Transcript

Hi, my name is Gemma. I've just discovered youtube and, there seems to be a lot of people on here.
Bree, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I'm pretty sure you remember my dog.
I know she looks a little frail but you used to come over and play with her all the time, you guys were like inseparable ,like best friends or something.
Something else you might remember is...uh, I, I taught you this game. In america you guys like to call it "rock-paper-scissors" , but here on this side of the world we tend to have a different version, it's "squirrel", "nut", "man" . Man with nut allergy kills squirrel, squirrel eats nut, nut kills man. It's kinda like that continuous cycle.
If you remember me, then ...as I just feel like a rubbish person in here. So Bree, I live in London, my parents still live in a community, um, I kind just wanted to branch off from things, I'm going  to university now, um, it looks like when I graduate I could be getting … if I keep on track.
Bree, I'm really sorry to see that things seem difficult for you right now and, with regard to you and Daniel , I've experienced it. It's very difficult to let outsiders understand everything and, I personally can't deal with that, so I guess that's why I moved to London.
Well Bree, it's nice to see that you're all growing up. Take care. See you.
