Now Bobby’s remains are scattered among the graves in
Kensal Green Cemetery. No one was there for the cremation except her
probation officer. The social services cremated her and her remains
were never collected by her family, although they kept them for a
year.
There
was no record in the book of remembrance for her. It was if she had
been discarded or as if she hadn’t existed at all. I sat among the
ancient gravestones and I told Bobby that at last I understood and
that I was sorry about everything. But although I didn’t understand
at the time, Bobby, I said I really did love you. And at that point
I decided to do something about it. The result is this web site
dedicated to Bobby. This is what I wrote in the book of remembrance:
Bobby was courageous, beautiful and kind-hearted, and always
resolute in her belief in the feminine. Bobby will never be
forgotten and will always be loved by Mair.
