Hi Shell
I just want to say thanks sooooooo much for letting me go to Italy. I had sooooo much fun I can’t even put it into words. You work so hard all year round to make the trip the best it can be, I really did have the time of my life and will never forget it or the best group of people that I have ever met … I just can’t believe it’s over now … Yeah I’m lonely … I don’t know what to do with myself … it’s like I was so used to being with everybody and to just go to not being with everybody … It’s really hard and last night I was listening to that sad CD and got so upset … but at the same time it brought back great memories that I will never forget …
Yeah your such a good teacher … you let me go at my own speed and helped me to ski a lot and get me to Ladurns mountain I am grateful, glad and proud of everything you do thank you for everything.
You take care and keep up all your hard work and I hope things go the way you want in your life because Shell you totally deserve it … You are such a great person I have never met anyone like you … you bring smiles to many children’s faces and I will never forget you Michelle
All the best … and keep in touch if you don’t mind !
All my Love

I will never forget how you taught me to ski .. you were such a good teacher .. you let me go at my own pace and never got angry with me when I didn’t do it that well .. after the first day I felt I was rubbish because I couldn’t do it and I am soo thankful for you and Martin’s help to get me to skiing .. and I never thought in a million years I would get to the top of Ladurns .. but I’m so glad I did .. it was beautiful and the views were breathtaking .. up there I forgot about my problems and realised that I was in a place where I was completely myself and with a group of amazing and wonderful people .. that had helped me in so many ways they would probably never know .. but I was soo grateful at meeting them .. and to get a chance to do something I had never thought of doing .. I’m glad you feel proud of me because I thought I let you down .. but you assured me I didn’t and I am glad that I made you a teeny bit proud ..
You are soo like one of us .. you are so young at heart .. you seemed more like one of us … you are so entertaining and aren’t like a proper adults with rules and stuff .. like you still do all that but your fun and have a great time .. which is great to see.
Yeah I didn’t have much confidence to start with .. like here I have low self esteem and everything but on Katie’s I felt like I could be me and people seemed to like it and I have grown more confident just in myself and that I can do new things and people can like me for who I am and it was all down to you so thank you again so much .. I can’t say it enough and I know you hate me going on and everything but I felt it just has to be said
Sorry for blabbin on .. again
Take care .. and keep in touch
Lots of love
