halloween was special for a number of reasons. firstly, it was only the one i shared with stacey. i also received a record amount of sweets, money and fruit. i could not believe my luck. i think it was down to stacey's charm (even if she was cruella devil) or my not so genius, john higgins impersonation. that night just proved to be special. stacey and i shared jokes, threw away monkey nuts and knocked on over 100 doors. after it was decided we should go home, we started our chocolate. fireworks were being lit in my estate and were somewhat spectacular. i distinctively remember hugging stacey and being ecstatic. it seemed as though life was perfect. the fireworks stopped. stacey suffered from really bad asthma. i know many people suffer from asthma and the severity is wide-ranging. i also know it's very rare for someone to die from an attack. medicines are readily available and in the 21st century, i wouldn't expect death as a consequence of asthma. stacey's asthma prevented us from playing as much football as we would have liked. i never for one minute thought stacey could ever suffer a fatal attack. i don't think many people think of the consequences of the illness until the reality is riveted home through a tragedy. the night before stacey died, we both sat in her house discussing things as usual. i never once imagined that it
