Short story: Sadie

Item

Hi, my name is Sadie. I'm writing this little story about PTC.

A shell.

This shell reminds me of the days away with kinship carers and kids. Beautiful memories.

Also, as I joined PTC roughly 18 years ago, kinship, carers and kids all travelled to Iona. 100 of us. This shell has brought up so many memories. Also PTC have gave me strength, energy and different thoughts. PTC have kindly organised trips to Iona. I love going to the beaches, throwing stones into the water, and looking at shells … and relaxing.

Going to the Abbey, believe it or not, I clearly remember, a shell on a table at the Abbey, As I said, these memories will live on with me and a lot of people for the rest of their lives.

Sorry, wee Jean told me to stop writing now, playing laugh out loud. Am I writing a book? So I've stopped writing now Jean.
