11 months today. I have been grateful for a lot in my life. Any time I really want something that was logical I imagined my self with whatever it was. I never would waste much time on things that had no possibility in happening. But now there’s Andrew I spend every day of my life imagining he was with me. Wishing he was with me wanting to be with him and this is the one thing that I will never get again.

Im never going to see my babe again andrew Gillis meant the world to me. He was my partner. No matter what I wanted to be by his side he was proud of me he loved me. He knew my flaws and weekneses and I knew his. We always made it through all the things we went through in the 5 years together. I´ve never felt anything close to this. He was my person my future. I will never get over this.. I love that man nothing will ever replace him. I miss him ever second. I never stop thinking about him. Andrew forever will have my heart.
