RIP Luella

Where did it all go wrong? We were having such fun. It was all so fun

You must remember the parties? Oh, the parties Everyone was there.

I let you flirt with all those other girls; I was happy to share you with Alexa, for a while at least, and OKĀ  yes it did really fucking hurt when I saw you with Peaches but I could get over it, because I always knew youd come back to me eventually.

We had our good times. Remember that autumn of 2008? Those crazy days where we dressed like Pagans and hung out at the witch museum? You taught me it was socially acceptable to crimp my hair; you said it was OK if I wanted to wear a party dress even though I was only staying in to brush the cat.

Sure, there was that difficult patch this spring; but I thought we were coming through the other side of it? I should have known then things would never be the same again. When you started to say it was OK for grown-ups to wear bows in their hair I should have taken that as a sign.

I should have known it couldnt last forever.

But then again…

Dear Luella

Were you watching too much Miss Marple? Did you run out of witty, English eccentricities to reference? Was the witch museum closed? We really wouldn’t have minded more capes and pointy hats and sticky-out dirndl skirts… it’s just that we do mind our nana’s old pinnies being sewn together to make dresses.
