The purist of souls are just too good for Earth! I met you back in 2011 but im so Greatful that God gave us the opportunity to reconnect these last 4 months! I got so close to you! I will forever vision us Dancing in my head when I close my eyes! Prayers to those who have no clue how to take the next step without you!. Watch over them! Until we meet again, I Hope You Dance ❤
