Susan Louise Ridyard – All big white teeth and a long fringe, smiling. The framed photograph of two girls and one boy that’ll become just one girl and one boy in the photographs on the sideboard, the photographs in the hall, the photographs on the wall, the one girl and one boy growing – Always growing but never smiling – Never smiling because of the little girl they’ll leave behind on top of the TV, the little girl who’ll be always smiling – Never growing but always smiling: Susan Ridyard – The one they’ll leave behind.
