My dearest Junior
You were the one whose hand always slipped into mine when words just weren't enough...
You were the one who stayed
by my side whenever
skies looked dark...
You were the one who knew me deep down, who cried, laughed and shared things with me that no one else could understand...
You were the only one who
loved me...
The only one who could ever be the other half of my soul.
Until we meet again.
Forever, Barbara
