"All you lovely gals and guys who support me, you don't understand how much I truly love reading your comments and they always make everything worthwhile.

"I am an emotional little soul as you all know; I found the love of my life and I also found a whole new life of change and hard moments.

"Truly know the hard moments will blossom into the best memories and just need to keep going and keep being strong for myself, my friends, my family and my boyfriend.

"Thank you so much for your continued support and amazing comments. You're the ones keeping me sane."
