Tommy and I being silly…..this was a good day.

These are precious moments I will carry with me always……

I remember I was thinking, “This man, OMG, this man I love so much..”

We should’ve had so many more beautiful days, instead of always being in that damn haze.

This is the only place I have ever truly felt safe….

In this moment, I finally sleep peacefully, wrapped in your arms, safe from the storm in my soul.

We laughed so hard that night….how do we get back to that???

There is a part of me that thought by making these memories now, it would somehow make me whole.

They say a picture speaks 1000 words……what does this one say??

Now I know I was so very wrong and that for me to be whole I had to fix the broken me.

He just decided he wanted to dance…..so dance we did!!

I only wish the moments didn’t turn to memories so fast, because in these moments I finally felt free.

Please don’t let all the precious moments in your life fly right by without a second glance. They are moments you never get back, and for me, those moments turned to memories are what I keep holding onto and in reality, I’m not free, but trapped in a memory of what may never be.
