After we’d waved Mum goodbye at home, we walked the short distance to school andI remember seeing snowdrops poking through the snow. Joe went off to his class, which was in a prefab structure on the site, and I went to mine, Primary Four, which was a classroom in the main building. But life was different for me, because just two weeks after the attack, my family relocated to Nottinghamshire. In the ambulance Mum was told to say goodbye, but miraculously, after a few days in hospital, I was discharged. But I remembered the pain in Mum’s eyes the first time her little girl tried to end her life.
