[…] She is truly the BEST. Our relationship is stronger than it’s ever been before and we seriously just laugh & smile the whole time ANY TIME we are together. I just love her so much and don’t know what I would do without her. Thank god there are people on earth like my mother. Selfless. Compassionate. Loving. And so darn, fun to be around. She’s truly my best forever friend. No shame in saying that AT ALL. […]
