Today I found out that an old friend of mine passed away a year ago. I am still in shock. She was my age.
Her name was Sam, and I met her when we were apprentice chefs at Wockpool in Darling Harbour many moons ago. She and Rosa used to do everything together. Now I think of my friend Rosa and the loss she would have felt, and my heart breaks.
The last time I saw Sam in person was in the UK. She was living there too and came to see me in Reading. I can still see her sat on the couch. I would sometimes stop by her Facebook page to see her smiling face stare back at me.I never thought that I would never see her again.
I have been so wrapped up in my own life that I totally missed that Sam was ill. It may have been years since I last saw her, but she was still my friend and I respected her as a chef, colleague and most of all as my friend.
On this day, the one year anniversary of her passing, I send my sincere and heartfelt condolences to her family.The stars have gained another shining light, and we have lost another beautiful soul on Earth. Rest in peace Sam.
