Hello babe, I've been really thinking about you lately. I miss you so much. Your big heart, your smile, your laugh, well everything about you. I'm so glad you came into my life when you did because you talked me through a lot things and I was there for you when you was going through some things, in your life. We helped each other and I'm forever grateful. I knew you wanted and was trying to change and I was helping you, to do so, but it felt like a black cloud was weighing over you. We was planning some things and the devil knew we were going to be unstoppable. I told you that I will always be your ride or die and I meant that. I stayed with you until the end. I prayed for you, the entire time I was there, at the hospital. I rubbed you from head to feet. I'll never forget how you held my hand and didn't want to let me go, while you were transitioning. Never will I forget that tear that fell from your right eye when I told you that I love you, and you couldn't respond back but that was the sign that you heard me. I miss you man. Continue to rest peacefully. Love you FOREVER AND A DAY. #MyTurk
Love Quessa
