Selena, on the occasion of her birthday
Selena's birthday and nearly at the fifth anniversary of her death. Tonight we'll have a cake from the posh shop in Chiswick and raise a cup or glass to her. Oh, Selena.
When she died she left our days and conversations but I truly think she stays with us in memory, hearts, minds, lives. I find her unexpectedly in the spaces I make for her without thinking and in the things I can't bring myself to edit. When I lost my mobile last month, I finally lost Selena's numbers from my address book. It was oddly upsetting, if sentimental. Cranky crippled redheaded geek, it's been a while since you turned up in my dreams, but I know you're there.
Happy birthday, Selena, we miss you, we love you, we miss you.
