If 16 year old me knew that as an adult, I’d get my thrills sitting on the porch on summer evenings watching the deer lazily roam around my yard she’d be so disappointed in me.

On Monday, I had to say goodbye to my best friend and soulmate for the past 15 years. I was 1.5 yrs sober and she was 1.5 yrs old when she came into my life. We were both scared, angry, and traumatized.
This is the last picture I took of her. Heartbroken doesn’t even begin to describe the pain.
