This was the last photo Tenisha and I had taken with Kelly. We went to McDonalds for Tenisha's birthday and we had a great day. Kelly came with a beautiful ice cream cake and lots of presents for Tenisha. Four weeks and four days later she was gone.
Tenisha and I had this photo taken. Tenisha is wearing a hat her mum bought her and I am wearing Kelly's hat. It was my way of making Kelly part of this photo.
This photo was taken 2006 when Kelly went into Odyssey House. Tenisha visited her every weekend. Kelly did so well. She stayed for 3 months this time. We were so proud of her.
Kelly and mum sharing a champagne and saying goodbye but not for long. Kelly hitched a ride on a removalist truck to Melbourne and arrived at my doorstep at 2am in the morning wanting to start a new life with me.
