for my sister’s when we were younger. Luckily we never had to share a cake 🎂

I wanted to donate for both our birthdays this year to firstly remember my sister but also to help Kilbryde Hospice who rely so heavily on charity donations but also were indescribable with how they looked after Susan as well as myself, my Mum and Dad and even friends when needed. 

Happy Birthday sisy. I love you ❤️
