Showing photos of Moira

1992 August

Moira I'm sitting here looking at photos of you, so many happy photos and happy memories. It's remarkable how seeing one photo can bring so many memories and feelings to the surface. I miss you so much but the photos reminded me of back in 1992. We'd been back from America for just under two years. I went on holiday back to the States to stay with my friends. One day I walked past the bookshop on Elm Street in New Canaan. I'm not sure which ice cream shop I went to but I was walking down the street eating my ice cream when someone called out "Moira's brother!!!!". Hearing that always made me feel proud. I can't remember who of your many friends spotted me but they came over and were delighted when I started showing photos of you in the UK. I could tell how much they missed you but were happy you were happy in England. Very soon a crowd of people who all knew had appeared out of seemingly no where, all struggling to have a look at the photos of you. I stood there, stunned, eating my ice cream, answering questions of what you were up to. That's the effect you had Moira, everywhere you went you touched people's lives and made them happier for having known you. While I don't have pictures to show people what you're doing now in heaven, I have so many pictures of your life here. When ever I feel sad that you're not here, I take great comfort seeing photos of you. I love you Mo and miss you.
