Rachael Dodd

I didn't know you

I didn't know you Rachael, but i've just read your story on the Liverpool Echo website and it really touched my heart. I myself suffer from epilepsy and try to not let it get in the way of anything I do. I'm only 20 myself and find it so tragic that anybody could die so young, especially from epilepsy. Epilepsy is a cruel thing and cannot be prevented from being in our lives, but i'm positive that it didn't stop you doing everything you ever dreamed of.

RIP Rachael and god bless.

Hey Rach, I havent been on here for ages but have just sat reading the new notes I have missed! Can't belive its been three years, its strange as sometimes it feels like only yesterday that me you and george where sat in my mums winding george up about something, and other times it seems like it was a million years ago! There isnt a day that goes past that i dont think about you, or talk to your picture- sound a bit like a nutter but hey ho! Me, george and nick dropped your beautiful flowers off before, seen Mike and your mum and dad pulled up as we were leaving, they must find today like there worst nightmere! Your mum treatd me and george to a costa coffee on Sunday, it ws lovely as I havent seen your mum in ages, she is a very special lady and I know you will keep looking over her, she needs you close!
As you know me and kev have set a date, went trying on dresses with my mum and george the other week, can wait for it but if i had one wish it would be for you to be there, just not the same!
Think ive rammbled for long enough, going to get some beauty sleep in preperation for saturday, when we go for a nice meal and have one too many drinks in your memory! lots of love xxxxxxx

3 years?

Rach cant believe its been 3 years. Not a moment goes by where your not in my mind, thinking of Helen, Bob, Mike and Nanny Helen and for every body that knew you on this sad day. I look up in the sky and i know your looking down on us all, looking after us. Whenever i think of you the image of you walking down my street with those minni mouse ears on makes me laugh every time, or the time you took me to that abandoned house and the man locked us in we cried and cried. Every single time me and my mum came round you would have us both in stitches with your little storys you used to tell us. God took you too soon, but heaven now has the pleasure of your presence. Gone but will never ever be forgotten, how could any one forget you Rach? Miss and Love you loads Becky xxx
