Our last encounter was about 2 months ago at church when you messaged me and told me look up and across. I left where I was immediately and came straight across and hugged you so tight. I didn’t want u to see me emotional, so I kept it all in and tried to be strong. U were tired but u was always a fighter. Then I rubbed your back and kissed you! Told you I was praying for you.”
