When I think about my sister Kerry, I remember the good times – doing each other’s hair and make-up as teenagers or curled up on the sofa together giggling. Two years younger than me, Kerry was like my shadow and we did everything together. We met our first boyfriends around the same time, Kerry aged 14 and me aged 16. There was no doubting why Kerry’s boyfriend Eddie* had fallen for her bubbly personality and gorgeous smile. While my young love didn’t last, Kerry and Eddie’s did and they went on to have two children together Billy* and Samantha.* In the meantime, I found love with my friend Steve, and we started building our life together.
As Kerry’s kids
