“I was left by my family, a lot like you were. I felt abandoned, angry and lonely, like a part of my heart was ripped from my chest, as I reckon you did. At that point I had two choices: be consumed by the anger and loneliness or be consumed by the love that surrounded me from my family and friends. I chose the latter. I made up my mind to love and appreciate what I have left. Even though my heart was broken and to this day it aches.”
