Last August one of my very best friends and my high school boyfriend passed away in a tragic accident.
Today would have been his 23rd birthday.
His mom texted me last night after I was already asleep and I woke up to her text this morning that just gripped my heart. I have not been there for her the past 8 months and I hate myself for it everyday, but I felt like it would make the pain easier for both of us to not be around each other. I am selfish and I feel horribly guilty.
I had decided a while ago that I would take her flowers every year for his birthday and for mother's day, so today that is what I will do. I am going to give her a gorgeous purple orchid because they continue to bloom year after year.
I miss you DG and I know you are probably shaking your head at me with that goofy smirk. Don't worry though, I will crack one open for you tonight!
The glory days haha! We love you! |
I hope that everyone has a great week!
It takes effort to maintain friendships, just like any relationship! It is worth it! Those that have been there the longest are in your life for a reason! Be thankful!
