No matter what happens, she will always be my best<3 I love you molly.

Story: In my junior year I was seeing a guy my parents didn't want me to see. A girlfriend took me aside and I asked her how she knew her husband was it. So she told me. You clear thoughts in your head and make a list of qualities and traits you want your future husband to have. Then put it away and forgot all about it. When someone comes along that you think is the right one take the list out and he should be everything on that list. I've fallen with a lifelong friend and couldn't be any happier!!

I never got to say good bye or see him one last time, because I moved for college, but he was planning on moving here late for us. I love him and miss him so much more everyday. It doesn't get better and the crying never stops. I miss everything about him. Most of all I miss the way he looked at me, and how much he truly loved me. I love you Jeremy. xoxo
