Since I was 4 you have always played a huge role in my life. I looked up to you then and I still do now. You taught me to dance. If it weren't for you I would never have had confidence to stand on a stage infront of thousands to perform. However you were more than a teacher, you were a beautiful friend. You helped me grow as a person, giving me confidence to be the person I am today. You always encouraged me to stand for what I believed in. Helped me through so many bad days, petty fights and girly issues. I was so lucky to spend my final year of Primary school with you, best year of schooling and one that I will never forget. I remember you used to laugh at me because I talked using my hands- yet I would always catch you doing it too. So many endless dancing days, and so many memories. I was one of the many who got to spend part of my life in your presense and I am so thankful for every day. I hope that some day I can grow up to be like you. You changed my life in so many ways. A beautiful lady, who I will miss so much. You will never be forgetten.
RIP Debbie Smith. Forever in my heart ♥
