I'm still in shock with the events that took place yesterday and the extremely difficult experience of having to say goodbye to my best friend this morning. I'm going to precursor this post by saying, I don't know if any of it is going to make sense or be cohesive, but I'm truly not in the best headspace as I grieve the best gift that was given to me.
