Dear Caitlin,
I will never forget the first time I saw that cheeky smile of yours.
Laughing with your mates in the park, your red hair bounced in the wind as you smiled at me when I walked past.
‘Come sit with us,’ you said, so confident.
In that moment, I knew we had a connection.
It was 2008, and at 14 years old, we became best mates.
Living just a few streets away from each other in Brisbane, Australia, we spent every day together, meeting up after school to start right where we’d left off the day before.
You were so fun, vibrant and full of life, such a ray of light.
So it was no surprise, then, that just four years later, when we were 18, our friendship…
