BAE SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO WRITE THIS, I JUST HAD TO GET MYSELF TOGETHER. WE SPENT 5 YEARS OF OUR LIFE TOGETHER AND THIS IS THE LONGEST WE'VE BEEN APART I MISS U SO MUCH. WE HAD A LOT PLANED AFTER WE BOTH FINISH HIGH SCHOOL AND FINISH COLLEGE AT DELGADO. WE HAD PLANS TO GET MARRIED BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS FOR YOU. SOMETIMES I ASK WHY BUT ONLY GOD HAS THAT ANSWER. I CRY EVERY NIGHT TALKING TO YOU, YOU'RE ALWAYS TELLING ME TO "KEEP MY HEAD UP AND FINISH COLLEGE BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD," I KNOW YOUR IN BETTER PLACE AND I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE ALL I THINK ABOUT. KEEP TALKING TO ME EVERYDAY I THINK THAT HELPS A LOT. I LOVE YOU!!!
