I've just heard the news that the love of my life passed away...we are still waiting on more information...I don't know how I feel or what to do...the pain is unbearable. I will never forget the memories we made! She was far too young for this & had so much to give 😭😭😭💔💔💔!

There is no bringing her back. I’ve never said before. I kept hope that she would magically come back into my life like a movie but sadly god had other plans for her. The therapy I’ve had & still go through is so helpful.
I would just trade anything for even one more day 💔
