#30 We Miss You

My testimony is about childhood and friendship. This photo was taken in 1994 ( I have edited it to give it a more 'vintage' look), and in the photo are my 2 daughters and some of their closest friends. Every school holidays for many years we would spend our summers at Wallaroo Beach, each family renting a shack and spending blissful summer days together playing, swimming,running through the sand-hills, fishing, crabbing and having the best summer fun. They are days that will never be forgotten by the children or the adults. This group of friends are all in their early 20's now, but very sadly one of the children in this photo is no longer with us.
The evidence I've used is 1. distressing ( I have tried to create an old pin up board ) 2.dripping 3.4 patterns, stripe ( the journal paper ) polka dot, gingham and floral. 4. brads, 5. metal.
The journalling on the post card reads: All of you such good friends, growing up together, going to school together and all those wonderful summer holidays spent at the beach; such great times you had.
