My heart is physically aching right now. And I regret not following through with our plans many times. We talked about me flying to you, and every time you came home & recently moved back we were suppose to get together. Life just isn’t fair, you’re a beautiful soul my girl. Rest peacefully, and watch over your loved ones.
