Dr Leah Murray (aka “P” or “My Little”)

 

P and I met at high school, I remember thinking how extraordinarily small she was. She still is. Like my Dad says, she is like a little “Pixie Doctor” that makes magic wherever she goes. Dr P, a born hippie brought up in the forest in Plettenberg Bay, and I really bonded when I noticed that she might be a little bit better than me in art class (I know, impossible right). Well, this multi-talented little tiny hippie pixie doctor friend of mine, has it all. The biggest heart, the blondest hair, the patience of a saint, the artistic capabilities akin to van Gogh and a sense of humour and laugh like no other person, ever. Despite these amazing qualities, I of course took this on as a challenge, befriended her, and managed to corrupt her by being the first person to get her drunk (on two lemon Hooches) and once achieved, I put her in an empty bath with a horse book to read because I was worried she could not keep her drink down and I wanted to go ‘spade’ some dude. Kiff friend. Soon after this, P lost her way and attempted to bunk out of school which lead to our one and only argument ever. Needless to say, I saved her from her downward spiral and she went on to finish school with an A aggregate and is now an outstanding emergency Doctor (with a functional medicine edge). P, you the only person in the world that can make me laugh until my belly literally hurts (“Blaaaadddyy Ducks”). Its an honour and a privileged to have you as my bridesmaid!
